How to remove odors from mold or mildew in our apartment?
Question:Odors are mainly in both bathrooms.
Answers:
Clean everything thoroughly with hot soapy water or cleansers designed for the tub/shower/toilet/sink. Don't forget to clean behind the toilet as well. Put a fan in the room to make sure the room gets completely dry. Wash the walls and ceiling with 409 and make sure that you always vent the rooms when using them for showers. You can also buy moisture/odor aborber from your local Home Depot or hardware store and put this under the sinks, in closets etc. It has a pleasant smell and absorbs the moisture and mold smell.
First you need to find the source of the problem and use Tilex Mold and Mildew remover. Then, try airing your house or room out for a few days...after that, you can try keeping a good humidifier running.
Clean everything with bleach, then wash all linens, including the shower curtain with detergent and add baking soda. Sprinkle baking soda on the carpets and allow to sit for an hour, then vacuum. Repeat a second time.
