Good information! We are remodeling a finished basement that we don't use as much...and musty smells were a concern. Thanks!
Good info every new home owner etc should watch this
The most helpful information I have found! Thank you!
THIS VID HAS BLESSED ME OMG THANKSSSSSS
thank you, very informative!!!
1 week at my new place and my apartment storage smells. I will try these suggestions. I'm hoping it's just poor ventilation.
Brilliant thanks 👍
Thank you for sharing
My problem is condensation , but thankfully it's not my owned home it's where I'm renting , 🤦🏻♀️some people are so quick in wanting cash that they just build without truly securing the place making sure nothing like this happens ,how I know it's not a mistake? My landlord house is next door and it's fully equipped with everything to prevent any mold or damages ,heck even a fire extinguisher they got
Nice...thanks
Do you still have this PDF about getting rid of all odors? Thank you
thank you for sharing this info. I have a musty smell on my bathroom, and change the waxring on the toilet, smell still there, but not as bad as before :(
I had mold in my basement due to severe leak I had during the last's years winter. I had a company water proofing my basement and installing dehumidifier. The basement is completely dry and the smell is gone , at least for the most part of the year. However , when the house is closed with no ventilation even if it's for a couple of hours , there's a musty smell build-up and the longer it stays closed , the smells gets more severe. What could be the issue ? Thanks.
Hi, i am staying at a rental in a new building (i am the first tenant) and i would smell a gust of odor for a time and then it’ll be gone. I’ve still yet to identify the time and exact spot where it may be coming from (i am unable to tell what the source is but it’s usually concentrated in one area wc is pretty large then is gone when i take a step away from that spot, it’s hard to investigate). I also have a hard time having maintenance folks over because the smell is inconsistent (it’s there then it’s not and i have not identified a pattern yet) but i smell it daily. I am really having a hard time dealing with this. Would you know what the potential cause is? It’s not the bathroom nor the kitchen (the smell is in the general area of the kitchen but when i move closer to the drains or under the sink, the smell isnt there)
Sorry for the long comment; am just really struggling w this and will need all the help i can get. 😅 thank youuuu

Hello! Link isn't working. Can you please upload again? Thanks!
Iv got a weird odour smell in my room. I cleaned everything still doesn't go away. I used incense, I burned fragrance, I used air purifier. Still here
You may want to get professional to get it clear. I’m in my new house and I smell it and it’s giving me headaches, trouble in breathing, and not being able to focus due to the smell.
@@mytravls same, but I researched and my problem is my fireplace, cracks and letting air in causing moisture, the smell is so musty it’s driving me crazy
@@ms.rolltide256 you got me thinking too, I did suspect the fireplace in my gone fir extra dirt. I should get that checked. O
@@auk1441 yeah, after an ER visit due to heaviness. I’ve been fine. Doctor diagnosed dust mites. Thankfully, no major issues but my home gets lots of dust and draught.
In my case, earlier the contractor peed and never flushed it right. Or may be the home had been closed foe a long time so whe n I moved in all the gases came up.
I have this too and I woke up one morning with it what do I do?
Good info. Something is wrong with Your link doesn't work .
I have a musty smell in my basement. I run the dehumidifier, it fills, and I empty it. It keeps filling and I repeat the process. Meaning, I don't seem to get to a point where the dehumidifier doesn't fill up. Does this sound like a humidity issue that's causing the smell? The basement is bone dry, never any water on the floor. Is there something else that I should check? Thanks in advance.....
I had this issue when my dehumidifier could not cover the whole basement. So it depends on how much sqft coverage can the dehumidifier cover. Do you happen to have a crawl space in addition to your basement? This could cause for the fast fill-up of that moisture in your dehumidifier.
Great video! Put an offer on a home but it has a leaking skylight with mold in the attic. Not even sure I want to buy the home now
Kristy Marie DONT!!
Анна Рихтер really? You think we should make the seller fix it?
Kristy Marie well we had a skylight also and it was leaking but we didn’t know (that was after we bought it and signed) that cost us 2k $. I definitely say make them fix it and be there!!!! Do not buy a house if you think there is mold!
Анна Рихтер ok they won’t fix it they said so we have to move on now. Thank you you are right more headache
@@kristymarie6065 nice
Thank u for this i just figured out my problem with this. I leave my closets closed doors closed windows closed and I don't ventilate the bathroom and I have one built in. Thank u so much I am gonna start working on this now. I am in New York so its cold but I will still keep my windows open for a bit so it can clear the air. Thank u so much
Jw has this helped your situation any?
It's always the basements that will have smell or odors but in my room I have my mattress on the floor and I smell it :( it's making me feel uncomfortable.
I have litle bit wet walls and i have bad smell in my house all our clothes smell bad the leather sofa smell bad as well do i have mould under csrpet? Please help
Hello 👋 I don’t know if you have mould but you definitely have too much moisture/ condensation. You need to get a dehumidifier as they suck out the moisture from the room. And open the windows everyday and put the heating on sometimes to dry out the room
🙏✨
I have air purifier in master .and when i have on , odor is away when i turned off start odor again.

I had a pipe bust in December of 22 in my attic and house was cleaned and dried house has not been repaired yet waiting on a contractor but when I go inside the house it smell like mold after awhile I got to get out the house it never smelled like that before the pipe bust.
I have exactly the same issue , only with an incident of leak and mold in my basement. It was resolved and cleared but the smell inside the house stayed.
I dont have ventilation fan in my bath ..i have a regular AC ventilation
How about musty odor on body ?
My upstairs smells ok but I know I have a humidity issue in my basement. I have a dehumidifier in the basement. I empty 1 bucket a day. What else can I use? Lmk
Dehumidifier is really going to be your best friend but it may make sense to invest in one with a house you can tie into a drain if you have one somewhere in the basement so you don't have to keep emptying it
I have a smell I can't get rid of I know I have had a lot of leaks
The house that I'm renting smells like mothballs! 😢 I hate it and literally got depressed from the smell

I have mold in my bedroom do dehumifers kill mold spores or do they just stop new mold forming and appearing and also are dehumifers worth using and do they work.also are small dehumifers ideal for a small bedroom I have small bedroom and i use mini moisture traps wardrobe dehumifers and small dehumifers.also does opening windows and bedroom door get air in room and stop the mold from tara
dehumidifier only gets rid of humidity in the room it will not remove mold. If you have no mold, it prevents mold from growing. dehumidifier package tells what size will be good for your room. How do you know that you have mold? have you done air quality test? it cost $500 to $700. If you have visible mold, it needs to be properly removed.
@@paubender5656 ok but will dehumifers stop visible mold from spreading and getting worse
I have visible mold does using dehumifer stop mold spreading and getting worse
Can mold smell like paint

zero benefit from this video.
damp is a smell that disgusts me no end I smelt it in a restaurant and chucked our dinner. Have no washing machine and I can't eat in the kitchen I'm an athlete and I jusr can't stand the smell. I'm going to try use a neighbours machine or get hand wash. One ignoramus told me go to my parents. I pay rent and my parents have a right to their own space. I need a diet why now. Sigh.
