maybe try cleaning it with murphy's oil soap and then put some cedar chips in it. Good luck.
I had the same problem!! but with a wooden dresser. I used wood cedar chips and they seemed to help alot. Just fill the box with the chips and they should help!
Try some baking soda.
I get alot of antique wood furniture and it often has a foul smell. What I find works best is the scented sachet bags you find at local country stores. I use Eucalyptis, and in a matter of days, it overpowers the smell of whatever was there before. :) Good luck!
Baking soda. good old Arm and Hammer. Sprinkle it all over the inside of the box and top of the lid. If you can, flip the box on all sides with the lid closed to help distribute it on all surfaces. Let it be overnight or so. Then vacuum it out. This should do the trick. Then go to the grocery store and buy one of those Arm and Hammer stick ups that are made for the fridge. Place it in the box for maintenence.
Try sitting a small container of vinegar in it...
