I purchased a bunch of craft magazines today, and when I got home, I found some of them smell really musty. Does anyone have any suggestions for getting rid of the smell? I hope I don't have to just get rid of the magazines!

Hi ~ Same thing happened to me with old catalogs and someone said to put Bounce Dryer sheets in with magazines .... in a sealed plastic bag for a week or so .... works pretty good but don't let the bounce sheets touch the pages ... found out the hard way .. takes some of the print away !! Now I make sure to put paper towels in between the bounce sheets and pages !

I've had great success getting stink out/covering
stink up using Potporri in a large box and placing the
items inside. You can get large bags of it for cheap
at craft supply stores. I'll have to try the newspaper
and dryer sheet tricks too. Good luck!

Put in plastic bag, dust with plain baking soda. Make sure the mags are completely DRY or you will end up with chunks of baking soda stuck on them.

hey mon- the funky smell actual like is
the result of mold mon! so kill that mold
mon! zap it in a micro wave machine mon!
about thirty seconds and be sure the machine is metal safe if you got them staples mon!
if the poor books still be damp from the
start of this hideous miss use- then put
your paper towel in between the sheets mon!
this is truth mon! most of all be kind for
the beauty in your actions is the jolly
face of jah mon! peace dreadi
