I left a pair of suede boots in my damp basement, now they smell musty. Any ideas for getting rid of the mustiness ?

My grandmother says to put them in a plastic trash bag with a bunch of newspaper inside the boots and more around them. Then seal the bag up and wait. She says it can take a week or so.
The newspaper should absorb the odor. I have done this with suitcases that have been stored in the basement. Good luck! smile

Try putting “Fabric softener sheets” inside the boots……… Leave them there when you wear them too………………
