Comments on How to Remove Musty Basement Smell

I found that if you put a 1/2 cup to 1 cup of white vinegar in 2 opposite corners of your room (on the floor, maybe under a table or behind a piece of furniture where it is not noticeable)it will take the odor out within 24 hours. Do this once a week or as needed due to evaporation. I live in a tri-level colonial and my family room is on the bottom floor. I have no basement under my family room...It's just wall to wall carpeting. Under that, there's concrete and under that, there's SOIL! The only time my family room is not damp or "mildewy" is in the winter when I use my fireplace.
