Getting rid of musty smell in empty house

[Whitecovers]

We have just been given the keys to a council home and have been in and out measuring up for flooring etc.

But becuase it has been empty a while it has a real musty smell which seems to ball up in my chest and I can smell it on me after leaving.

Is there anything I can do before we fully move in to get it smelling a bit fresher?

I'm going to go and open windows early in the morning and was thinking a bowl of bicarb in everyroom?

Does anyone have any ideas how else to freshen it up? I don't want to use plug in becuase I think they would clash and smell weird.

I wiped down all surfaces with antibacterial wipes/spray, bleached bathrooms, shampooed the carpets, then started washing clothes when we moved in and it soon smelt like 'us'. Another trick I tried was fabric conditioner wiped on radiators/towel rail and lavender bags everywhere. Enjoy your new home..

Try these air freshners they are not plug in ones so it might be worth a try.
