The first step to getting a musty smell out of a closed up house is to open the windows. You will also want to burn some candles. Spraying Lysol will also help get rid of the musty smell.

The soil under my house has a fuzzy look to it where it is undisturbed. It also has a musty smell to it.Any ideas?

The fuzzy look and musty smell are descriptors of mold. Since the soil is under your house where there is no light the moist areas underneath may be growing mold. Check to see if you have any areas underneath your house that are dripping water on to that particular spot or if you have any piping running underneath that area that has begun leaking. To get ride of the mold/smell one of the more environmentally friendly ways would be to use lime which is available at most gardening stores. Try working it into the soil in that area and see if it helps. Just working up the soil may help as well.

Is it a musty smell? What that smell is, is condensation that has built up in the heater box evaporator, then you turn on the heat or a/c and it smells musty. the dealer can peformed a ultra sonic cleaning of the evap for you to help with the smell. A good way to help this issues is to use higher blower speed settings, and also to use the 'REST' function when you leave the car, this leaves the blower motor on at a slow speed and can help eliminate the moisture build up. Hope that helps
