Scrub with white vinegar, then sprinkle with bicarb whilst still damp. Hoover out when bicarb is dry.

My cases smell a bit. I intend to pack things with tumble dryer sheets between each layer.

I thought about tumble drier sheets, but then they say a good smell on top of a bad smell will only make it wose.

The bicarb will soak up the vinegary smell
