Removing Mildew Smell

Unread post by flashcards »

A friend gave a deck that was printed sometime in the 1980's. The cards are in good shape but smell of mildew. Any ideas about how to get the smell out?

I'd tried the trick of keeping the cards (having mild smell of mildew) in a gift set box with joss sticks. It worked for me.

Thanks Sunish. The cards came in a gift box and I happen to have some incense sticks so I'll give it a try. Any other suggestions?

This post was my first reference as my cards were in bad shape. Can't say it helped much but it was a good start.
