yesterday, our washer somehow over flowed, resulting in a very wet and smelly carpet. we put towels on it to mop up excess water, tried having a fan dry it out and even used a hair dryer!!
our landlady came over(we rent a condo) and all shes going to do is check to see about the warenty on our washer. i dont think she is going to take out the carpet, so what can we do to make it dry and not smell???
thanks

Keep the fan on it and spray with a mixture of water and vinegar.Let it dy with the fan first, then spray it with the mixture and let it dry thoroughly.Leave it on while you are at work or over night.Just use the mixture til odor is gone.

Rent a carpet cleaner and use it to suck the water out. Then aim fans toward the wet area. You may also want to pull the carpet back to expose and dry the pad.

if you have an electriclux vacuum cleaner or alike with reverse blower attached. Place the hose under one portian of the cpt and let it blow for many hours...this will dry the padding, flooring and carpet and them reattach the cpt to the tachtrack.

take a few tolews you don't want and step on the wet area with them. do this a few times and spray some resolve on the carpet or what i really suggest is stuff called odoban. it cleans just about any smell.

get a dehumidifier it sill suck the water out of the air and the carpet, then shampoo it really well.
