I moved into rented house last year, and no matter what I have tried I can't get rid of a musty smell. I have cleaned carpets, used bicarb soda, and so on. Any ideas anyone?

For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.I would try using a burner or a diffuser and one of the following essential oils,
Eucalyptus citriodora, melissa, or citronella mixed with rosemary . You might need to use it a few hours a day in each room and about an hour afterwards air the room but after a week of so you should get on top of it. You can also damp dust with water with a few drops of each oil . if you use synthetic spray air fresheners they can leave a musty scent after a few hours.

Try cutting 3-4 large onions into quarters and distribute throughout the house. This should quickly neutralise the smell and possibly permanently reduce it. However, by far the most likely cause is too little heating over prolonged periods so you also need to make certain the place is heated. Get a humidity gauge and if the humidity is above 65% increase the heating - and not just for a couple of hours per day, more like permanently.
