[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op here. I also forgot to mention that my walls smell amazing! I feel like I just hit the lottery. This will be my new go to. I left a few weeks ago and came back home to a house that didn’t smell fresh. It wasn’t the first time. 
I will be leaving in a few days and can’t wait to see if I come back to that same stinky smell or if perhaps taking the time to clean the walls have helped!

I don’t know but I fully believed my house smelled bad all the time and I could only smell it when I’d been away, but then we went away and had a house sitter and when we came back the house smelled normal/clean. So I think when a house is shut up and empty it can just smell stale. The house sitter didn’t do any out of the ordinary cleaning. [/quote]

Op here. I think you may be right. I am less than a week post wall cleaning and just came back from a trip and sure enough, my house had that same old stale odor. [/quote]

Did you leave your air and dehumidifier on?

Depending on where you live it can make a huge difference. Leave the thermostat set at about 77 in the summer, so you make sure the air will circulate, and a few degrees lower/higher in other seasons.

So in the winter keep it at 50-65 if you think the house would drop to 40 without heat.

I do this and can always smell the paint when we return. [/quote]
