Musty smell
 

I just went to my cabin to repair under the cabin where various incidents
and accidents left the insulation, visqueen and chicken wire in great
disarray. We have not used the cabin in a year, and it has been sealed. It
has a musty smell, not of plumbing or p trap odor, but rather of mildewy
clothes. I believe it is from the insulation under the floor, and carpet
getting wet, and some of the wood.

Is there a spray, like PineSol, or the stuff people spray in RVs, or the
stuff people use who have pets that would neutralize this odor. The odor is
not strong. It is not offensive. It's just there.

Suggestions appreciated.

If the insulation/subfloor/joists/carpet have gotten wet, and there's
mold/mildew growing on them, masking the smell will be but a temporary
fix - but you probably already realize that.

Try drowning the area in Listerine or the generic equivalent. It will
kill the mold / mildew which is causing the odor.

Good Luck
