👉 Movers emit a range of unpleasant odors primarily due to the decomposition of organic materials like cardboard, paper, and fabric, which can release volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and other noxious substances. These fumes often include musty, damp, and earthy smells, exacerbated by the presence of mold and mildew that thrive in damp environments. Additionally, some movers may use chemical treatments or cleaning products that further contribute to the odor. The combination of these factors creates a pungent, sometimes overwhelming scent that can linger long after the move, affecting the comfort and air quality of the new living space.
