Hello Jurni. Charcoal works good on eliminating bad smells. But it takes time. Place the charcoal on a plate and put it in your basement. It may take a week or more to be effective.
Clean up anything that is causing odors such as a pet waste. A dehumidifier helps if it's caused by dampness. We had something die in our attic a few years ago and couldn't find it. I bought a product called Odor Sponge and that took care of the smell.
Buy some Damp rid, it absorbs Excess Moisture In The Air Naturally And Eliminates Stale, Musty Odors. Attract & Trap Excess Moisture & Prevent Musty Odors From Damaging Your Belongings.
Since this is the basement it suggests dampness or mold/mildew. Throw out anything that has an off smell to it, or clean it and air dry if you need to salvage.
To keep dampness down, get a dehumidifier and use Damp Rid, I prefer the bag system that catches the water rather then the container, I am clumsy and it is no fun to clean up a tipped over chemical water. You can also monitor the level of humidity down there with a meter, Walmart and diy stores have them, not expensive.
Hu Jurni, hope this helps you out. This has a lot of very good information for you, first you really want to locate the sour e of the odor if possible.

Use Vinigar and put some amonia in it with some water and dawn soap and clean it nicely. It will go away instantly. Hope it helps!
