I haven't like the plug ins and they smelled stinky when they came out. My boss likes the new ones.
These things permeated the place for me but I recently found Slatkin & Co. It's subtle and doesn't stink up the entire floor. Mine is a plug in with a refill bulb and I just love it. I'm going to try the pineapple, coconut, lemon verbena next.

I would be concerned about mold..that smell comes from something!

yep

You're right. It's a recent occurence, there's no moisture to feel, but I won't be here forever. A lady in another building told me of a real problem that's unhealthy. Wet stuff was coming through the walls onto her husband's clothes and it's white spots. Ugh, gross. These buildings are old and need serious repair.

Everybody says that. I bought a can to spray and it did nothing at all.
These plug ins are great, though.

as they say " something is rotten in Denmark" odors are there for a specfic reason ...cover ups are just that... your treating the symptoms not the cause.... its your health that may just be at stake...

Thanks for what you said. There's a reason behind every behavior, you know. As I said above, I won't be here forever. If everything was to change, the entire complex would be torn down. When it's time, it'll be time to go. Not now, not unbreathable now. Mild now.
Thanks!

Like some said be more concerned where the smell is actually coming from first.

See if you can figure where the smell is actually coming from check behind furniture see if you see any mold on the walls most likely close to the base boards first. Under window sills maybe leaking or ceiling leaks or it could be your carpet. Once you find the source make the apartment manager aware of the issues and see if they will in fact correct it promptly.

Mold is a very serious issue and can make one get very sick matter of fact you can get the spores within your lungs by breathing it in.

This is not and issue I would just cover up but indeed want to find the problem instead. If the apartments do not fix the issue I would in fact turn it in to the health department. They will in fact have someone come out that is very knowledgeable in the field of mold and make sure it is corrected for that is more dangerous then you actually think it is.

i have to admit im addicted to febreze

Thanks so much. This RN is so aware though I don't know everything, for sure. I can't defend it. It's not to that extent that some folks imagine (and I don't own a carpet and clean nooks and crannies as I don't like filth. I understand the point but it won't be solved now. It's minimal. My point was not to bring that out. My point is that a nice scent around the apt. is pleasant to ease certain situations. Certain things cannot be changed until water leakage is apparent, as I took care of that in another place. I take things seriously. I advised someone about her situation and to make it known to the right party to help. When issues need to be explored, I do so. My post is about a nice thing I found. It's winter and windows stay closed here.
Thanks again!
