Question about English (US)

How would you say こもった匂いがする in English?

For example, assume you kept your windows and doors close for a month. Your house must smell like dust, foods, garbage, people's smell, and many other things.
Literally, it smells like it was closed for a long time, and it's never a nice smell.

How to use: 「暖房をつけた部屋の窓を一日中閉めっぱなしにしていたから、こもった匂いになってしまった。すぐに窓を開けなければ。」
