Give your carpet time to dry really well. Then sprinkle baking soda on it. Let it set for awhile-the longer the better. Then vacuum up.

With water sitting on the carpet, it were given below the carpet and padding. you want to pull back the carpet and be conscious if the pad and under the pad is undesirable. If the pad is moldy you want to modify it, if the floor is moldy you want to sparkling it. If the water in straight forward words sat for some hours or an afternoon, you would possibly want to be ok. you want to first be certain the padding is sparkling and dry earlier continuing, in the different case no remember how sparkling the carpet is, the smell will continually be there from the padding below. once you comprehend the padding is sparkling you could purely sparkling the carpet. i'd use a vinegar/water blend (50/50) and this can sparkling and get rid of the smell. once you've a wide section, i'd employ a professional in view that they're waiting to no longer in straight forward words sparkling the carpet, yet must have a accessible finished sufficient kit to sparkling the padding at the same time. good success!

There is a good chance that you may have a problem underneath the carpet, in the padding. Possibly mold or mildew. It is for that reason, that I've taken all the carpet out of my house and put tile floors. It's easier to clean, and it smells so much better. Best of luck to you.........

Spray the carpet with a mixture of water and lavender oil and then heat the room until it is unbearably hot.

open the window and put fans on around the room that the carpet was cleaned in.

mix up some fabric softener (like gain or snuggle) with hot water and re-clean your carpet. make sure to go over it several times to make sure you got up all of the water.
