mustiness

Things that had been stored in the hold came up with a certain old smell and a little mustiness.

A piece of gum camphor, or a few drops of oil of lavender put on the shelves will help to keep away insects, mould and mustiness.

The tiny window was open, and was doing its best to drive out mustiness.

This will allow fresh air to get in and prevent the mustiness of the contents, familiar to hotel and boarding-house sufferers.

Mustiness was clean gone, swept from her frequent haunts by the sweet breath of Nature.
