☔ Monsoon season is pure joy — the sound of raindrops, chai in your hands, cozy movie nights. But what’s not cute? That musty, damp smell that creeps into your home like an unwanted guest.

If your room smells like a forgotten storeroom every time it rains, we’ve got you. Here are 5 natural and effective ways to kick out that funky monsoon odour:

🌬️ Why Does Your Home Smell Musty in Monsoon?

Before we fix it, let’s understand the why:

• Trapped Moisture: Humidity builds up, especially in corners and fabrics.

• Poor Ventilation: Windows shut = no airflow = stale air.

• Mold & Mildew: Damp conditions = a party for mildew.

So what’s the fix? Let’s dive in 👇

1. Cross-Ventilation + Salt Bowls (Old-School & Gold)

Open those windows when it’s not raining. Place bowls of rock salt in corners of your room — they soak up moisture like magic. It’s low-effort, zero-chemical, and grandma-approved.

✨ Pro Tip: Swap bowls weekly for best results.

2. Light a Candle That Smells Like Rain (Minus the Mustiness)

You don’t just want to remove the smell — you want to replace it with something divine. Our After Rain Candle (Neroli & Oakmoss) was literally made for this season — it smells like a fresh garden after the rain, with a hint of earthy calm.

Also try: Postivity — a fruity, fresh scent with a citrus twist.

3. Use Essential Oils That Purify Air (and Lift Mood)

Humid air traps odour. Essential oils help detox the space and your headspace. Use a diffuser or a few drops in a bowl of hot water to scent the room.

Best Picks:

• Eucalyptus – clears air & sinuses

• Bergamot – cuts through damp smells with citrus freshness

• Frankincense – earthy, grounding, mold-fighting

💧Pro Tip: Use with our waterless AuraPod Diffuser to scent small corners without steam.

4. Spray Your Curtains, Sofas & Linens

Fabrics absorb musty air faster than you think. Make a quick DIY spray with 10 drops of essential oil + 1 tbsp vodka + 1 cup water. Shake & spritz on everything from curtains to cushion covers.

✨ Instant lift, no artificial fragrance.
Or just get our Essential Oil Trio and do it in style.
