An unpleasant musty smell may appear in the closet due to the abundance of things that are sometimes stored unwashed.
The reason may also be poor ventilation in the room. Masking the musty smell with air fresheners is not the best idea. This will not solve the problem.
Knowing one simple trick, even a child can solve the problem that has arisen, and after a day, only unpleasant memories will remain about the smell.
What to put in the closet
As already mentioned, the main cause of a musty smell is poor ventilation.
Then bad habits come into play – rarely washing clothes or storing undried shoes, and even without boxes, if we are talking about a wardrobe.
In this case, even if the closet has no doors at all, the unpleasant smell will not take long to appear.
To deal with the problem, you first need to eliminate the source, and the items will have to be rewashed or dry cleaned.
After this, you can begin to combat the smell.
It is enough to spread a few pieces of chalk on the shelves or on the floor. In just 24 hours it will absorb the unpleasant smell.
Chalk can even be used in kitchen cabinets, shoe shelves, and bathrooms.
Along with the smell, it absorbs excess moisture, thereby reducing the risk of mold.
All that remains is to periodically renew the chalk supply.
