How do I protect my books from musty book odor?
Old books can be beautiful but they often stink. Musky book odor is a real thing and can affect your entire household. Have you ever gone to a book sale where there were rare or old books? If you picked one up,the book smelled just like the home did. It’s from a combination of old smoke, food and drink, and from being closed off for years. There is a quick, easy and efficient way to get rid of book odor even for rare and antique books and manuscripts.

One of our really happy customers wrote to us and said, ““Dear Innofresh: …..I ordered a package of your “Fridge It” charcoal odor absorbers in an attempt to remove the pungent cigarette smell from a large, expensive second hand book I had purchased online. I separated each of the 551 pages with small cards to increase air flow and enclosed the book in a large white plastic bag with your product for six months. Today I cut open the bag and… the book smells like a walk on a fresh spring day. Many thanks for marketing this product. It worked far beyond my expectations……”
While this customer kept her book closed up for six months that is not a requirement. However,separating the pages with a blank card can certainly accelerate the process. That was good thinking that is worthy of passing on to others with similar issues.
