# How to Remove the Smell of Cedar Wood in Clothing
Clothing that is stored in drawers or chests made of cedar tends to absorb the scent of the cedar over time. Sometimes clothes pick up cedar smells because a cedar chip was used in a storage container to ward off insects. Regular washing alone often does not eliminate this strong odor. Remedy the smell of cedar on your clothing items by using a natural, inexpensive odor-neutralizing product that you may already have right in your home.
