My room smells musty and stuffy!?

Question

I am a clean person, but my room constantlly smells musty and stuffy. I have to have a window open all the time. Is there anything that can make my room smell fresh without the window open? Also i have a few electrical appliances in my room like TV, Computer, Sky TV box, DVD player etc.... would this have anything to do with it?

Answer 1

Check for mold and if you find any wash the walls with a bleach and water solution.

I had a problem with that in my bedroom too and one day when I was in the room and the sun was shining in a certain way I discovered that dust was clinging to all my vertical surfaces. I always swept and mopped (hardwood floors) and dusted everything. Now I use extension wands on my vacuum cleaner and I vacuum the sides of all the furniture in the room and the walls. Also, those electronic devices are dust magnets. I think it has to do with static electricity attracting the dust. I would advise cleaning everything including the walls. The difference in our bedroom is amazing. Also, pull your bed out from the wall and vacuum where it was. Vacuuming under the bed without moving it doesn't get all the dust. Window sills, trim around windows and doors, tops of baseboards if you have them. I know it sounds like a long list! If you can get your hands on a canister vac it's great. I just run different attachments over all these things and the walls. Our house gets dusty fast, so I do this about twice a month. I clean houses and I've noticed that most other houses don't get as dusty so quickly, so you may not have to do it often. Good luck!

Electronics can impart an unmistakable odor. It almost smells like ozone. The musty smell could be from a mold problem. Check to see if you have water seeping into your walls. Or maybe your room is directly above a damp part of your basement. I know someone who lives in a converted garage. There's a musty odor there because his apartment is on a concrete slab. He burns scented candles and incense.

Answer 5

White vinegar is a great odor absorber. Just pour some in a cup and let it sit out for a day or two then pour it out. Just don't drink it by mistake and note that at first you might think it smells a little like pickles.

Answer 6

You can buy this canister from glade and you put this can of deodorizer in it and you can control how many sprays like 8 min to 38 minutes. It is really great/ Else you could get frebreeze or put a saucer of vinegar set in your room....Good Luck.

Answer 7

spray your certans with febreez and open a box of baking soda and sprinkle some on your floor/carpet in the corners and in your windows and then just keep it in your room on a table or in a place that can really get the orders out of your room.

Answer 8

Let the Sun light come into the room. If that can't happen, then try to keep the air in your room "dry". I don't know if there are dehumidifiers that are sized for a room.

Answer 9

Has the carpet in your room gotten wet,your description describes a moldy smell.

Answer 10

too much moisture. Avoid beverages inthe room till it dries. Quit the wanking, taht can add to the smell. Finally, get some febreeze, it's amazing.
