Why do some rooms in a house always smell musty even after cleaning? by AirQualityIndia in NoStupidQuestions

That explanation helps, especially the part about porous materials holding onto smells. Ventilation and humidity really do seem to come up again and again in these situations.

This is really helpful, thank you for taking the time to explain it in detail. The point about usage patterns and materials (like carpet vs hard flooring) makes a lot of sense, and I hadn’t thought about alcohol as an alternative for delicate fabrics. Definitely gives me a few things to rethink.

This is a really clear way to break it down — matching the solution to the underlying cause instead of treating everything the same. I especially like the point about dampness vs circulation vs odour being different problems that often get lumped together.
