Removing musty odor
I have a one-room building out back that's been closed up for a long
time and has taken on that characeristic musty odor that storage facilities sometimes get. I've tried a window fan, but as soon as the fan gets turned off, the odor is back. Would one of those ionic air cleaners solve the problem? Thanks. |

I have friends who have used this method and swear by it ... never tried it myself. Not sure what they do ... absorb the odor? |

They have industrial ozone machines that should take care of it. They also can take a look around and may spot a problem that you have missed. -- Joseph Meehan Dia 's Muire duit |
