My contractor told me to skip the vapor barrier in my basement reno. Three months later I had mold.

oh @hannahs45 you're so right, same exact thing happened with my guy and i swear i still catch hints of that weird plastic smell months later. its like they used some cheap materials or something and now i just regret the whole thing every time i walk in there.

Try putting a bowl of vinegar down there for a couple days, it actually helps pull the chemical smell out of the air. An air purifier with a carbon filter worked way better than all the candles and sprays I tried first. Just give it time and lots of airflow, those cheap materials take forever to offgas.
