It really reeks. My plumbing system is fine I have new carpets. My bedding gets changed once a wk. I clean my toilet area daily and I vacume all the time. I have 2 diffusers to block the smell but it has this smell that is revolting. I can’t get rid of it no matter what. My house is 10 years old and very new condition bh.
I also just washed the blinds and gave my entire room a scrub from top to bottom. I’m stuck!!!!!

Dead animal in the walls. Or behind a dresser. Or a piece of fruit or mill behind a dresser or the like. I assume the smell isn't worse in the bathroom- if it is, there can be build up inside drains that can do this too.

You need to investigate. Get down on your hands and knees, get up on a step stool. Sniff sniff sniff until you can figure out where it is coming from. I wish there was an easier way.
Once you get the area, you can figure out what it's coming from or if you need an HVAC guy, contractor, etc.

If it smells similar to urine, it may be mold- particularly in the roof

There are amazing odor neutralizing products on amazon. Look for pet odor remover

It’s not a moldy smell. It’s like a strong strong stench that I can smell through my COVID blocked nose. I have been investigating the past two months literally hands and knees. I hope I don’t have to break apart any walls
I have central heat and ac so it’s not behind that.

Does anyone else smell it, or just you? (Asking because covid can cause a stench to come up in your nose about 2.5 - 3 months post covid that only the sufferer smells.)

Is it a fishy smell? We had this from light fixtures and light bulbs that were eroding it was a new house or something weird that exterminator said sometimes happens
