I (26M) share an apartment with one roommate (26M). To be fair the place doesnt smell particularly rancid. however, it pretty much always has a blend of body and kitchen odor in the air. The scent of cooking oil and meat lingers throughout the entire apartment, which mind you, is three stories. Growing up my household had plugins in every room and candles burning at all times in nearly every room, and ive honored that tradition in the new place, but i never felt my childhood home was ever as musty as my apartment. We both are avid gym goers but i keep my laundry in a hamper in my bedroom closet. The place just always seems to have thick air and a tinge of gross boy smell to it. Any advice?
