mushroom salt shaker

[moosebison.livejournal.com]

The other day I was given a hand made salt shaker that looks like a mushroom. It is the biggest salt shaker I've ever seen. Problem is, I don't want to use it because it smells really musty inside. I've tryed washing it really, really good, soaking the whole thing in a blaech and water solution, a vinegar and water solution and as I type this, it is in a baking soda and water solution. I was thinking of trying dry coffee grounds next. Does anyone have any other ideas?
