How to keep a walk-in closet smelling fresh (attic access creates heat and it smells dusty)

[Anonymous]

I hope someone here can help me out. My master bedroom closet has attic access which creates heat and a dusty smell. We have hardwood floors, don't stuff our closet full, and I vacuum in there several times a week.

Any ideas for keeping a closet fresh smelling and dust free? TIA.

Of course I wash my clothes. It's the musty air coming in From the attic that is the problem. Also, no air circulation in there. Plus it's hot and humid in the summer.

We had a handyman install an attic fan when we first moved into this house, but I always questioned if it ever worked. I never saw the fan. I have no intention of going into our attic.

Insulate the attic door and use foam strips to seal it

We just keep the door open and use some cedar chips.
