Chlorine/Bleach smell in basement
I have a noticeable chlorine/bleach type smell in my basement, in particular on the stairs that go from the basement to the first floor of the house. The strength of the smell varies. I have not seen any mold yet, and I ran a mold test that has yet to show any positive sign of mold. The basement is generally dry and shares heat with the first floor. The basement has a dehumidifier, a fan and an air purifier. The basement and basement stairs are carpeted but I haven't noticed any dampness. There's no sign of water leakage or damage. The dehumidifier removes a bucket of water from the room about every 3-4 days.
Thoughts on what is causing it and how to get rid of it?
