Or use charcoal briquets. Make sure they're the kind without lighter fluid added to make them easier to light.

I store my fabric in a wood cupboard and the comic book cardboard bottoms rest on the shelf not the fabric. You could put in acid free shelf lining paper if you were concerned. I think I would try the lifesaver trick first because I love the scent of the wintergreen ones.

We picked up a dresser that my neighbor left on the curb. It is perfect for my stuff. The trick was that she was also given the dresser but did not need it. My hubby who is (bed) bug phobic sprayed the whole think inside and out with a roach/bug kill spray that is all natural and I believe contains tea tree oil. It smelled very strong for a while, but after airing it for couple of weeks it has a mild minty smell. I actually enjoy it. I cannot remember the name of it, but it would definitely take care of all the odors.
