Mildewed case

[patman]

Does anyone have a way to get a smelly old Fender tweed case to not smell so bad?

Windex got the outside looking good...Resolve got the fabric looking good, but it still stinks

For that matter, so does the guitar, but it's pretty much intact for an old guitar.

Leave it open for a long, long time, basically whenever you are not transporting something with it. That mildew/incense smell will eventually fade away without further ado.

As Uwe said, preferably exposed to direct sunlight as much as possible.

I had a case where it was really pungent - it nauseously filled the room when you opened it and the bass stank of it for more than a year (and it never went back into the case, but was open air in a stand, it had the stench sucked up in its fin). But after about two years it was gone in the case too.
