You can put charcoal briquettes or a box of baking in the closed area after you're done to absorb any other smell that will arise in the future. Installing a dehumidifier or an electric air vent fan will discourage moisture from collecting in that area and encourage the air to move around. As a final touch, use an air freshener spray or Fabreeze to bring back a fresh smell in to the closed area that previously smelled like mildew.

Your house smell like mildew how do you get rid of the smell i tried febreeze and carpet fresh nothing helps. i also cleaned the carpet please help?

you must find the mildew or mold source first- you can't get rid of the smell if you don't know where it is coming from- if it's drywall i have inserted a ehow link- http://www.ehow.com/how_2056875_eliminate-mold-from-drywall.html you may need prfeesional help if you cannot locate it yourself- check for water damage and go from there Suggest you find where the mildew is located and remove it. One place to check is the A/C drip pan and the A/C ducts. If in A/C Ducts, need to clean or replace them. Also, look on line for mold and mildew remediation techniques.
