Smells like mildew...
We have a spare bathroom- which is never used... (seriously we've lived here for 2 yrs and have never taken a shower in their- and the only time the toliet gets used is by guests)
However I clean it weekly like I do my other bathroom (which gets used regularly) Im beyond a clean freak... so when I say cleaned- I mean every nuk and crany gets scrubbed...
Since we have lived here the bathroom has always had a scent to it... Usually no one else can smell it and everyone thinks Im crazy...
Today a friend noticed it and is convinced its mildew... we both looked high and low for the "sight" of it... however couldnt find any traces... I am now convinved there is mildew in the walls or something...
How do I go about this? I rent- so do I call my maintenance and say I smell mildew??? Is there anything i can do- to try and fix it myself???
It seems whenever the person above or next to me showers...the scent is much stronger than usual...

Re: Smells like mildew...
Is there a fan in the bathroom?
If so, open the fan and see if there is a collection of dust and moisture that needs to be cleaned out. This is what happened to us and once we cleaned the exhaust and fan, things were fine.

Re: Smells like mildew...
Also look in the toilet tank and maybe get one of those things you leave in the tank to make it smell good. Get one with bleACH.
