Old Apartment Mildew Smell traveled via Hair Dryer - help me rid the smell!!
My old apartment smelled like mildew/must/maybe mold - its like a gross, kinda sweet smell. When I moved, I washed all of my clothes and wiped down surfaces. However, a week ago I opened my bathroom cabinets and a whoosh of the smell came out. I realized the smell traveled to my new place via my hair dryer :(
The cabinets under my sink now smell like that familiar smell. So far, I have tried airing it out with the bathroom fan on, putting baking soda down, and having maintenance come scrub it down.
But the smell hasn’t dissipated and now I’m starting to catch whiffs of it when my AC/heat kicks on. I’ve replaced the air filter to one that says it traps mold and allergens, but should I be worried that my bathroom fan has spread this smell to the rest of my apartment? What should I do??
