Weird Smell in Mobile Home
It's not something I can identify. It is nothing I've ever smelled before. I live in a older single wide trailer. I keep getting this odd smell that isn't something dead or rotten. It doesn't smell like must or mold. It doesn't smell like gas or a chemical. I don't know what it is.
