How do you get rid of a musty smell in the house?
We have a 1938 two-story colonial cream city brick home. We bought the house over 35 years ago, but we cannot get rid of this “musty” pungent smell. It has permeated on our clothes and belongings and we take it with us everywhere we go. What can we do? We have tried several things over the years: pulling up carpeting, reinsulating the walls, checking plumbing, using air filters, etc. Nothing seems to work. What else can we do???
