How do I get rid of a musty smell?
You probably should run a dehumidifier from spring through fall, 24 hrs. a day. You do need to find the source of the moisture and start from there.
Is it a musty smell or a moldy smell? Sometimes a bowl of white vinegar in the offending might take care of it.
Place large humidifier buckets in all rooms. You can buy them at Lowe's& Home Depot for $10. I keep them in my closets too.
