I have a one-room building out back that's been closed up for a long
time and has taken on that characeristic musty odor that storage
facilities sometimes get. I've tried a window fan, but as soon as the
fan gets turned off, the odor is back.

Would one of those ionic air cleaners solve the problem?

Thanks.

Mostly books, also some Little Tikes plastic toys and some athletic
equipment. It was shut up for over a year with a couch in it, and
that's when the odor started.

Maybe. Charcoal briquettes might be worth a try. I have friends who have
used this method and swear by it ... never tried it myself. Not sure what
they do ... absorb the odor?

Call a fire or mold restoration outfit. They have industrial ozone
machines that should take care of it. They also can take a look around and
may spot a problem that you have missed.
