    I have a small guest WC under my stairs which has a tiled floor. I discovered a persistent leak from the rear of the cistern which made the floor constantly damp, I got my plumber to repair the leak and I now want to re-tile the bathroom. I have removed all the old tiles but still can't get rid of a persistant damp smell even after putting a heater in there running for about 10 hours, any ideas please on this odour?

    Leave the bathroom to dry out properly for about 2 weeks before re tiling. That should sort it

    Re-launder the clothes with a cup of white vinegar in the rinse. Dry outdoors or in a clothes-dryer, and the musty smell should be completely gone (and no vinegar smell, either).
