QuestionI was given a small old suitcase of my grandmother. It is very musty smelling but I am concerned about how to clean the red taffeta lining. Any suggestions?Community AnswerBegin by letting it air out for a few days in a good smelling room. If possible, if there is no chance of rain, air it outside in the sun for a day. You could also try spraying some Febreeze or similar fabric deodorant spray in it. After this, if you can leave it open for awhile, this may help it long term.
