musty-smelling stuff from college storage?

What about baking soda? I’ve had good luck using that to get rid of the musty smell in our basement, but I scattered it on the carpet in the offending areas, and left it there. I’m not sure how you would do it with paper, although I suppose you could put some in a bowl and place in a confined area with the papers. I have also had good luck with Damp Rid in musty smelling closets. You can purchase it at Lowe’s or one of the Marts. I have also found it at the grocery stores we frequent. I use the one that comes in a plastic container that is refillable. Again, I’m not sure how this would work with paper products, but it might be worth a try.
