How To Identify And Combat Musty Odours In Your Home

Musty odours aren’t random—they’re usually a sign of excess moisture and possible mould growth. The first step is identifying the source, which is often found in damp areas like bathrooms, basements, carpets, or inside cupboards. Check for leaks, poor ventilation, or trapped humidity, as these conditions allow odours to develop.

Once located, clean affected surfaces using a mix of vinegar and water or a suitable mould cleaner. Wash fabrics, curtains, and soft furnishings that may have absorbed the smell. Improve airflow by opening windows, using exhaust fans, or running a dehumidifier to reduce moisture levels.
