Does Your Home Have a Musty, Mildew Smell?

If you’ve ever walked into a musty garage or dank basement and felt like you’ve been punched in the nose with a damp or dirty-sock-like smell, there’s a chance its mold or mildew.

Often found in damp environments where mold spores thrive, mold and mildew can grow in the right conditions in as little as 24 hours — some people say it smells like rotting wood. That’s why it’s best to hustle if you catch a whiff in your gym bag or basement.

Find the root of the problem

It’s not always easy to pinpoint the smell of mold, so if it’s not something obvious like your gym bag, look for leaks.

Water damage and the discoloration of drywall or ceilings is a good indicator where moisture could enter and cause the issue. If it looks like serious damage, you might want to call a professional — just remember to get a few quotes before pulling the trigger on work. But if it’s something like windowsills, which is a mold common spot, you can probably take care of that yourself.

Consider using fans to circulate the air or use a dehumidifier to suck up moisture to start the odor removal process.

Purify the air

Did you know Gonzo Natural Magic Odor Eliminator can eliminate the musty smells associated with mold and mildew? Loaded with porous volcanic minerals, these environmentally safe rocks purify the air and are safe to use around pets and children. From basements and closets to kitchens and cars, Gonzo Natural Magic Odor Eliminator can be hung up in any room or placed under furniture and still be completely effective at removing musty odors.

When opposites attract

Odors have a positive charge. The volcanic minerals in this bag carry a negative charge. That attracts odors to the bag like a magnet, allowing the volcanic minerals to absorb and cleanse unwelcome funk.

Get started

Place your bag in a problem area and wait 4-6 hours for the bad smells to start dissipating. The volcanic rocks don’t just mask odors, they purify the air with pores that trap odors to improve the air quality in your space.

A reusable odor eliminator

There’s a lot to love about Gonzo Natural Magic Odor Eliminator, but one of our favorite qualities is its reusability. One bag works as a musty smell remover for 6-12 months. To recharge the bag after that time, place it in direct sunlight for six hours. The bag will then be ready to go and help you remove more odors from your home.
