How to remove foul odor from kitchen cabinet?

Landma asked:


I purchased a 12 year old home with custom pine kitchen cabinets in which one set has an unpleasant odor. The surrounding cabinets aren’t as bad. I was told the foul odor in the cabinets was due to the home being closed up and there was no central air. I installed central air, leave the cabinet doors open cleaned the cabinets with bleach and set baking soda on the shelves. Still, two months later, the smell remains.

    Do Away With Nasty, Cupboard Odors
    The first method you should try to remove odor from your cupboards is to place a box of baking soda inside each cabinet. Baking soda will take care of most odor problems. However, if the baking soda does not alleviate the problem, take everything out of your cabinets and wipe down the inside of your cupboards with a heavy mixture of white vinegar and water.

    The vinegar odor will be strong when you are applying it, but when it is dry it will not be noticeable.
