the mildew smell sadly is probably like. in the structure of the house/building atp. you’ll probably just have to rely on covering it up with incense or air freshener. personally i find that things that smell more earthy/spicy like incense or cinnamon essential oil tend to do a better job of covering smells than sweet scents

dehumidifier, there’s ones that you have to dump often and there’s more expensive ones that will have the water drip out the window

if it’s just your room/closet, or if a dehumidifier isn’t in your budget, you can also try DampRid

You can get them for cheap from Walmart, I personally splurged a little on mine and I think it’s definitely worth it

I also open the window to let some air in and then sometimes turn on the heater
