A co-worker gave me a bunch of old guitar and mic cables that were in his basement studio that he is trying to clear out. At some point the basement had water damage so everything has that wet basement smell and some of the cables had some serious funk on them. I was able to clean them up so that now they aren't too nasty but they still have a bit of that smell. If the weather was warmer I would put them out in the sun for a while (because I think that helps) but now that that's not an option has anybody dealt with something similar?
I keep some of my bands gig gear in my garage and have had some cables inside a storage bin get a bit smelly too so it would be nice to find a way to prevent this. I wonder if a box of baking soda inside the bin would help?
