Im in the middle of a kitchen refit. It includes converting my under stairs cupboard into a pantry.
6 weeks ago I emptied it of the mountain of junk in there. Cleaned the 70's Marley Tile floor and emulsion the walls.
For the past week a weird smell has been developing in the cupboard . At first I thought it was the paint and started propping the door open overnight after the workmen had gone home.
This week my workmen and I have noticed the smell more as it has become stronger. The gas meter is in the cupboard so Monday they gas people came out and confirmed it's definitely not a gas leak- not that it smells too much like gas tbh.
One of my workmen says it smells like cat pre to him but I'm not convinced. We don't have a cat although I suppose one might have got in with all the doors open for workmen to come and go at the moment.
Whatever it is - it's pungent and getting stronger.
The new flooring goes down next week and is going into the cupboard so I am asking for any smell killing household tips you might have or any ideas on how to get rid of this awful pong before the new laminate floor goes down.
