Place clean coffee cans filled with charcoal briquette's (not those with lighter fluid) around your basement, they will absorb basement smells. You can change the briquette's every 3 or 4 months, you can tell when they need changing. I have a large basement and have 6 cans down there. 334
My washer and dryer are in the basement, so when I go down to do or check on laundry, I do about 5 minutes of sweeping, decluttering, etc. Seeing things getting cleaner little by little is motivation to keep it up. My basement is almost clean now, almost painlessly.43
