HELP! Bad Smell

HELP!!!!!!!!!

My apartment smells like old people (no offense to anyone).

Any ideas what it could be?

It is coming from the kitchen/foyer/living room area.

Have already checked for old food, garbage, etc. We have not purchased new furniture/carpets/drapes/anything large.

Any ideas??!!!!

Has it been there awhile or is it sudden? If it just appeared there could be a dead mouse in the wall. When I had a work loft in the city we'd occasionally catch a whiff of odor that we determined to be dead mice. It goes away in a couple of days.

ummmm, thanks?! Chat Icon

I am FREAKING OUT.....I have always had this wierd paranoia about dead mice. I will make DH check under everything....we do have a cat and there are cats outside of our buidling so I have never heard of mice in our building. this is soooo gross, I hope I find a sweaty sock or something!!!!

Re: HELP! Bad Smell

is the smell in the hallway?
how close are the apts next to you?
it could be wafting in from another apt.
like a strong mothball or musty smell?
it could just be the humidity making things damp?

could it be the sink drain? pour some baking soda...a little lemon juice down the drain and then about a cup of vinegar and watch it do it's magic.
