      During the monsoon season, the increased humidity often leads to a musty smell in homes due to dampness and the growth of mold and mildew. This unpleasant odour can permeate clothing, furniture, and even the walls. This aggravating musty smell inside our homes makes our indoors unpleasant.

      4 best remedies to get rid of the musty smell during monsoons

      1. Burn a few pieces of camphor to get rid of the fungal infestation and smell.

      2. Let sunlight enter as much as possible and allow cross ventilation

      3. Keep white vinegar in a wide-mouthed bowl inside your room and the odour will vanish

      4. Place some pieces of sea salt or white salt in small cloth bags with their mouth closed and leave inside the smelly rooms.

      Using essential oils or scented candles can also help

      Other than this ensure good ventilation by opening windows and using fans to keep air circulating. Dehumidifiers can be highly effective in reducing moisture levels indoors. Regularly clean and dry areas prone to dampness, such as bathrooms and basements, and use natural odor absorbers like baking soda, charcoal, or vinegar. Additionally, using essential oils or scented candles can help mask and eliminate musty odors, keeping your home fresh and pleasant during the rainy season.

      Health precautions to be taken in monsoons

      During the monsoon season, taking preventive measures can help protect your health, home, and belongings from the adverse effects of heavy rains and increased humidity.

      Stay dry: Always carry an umbrella or raincoat to avoid getting drenched, which can prevent common colds and other illnesses.

      Use antifungal powders: Apply antifungal powder to prevent fungal infections, particularly in areas prone to dampness like feet and underarms.

      Drink clean water: Ensure your drinking water is clean and boiled to avoid waterborne diseases.

      Eat fresh food: Consume freshly cooked food and avoid street food, which is more likely to be contaminated during the rainy season.
