The top teak drawer I use for silverware is really stinky. It has that "old furniture" type odor that I can't seem to get out. The stainless silverware that lives in it smells like it even after going through the dishwasher a few times. I can smell with the drawer gets open from the helm even.
Any ideas on how to eliminate the oder? Everything I read online seems to point to "dampen with vinegar and let dry" which I doubt would compete with a hot dishwasher cycle which didn't work.
The only option I can think of that might do it would be to find an exact replacement drawer in a boat graveyard somewhere. The other drawer seems to not smell as bad (probably just infused from the top shelf) and the tilt-out bottom drawer seems fine.
