How to get rid of a funny smell in a mobile home?
Question:i recently purchased a 14 by 70 mobile home trailor home. at first i had to take out all the carpet and vinyl floors because the floors had dog feces embetting in the carpet. the trailor had been vacant for almost a yr so i thought that was just the dog smell.after deciding to take all the insulation out of the walls i found dead roaches and minor mold. so i bleached the aluminum and used lysol and vinegar..still has a musty funny smell. any suggestions?? the mold is gone now and im dealing with a gutted out mobile home what else is there out there?

Sounds like it's time for a match, honey.
you can start with a lot of ventilation,then use alumina instead of bleach for about a week. getting in all the cracks and cornenrs .
There are dog scent removers in most grocery stores now, typically in the cleaning item aisle.
I've always been a big fan of just opening all the windows and doors and setting up a giant fan in one window (facing OUT) to suck all the bad air out and bring in fresh air from outside.
Another option is to mask the odor with something stronger, like burning incense or sage sticks. Just get a few incense sticks or cones going in each "room" and make sure to at least crack the windows open.
Part of the smell might be from mixing up all those chemicals.
