My guest house has begun to smell like pickles. Anyone know what could be the cause (besides pickles!)?

Question

The smell is getting stronger - permeating my linens, furniture. I've aired out the house but the smell is still there. The house is only used on weekends so no one lives in it or cooks in it. Could there be something in the air system or under the house? Help! It's terrible.

Answer 1

pickles?.... vinegar... apples fermenting.... got an apple tree nearby?...lose some under the house maybe?.... sorry, this is a new one on me....

found this about 'real' pickle smell...

and there's another site that mentions boiling coffee on the stove to take out odors....
