*** Care of Cedar Chests - Cedar Wardrobe Closets - Cedar Outdoor Furniture ***

Why these Chests and Closets Work so Well Eastern red cedar (Juniperus Virginiana) does not repel moths or beetles from its odors. Tis is an old wives tale! The wood is resistant to insects but the odor doesn't act as a repellant.

Don't throw or give away your cedar chests quite yet! The cedar chests and closets do work great; but only because they are air tight, since the gasket on the lid and joints are very snug. Therefore, if your cedar chest has a loose seal, it stands to reason you will not be adequately protected from any insects.

Other Tips

Do not finish cedar with varnish, it will reduce the cedar smell.

To restore the cedar scent, just sand the surfaces lightly with 150-grit sandpaper.

Do not dry chests and closets over 80 degrees F. This will greatly reduce or destroy the cedar odor permanently.
