The post says 1-3 months you shd change it out. So I’m guessing 1-3 months. However, other commenters say it lasts much less. < a month.

Is it possible that you have some water damage? Those can be very smelly. A leak going on causing mold growth can be dangerous to your health as well as the structure of your home. Do you ever feel sick while you’re there and a few days after you leave?
I hope that’s not it. But if it is, at least you have an answer. Have you had anyone inspect your home? A home inspector (they inspect for damage before the sale) can do this for you.
Good luck!

What does the cheesecloth do? I had tried it in a glass & though it kept bad smells away, it didn’t deodorise as such…

Melissa, 5 years ago my husband and I purchased a home on Cape Cod. After awhile we noticed a musty odor in the house. We have painted every square inch of the house, cleaned the hardwood floors and carpets professionally but still when we leave to return to our NY home the odor comes with us. When you walk into our Cape house the smell hits you in the face instantly. What, if anything, can we do. Is this too big for baking soda??

I love your videos.

I’ve done this and it does not last more than a couple of days. I suspect the baking soda which absorbs odors does it job as absorbing the essential oils too.

I think the cheesecloth is to keep the contents from shaking out of the cheese shaker when you shake it.

I have heard that essential oils are not good for cats – something to do with their liver not breaking them down etc, and shouldn’t be used around them where they can touch them, or even breathe them in. I’m wondering if you’ve heard this as well and your recommendations
