Dear James: Our bedroom has a cedar closet, but the scent is almost gone, and I plan to build a second cedar closet. How can I restore the scent, and do you have any tips for the new one?—Melanie F.
Dear Melanie: Cedar closets are not as common as they used to be, but they are still effective for deterring moths and the resultant holes in woolen clothes. Most people find the cedar scent to be nostalgic and quite pleasant, but the scent can fade over time.
