PLEASE help me solve my whiffy house mystery

[CybilLiberty]

I have posted about this a looong while ago, about a strange almost camembert cheesey strong smell which would waft up from under the floor in my kitchen diner, just after we had had our building work finished.

. It stopped over the summer. I didn;t smell it once.

But now it's back. It almost 'puffs up' in a burst of smell, it's horrible. We have scented candles and burner oils but it's really strong when it happens.

We have an expensive wooden floor which I am loathed to pull up, in fact I won't, it's been down less than a year.

Does anyone anyone have any idea where this smell couls be coming from, or what it is?

cybil this thread was ont eh twitter feed fgs

We had the same our drip tray at back of integrated fridge - the smell was awful
Also check light fitting, we had a light where the bit that the bulb screws into was degrading, the smell was so bad I was convinced something was dying in my house, and of course it was periodic when the lamp was on... drove me mad!

whats the twitter feed

oh just found it. Who put my thread on there then

theres a twitter feed on bad smells?

yes, specifically CAMEMBERT flavoured ones

I would second (third?) pulling out the fridge and washing out the drip tray on the back/underneath. The 'water' goes yellow and solid over a few months - took me ages to track it down [throw-up emoticon]
