Get rid of a musty basement smell, with ozone treatment
A musty, damp basement smell is caused by moisture and poor ventilation. An ozone treatment breaks down the odour molecules, treat the empty room and track down the source of the damp.
Sound familiar?
- A musty smell as soon as you go down
- Mould odour in storage areas
- Damp after water damage
How to do it
- Tackle the cause: Remove any visible mould and fix the source of the damp.
- Treatment: Place the unit centrally, close the doors and run it for 60–120 minutes.
- Air out: Air out thoroughly before using the room again.
