A musty smell in the house is common. To stop it from bothering you, use the advice in this article.
Do a general cleaning
General cleaning is probably the easiest way to find and eliminate the causes of a musty smell. It can be spoiled food from the refrigerator, an old rag or other unnecessary garbage.
The floor can be washed with water, vinegar and essential oil. Then check the ventilation and the operation of the devices.
Remember that air fresheners and fragrances only mask the smell, but do not eliminate its cause, so do not overuse them.
Re-glue the wallpaper
If you can’t get rid of the problem, you’ll have to deal with the wallpaper: perhaps it’s so saturated with the musty smell that it’s become its source.
Washable wallpaper can be treated with a solution of water and vinegar, while paper wallpaper will have to be re-glued.
Check the ventilation
Because the bathroom is a place where moisture tends to accumulate, it is here that musty odors most often appear.
To eliminate it, you will have to check the ventilation, install a heated towel rail and forced ventilation in the room.
