Monsoons are here, and we all love to enjoy this season with some chai and pakoras by our side. However, the lovely breeze often brings an unpleasant musty smell into our homes.

One of the most common reasons for this odour is the high humidity during the monsoon season. The moisture in the air makes the environment inside your home damp and warm, creating the perfect conditions for fungi and mold to thrive.

4 simple remedies you can try at home to eliminate this annoying smell

Burn Camphor (Kapoor): Light a few pieces of camphor to eliminate fungal growth and unpleasant odours.

Let in Sunlight:  Whenever the sky is clear, allow sunlight to enter your home. Cross ventilation will help to remove the musty smell.

Use White Vinegar: White vinegar is an effective agent against bad odours. Place it in a wide-mouthed bowl in your room, and you'll notice the smell gradually disappear.

Place Salt Bags: Put some sea salt or white salt in cloth bags, seal them, and leave them in the smelly rooms to absorb the odour.
