Should I throw this out?
A very well made medium size cloth suitcase. It is a few years old, it is heavier than the newer ones. While stored in my basement it picked up that "basement smell." Not sure if there is a way to get that smell out or if it is worth the trouble. It was given to me.

If it's in usable condition then save it. Put some poperie in it and re-store it.

Spray it with a solution of one part vinegar and two parts water it will take the odor out.

I always used my suitcases to store my blankets when they weren't in use. you could always use it like a Foot Locker.

potpourri is good, but baking soda's more efficient!! place newspaper inside, then cover with baking soda......this of course is when it's laying down flat........then close it and check the smell every day; it might take a few days and some changes of baking soda, but baking soda is known to absorb odors........I've also heard you can put coffee grounds......not used!! inside and it'll do the same thing.....but the baking soda I'm sure of......and besides, would you want your suitcase to smell like potpouri!!! at least baking soda's a neutral scent!!

thats up to you

surely you can buy a spray for that.....maybe use a shoe odour spray ..or put it in the sunshine for a while may help also ..
