How to get rid of damp smells from your home. The products below will also be effective on boats that have persistent smells in bathrooms and toilets.

To tackle the damp smell caused by flooding/humidity, here are some effective steps:

  1. Remove Standing Water: Use a wet/dry vacuum or pump to eliminate any remaining water. Mop up smaller puddles and dry the area thoroughly.

  2. Dry the Space Completely: Increase ventilation by opening windows and using fans. A dehumidifier can also help reduce moisture levels.

  3. Clean Surfaces: Use a StopOderz pro biotic concentrate which contains a blend of natural bacterial spores (enzymes) and essential oils. This helps kill mold and mildew, which are often the source of the smell.

  4. Clean drains: Apply StopOderz drain foam aerosol to drains in bathrooms and kitchens, the product contains a blend of bacterial spores which are designed to digest organic waste. For best results apply warm water prior to applying the drain foam and leave overnight.
     
  5. Deodorize: Spray carpets and upholstery with StopOderz probiotic and then apply baking soda to the areas, let it sit overnight, and then vacuum it up. StopOderz odour remover bags help clear the air and adsorb malodours. 

  6. Dispose of Damaged Items: Remove and discard items that are beyond salvage, like soaked carpets or furniture.

  7. Prevent Future Issues: Ensure proper ventilation and consider waterproofing measures to avoid recurring dampness.

If the smell persists or the mold is extensive, it might be best to consult a professional for mold remediation.
