Hi, My mother has recently given to me a trunk that belonged to my 2nd great grandmother. I'm not sure about the age but I'm guessing mid to late 1800's. It had been stored in my grandmother's attic for years and then moved out to the shed. It's really dirty!!! How can I clean it? It has some kind of paper lining the whole inside and it looks like some kind of paper covering the outside too. I tried just a damp cloth but the paper started to come off. What's the best way to clean it? Also, there is a really bad musty smell that I can't seem to get rid of. I'm scared to use any kind of bleach on it. I don't want to do anything that will destroy the value as an antique. Thanks, Vicki Hurley
