Could anyone please help with identifying where this smell comes from? It's a weird smell like one that comes from dirty nappy bins. It is only in our DCs room, nowhere else in the house. We have cleaned and turned the room upside down trying to find the source of this smell. No luck. The room is next to kitchen and gas boiler cupboard. It's a top floor flat in an old tenement building. The smell was there last year between April and September, usually on warm, windy days after it had rained. The smell has returned in the last few weeks, again mostly on warm, windy days after it has rained. The minute we close the windows the smell returns, but it comes and goes. It's almost like it's coming from the walls or maybe the window, but we can't find the exact source. Someone from our housing association inspected the attic last year, they didn't find anything. Gas boiler was serviced last week, all good. We redecorated the room i.e. repainted it about 1.5 years ago. It still has carpets from previous owners. We don't have any animals. Any ideas? We don't know where to start if we were to call someone out or how to make sure the smell is there when they come out....
