Oooh that smell...
wp34:
I've got an NBA Jam in my garage that stinks. My family does not want it in the basement due to the smell. ;D
This is my first cabinet. Is it common for older cabinets to stink?
THE POKER BRAT:
open it up and see whats inside hiding,..rotting away like an animal that died in there,..y
take it apart and wash it down gently,..a little febreeze will help, if not, then maybe some amonia in a small bucket and to be left inside the machine for a few days will help,.. you really need to give it a good clean bath,....come on man,..use your (instinks)! :laugh2:

Dude forget anything youve ever heard and forget Febreze, it doesnt do anything but cover the stink and then it smells like pretty stink.
My dad Owns a car business and we constantly deal with off road trucks that redefine the meaning of off road.
Some folks like to go hunting and prepare everything right on the spot out in the woods and they never bother to clean up the fresh guts off of themselves or the truck.
And then, they cant make payment and it gets repossesed, and then we buy it...
anyway the best thing to day to get rid of foul or dead anything smell is this stuff called fabuloso.
its purple and comes in about a half gallon bottle, and anything you put it on it literally kills the smell and the germs.
It doesnt at all leave you with the fabuloso on top but somethings still dead feeling.
im not a hunter myself, never will be, but i just know how to clean up an automotive mess.
Z71 reposessions are some of the filthiest of anything that we encouter and buy cause we know they will clean up with the right stuff.
anyways if your old cabinet is experiencing some funky stink you cant seem to get rid of,
my best suggestion after years of soaking horrible trucks and cars with it is purple fabuloso avaiable at dollar general and wal mart.
main thing with a cabinet though is that you dont want to get it too wet or the particleboard will start swelling.
another good piece of advice too is to first clean out any dead animals and / or bugs first before you try the Fabulous.
Octo:
That would really suck if it was mold inside the particle board... do the panels show any signs of warping, like they've soaked up water? You may be replacing some wood in there.

No, that's not how Febreze works at all. It's not an 'air freshener'. The main ingrediant is Cyclodextrin, a sorta Cheerio shaped starch molicule that can effectively trap a smaller smelly molicule inside it and make that molicule too big to affect the human senses. Though technicly the smell is still there it's trapped in something else and can't be detected anymore.
However, I don't think that Febreze could work that effective on wood since you'd need to spray on a hell of a LOT to get it to soak incompletely. It's more for fabrics than anything else. I'd agree with amonia or bleach or something in a case like this. Just of course be sure to ventilate your work space.
