This chest features a high-quality cedar-lined interior, which is highly valued for its natural ability to repel moths, silverfish, and other pests that can damage natural fibers. Beyond pest protection, the aromatic oils in the cedar provide a clean, woodsy scent that keeps seasonal items like wool blankets, sweaters, and heirloom linens smelling fresh without the need for chemical mothballs.

For the natural exterior finish, we recommend regular dusting with a soft, dry cloth to maintain the clarity of the straight grain wood pattern. Based on general furniture care standards, you should avoid harsh chemical cleaners that could damage the finish. To keep the cedar interior effective, the wood should be left untreated; if the scent fades over time, a very light sanding of the interior cedar can reactivate the aromatic protective oils.

In regions with high humidity, such as Florida, Texas, and the Southeast, a cedar chest is particularly effective. Cedar wood naturally helps to regulate moisture and prevents the growth of mildew. By storing your textiles in this cedar-lined environment, you provide a protective barrier that helps prevent clothes from developing a musty odor or becoming damp during more humid months.
