My room smells. What have you used to get rid of smell, musty smells too?
My room smells musty and just nasty. Once you are in the room it smells fine, but right when you open the door it hits you pretty bad. I use several air fresheners and those don't work. I've used a whole bottle of fabric freshener febreeze and now a whole bottle of arm and hammer spray. What can I do? I like my room to smell good even though I'm a guy. I mean I'm really clean, I have to be, I'm in the military. I haven't used carpet poweder yet cuz it didn't work last time I used it a few years ago. Does oust or anything work?

It's 100 degrees outside and bugs will get in even with the screen.
I can't have candles, against the rules.

Well thx guys I'll try some of this stuff. I have nothing laying around that smells. I put dirty clothes in the closet and wash them often. All my linens are cleaned often. Could be the drapes...ugly brown too. Also could be crap in the pipes of the sink now that I think about it....I really think it's the carpet though. I'll try most of these tips thx guys!

Have you tried opening the window during the day? Maybe your room just needs to be aired out. Also try using a fan while your window is open, that way the fan will blow out the stale air. I've done it before, works wonders.
Here's an inexpensive and fragrance free solution that is small but really works fantastic. It is a natural fragrance free carbon product called FRIDGE IT odor absorbers. It is a little purple cube with an incredible activated carbon filter inside that is really, really, great and eliminates the odors and for a long time. It works so much better than baking soda all those sprays, and fragrances that just cover up smells and doesn't get rid of them. Also, alot of sprays have warning statements about being eye irritant. and gels and oils that say keep away from fabric, pets,etc. and just don't eliminate odors. Just put a couple around your room. Each only costs a couple of dollars. I use this product everywhere including car(smoke and pet smells), storage, closets, my fridge and also under sinks, near trash and have friends that use it on cat litter box and also diaper pails - it's that good. I really recommend it. You can buy it in kitchen gadget sections in stores like walmart and linens and things. I also think camping world sells it and Internet at customerservice@innofresh.com. Definitely worth trying

Get the fabreeze air effects that plug into the wall. They have one that is supposed to not only make the room smell good but attack bacteria, its Orange. My sons room always smelled like a foot, and that's what I put in there it works good. Also maybe smell the carpet if you have any, if so may consider steam cleaning it. Carpet can get musty and even mold smell. Don't use the powder carpet stuff, all it does is sink down into the rug and create dust type allergies. Good luck and nothing wrong with being a clean guy
