Ercol Furniture

[CSG2306]

I recently bought 2 Ercol Wall Units and a sideboard. There is a perfume type of smell coming from the interior of all the furniture.

Can anyone advise on a method of eliminating this smell.

Thanking you in anticipation.

I was the Ercol sales Consultant in The House of Fraser Cardiff back in 1978 - 1981, never noticed such a smell, which is it the light the medium or the colonial finish?

Ercol used to be finished with polished beeswax - is that the smell?

Vinegar seems to be the the answer to a lot of problems: a light wash will do no harm.
