    Mildew odor coming from the kitchen sink
    There is an mildew odor coming from the kitchen sink. I have tried putting baking soda, lemons and bleach down it but nothing has worked. It seems like it is mainly coming from the garbage disposal side of the sink. On some days it is stronger than others, but now I have to keep the drain caps on both sides in order to keep the smell out.

    Please Help!!

    Thanks

    Dump a few large pans of boiling water down the disposal followed by bleach followed by a quartered lemmon. Let me know. Tom

Musky odor coming from heat vents [ 1 Answers ]

We installed a humidifier to our furnace in February. Could it be causing the musky odor that we periodically get from the vents? What is funny about it is that the smell is not there 24/7 and when it is present it comes more from one or two vents only. If that makes any sense.
