Cleaning it should do the trick. Wipe down every square inch. The underside, the legs, all of it. If the material is metal, plastic or Formica, use spic and span, If it is wood, use Murphy’s Oil Soap. If upholstered material, use a shampooer, Woolite upholstery shampoo in a spray can works really well. Let it dry out real well before using.
Fill a spritzer bottle with white vinegar and spray the furniture with this. Let dry. I don’t think this will give the furniture a “new smell”, but it will make it have no smell at all. If you want a “new smell”, you might go to a car wash and buy a bottle of “new car smell”.
Good luck.

It shouldn’t smell, even if it’s old and used. There must be something else going on, more specifically fungus. This may be the case if you have solid wood furniture. If not, this is unlikely (unless it has been in contact with water lately) and you should seek professional advice.
Until then, here’s what you can do:
– air. There’s nothing as effective and discreet as air. Put your office furniture in a place where there’s plenty of air. It will take time until you notice differences, but this is a very good solution if you plan on keeping it for the years to come.
– clean it thoroughly with water. Wipe it with a clean cloth (no detergents needed), and pay attention to leave no surface untouched. Then use a dry cloth to make sure you don’t leave water behind.
– If it’s fungi, you need both dry air (they don’t survive in dry environments) and chemicals.
Hope this helps,
