A few hints

Instant Air Fresheners
While there are many new odor-neutralizing products that mask unpleasant smells, I like to make my own. Try these:

Baking goods: Soak a cotton ball with lemon, orange, vanilla or peppermint extract or oil of cloves. Place it in a small, clean glass jar; punch holes in the lid and secure tightly. (Don't let extracts come in contact with wood, marble, granite or painted surfaces.) Or, mix 2 teaspoons cinnamon (or other favorite spice) with 1 cup water in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave on High for two to three minutes.
Ground coffee: Put a few tablespoons of fresh, unused ground coffee into several clean old socks and hang them in your closets to stop musty odor.
Charcoal: Fill a container with activated charcoal (available at pet supply stores); place in areas affected by mold and mildew, such as the basement or a closet.

Are you serious a/b the coffee? That's a new one for me...it doesnt make your clothing smell like coffee?

Nope, just smells fresh.

a favourite trick of mine is to sprinkle a box of baking soda around on the carpets and leave overnight.

Vacuum up the next day.
