1. Causes of smelly bedrooms
Due to the smell of wall paint in the bedroom
A newly painted bedroom or a damp wall can emit unpleasant and unhealthy chemical odors. It is advisable to wait for the smell to dissipate before using the room. During the rainy season, rainwater can seep through the walls and cause a musty odor in your bedroom. It is recommended to choose a paint with strong water-resistant properties and patch up any holes in the walls.
Due to insects and mice
Insects and mice are attracted to warm and secluded places, including bedrooms. It is important to use traps and repellents to keep them out of your room.
Due to cigarette smoke
In a closed space like a bedroom, smoking can leave a lingering unpleasant smell that can cause moisture and mold. It is best to quit smoking to protect your health and the health of your family.
