Remove drain traps under sinks and clean them thoroughly. Clean pop-up drain plugs. Inspect the linkage for pop-up drains
to make sure they are set properly. To adjust the linkage, squeeze the finger-operated pressure lock to release it and slide
it up or down as necessary.
Inspect grout and caulk around tubs, sinks and showers. Chip out cracked grout and replace missing grout. Stained, discolored
and mildewed caulk should be cleaned with trisodium phosphate or other household cleaner. If the caulk remains discolored,
remove it and replace it with fresh, mildew-resistant caulk.
Refinish furniture in a heated garage or workspace equipped with ventilation fans. Otherwise, use water-based strippers,
paints, stains and varnishes that are especially formulated for low odors.
Musty closet odors can be reduced or eliminated by removing the closet's contents and washing walls with a diluted solution
of chlorine bleach. In addition, try replacing solid doors with louvered doors. Note: If the mustiness is the result of moisture,
find the source and correct it. Otherwise the problem will come back. Learn more about preventing mold and mildew...
To keep valves from sticking and check for leaks, turn all water valves off and on. This includes outdoor faucets and
valves to toilets, bathroom and kitchen sinks, laundry, bar, etc.
