Question

my son peed on my rug so i had it professionaly cleaned. he had to do it twice it smelt so bad! now it stinks of deoderiser its so strong and horrid i wanna throw up can anyone offer any advice on how to make it smel better even if its something i can concoct my self please help

Answer 1

hmmm difficult one.

I have in the past used bicarbonate of soda on my carpets (baking soda, sodium bicarbonate to give it it's other possible names)

Sprinkle this liberaly over the rug, lightly brush in, leave for about an hour than vac up. It may not work in this case but it is inexpencive and safe to use.

Answer 2

If the weather is ok the best thing is to air it outside- hang it on the washing line for a few hours to blow away the smell. Anything else you put on the rug will just make it worse

Answer 3

I'd let it air out somewhere first--outside or in a room you don't use a lot. Then I'd put some baking soda on it for about an hour then vacuum it off the carpet. Baking soda will take any smell away! Best of Luck!

Answer 4

Hang the rug out on the line overnight best on a frosty night it will smell nice and fresh in the morning

Answer 5

hang the rug outside in the fresh air for a while that hopefully should get rid of the smell

Answer 6

I think that things usually smell a bit when they come back from the cleaners. I would reccomend just opening windows and doors and wait for the smell to go away.

Answer 7

you could wash with a little of your own shampoo it clean´s carpets just as good as any carpet shampoo. but like someone has said, if you can hang the rug in the fresh air

Answer 8

Try hanging it outside if it's just the deodorisers , it should diminish. There are lots of products that neutralise smells Oust is the one I use.

Answer 9

sprinkle bicarbonate of soda powder on to it and leave on over night then hoover off in morning

Answer 10

baking soda spinkled on it let it sit for an hour then vacuum
