Musty Smell

[Musictv2019]

This musty smell first started in May and then disappeared only to return last night it makes me feel sick and I don't know why it's here and it seems strange that it's reappeared after months I don't know what to do about it has anyone got any suggestions I should also add that the smell sticks in my nose.

Shower and wash your clothes more often.

Then give your nose an enema

[Musictv2019]

Thanks for the advice I don't know what an enema is as I've never heard of it.

[emmie]

an enema is what they give you in hospital to stick up your backside..

[emmie]

to clear you out before an op, sorry to be so graphic

[bobbinwales]

You might of had Corona virus as that can make you loose the sense of smell for awhile

[Musictv2019]

My sense of smell has always been very strong and has never left it's the smell of must that disappeared.

[Theland]

Mould?

[ummmm]

Is it all over the house or worse in some rooms?

[mallyh]

do you have a lot of old books they can smell musty .also clothing etc if left can .i use vacuum closing bags to store things in .

[Old_Geezer]

So it occurs when the temperature is neither too cold nor too hot, spring & autumn. Nothing getting under your floorboards, is there ?

[bhg481]

Do you have gas in the house? It could be you have a small leak or the fumes from your boiler are leaking into the house.

bobinwales, The correct grammar is: you might HAVE had corona virus, not, you might OF had. This type of use of the English language is what dilutes it for the worst. I know. You're in wales. Not England.

[Old_Geezer]

I understand but I think grammar correction is frowned upon here. Considered unfriendly rather than helping.

[10ClarionSt]

In answer to the OP, as OG says, check under your floor boards. Might be an ingress of water.

[Musictv2019]

I think that my bedroom needs to be tidied yes I have a lot of books and magazines on the floor but I have a system I can't out them onto a bookshelf until I've read them and I have clothes all over the floor.

[Tilly2]

You need to re-think your 'system.' Have a good bash at clearing up.

[Musictv2019]

It will have to wait as I need help and my family are working.

[mallyh]

are you disabled or had a lot of birthdays if so could you get help from help the aged etc

[douglas9401]

In no particular order, open a window, put all used dishes in the sink, bin all those tissues, pick up the clothes and have a hot shower, not forgetting your feet.

Is it just in your bedroom then? What about the rest of your family. Do they smell it as well?
