Strange one

[Alwayslearning22]

Hi all, not long moved into a my new home. 
 Few days after Laying my laminate flooring I noticed a wet mop smell. I couldn’t find the source. It seemed concentrated in middle of house. 
I noticed the smell has now changed to a sweaty feet smell and it seems to be central in the house and gets worse the warmer it is outside. 

could the slab still be wet? 
house was built over a year ago and it lay empty for months before I moved in. Minimal heating on during that time. 
 

anyone experienced this?

Wet mop and sweaty feet do not bring to mind ideal conditions.  I think you may need to take up a section of flooring or make a hole somewhere inconspicuous to see what is going on.

Did you put a membrane down under the flooring? Sounds like the floor is sweating.

It shouldn't be, if the house was weather- tight.

The outdoor temperature shouldn't make much difference.

Anything else you can tell us?

Do the windows steam up?

How long did you have the house before laying the flooring?

 

What is the flooring material? Laminated can be several options.

 

Any chance it is simply a smell coming off the flooring material itself?
