Even the newest apartment with perfect cleaning is not immune to the appearance of an unpleasant musty smell.
It is caused by various reasons that need to be understood.
Understanding what is the source of the musty smell in your apartment will help you quickly get rid of the problem.
Causes of mustiness
The following factors contribute to the appearance of mustiness in an apartment:
- the appearance of a water plug in the pipes;
- incorrect installation of the siphon;
- accumulation of fat and dirt at the bottom of the siphon.
In the latter case, you can deal with the problem yourself. To do this, you will need to unscrew the siphon and clean it thoroughly.
And in order to completely get rid of the rotten smell, there is a proven combination of folk remedies that are in every home.
Take coarse salt, baking soda and table vinegar in a ratio of 1:1:2.
Mix the ingredients together, pour into the drain and leave for 15 minutes. All that remains after this is to flush the drain with hot water.
Two of the most powerful natural flavors, coffee and lemon, can also help combat musty odors.
