To control carpet odor is to prevent it in the first place.
Carpet, rug, and upholstery are some of the most expensive home investments yet not exempted from nasty odor. Proper cleaning and fiber protection are best advised.
Humidity, excess moisture from food or drink spills, flooding, pet stains, poor ventilation, soil build-up, and years of inadequate cleaning are some of the reasons why your carpet or rug emits a foul odor.
Undeniably, even if you have the most luxurious home interior, a stinky carpet can be so unflattering.
Two Types of Carpet Odors
Surface Odor
Surface odor is caused by accidental spills or droppings in the carpet. There are quick home remedies to clean the area by dusting or vacuuming it and then to mask the nasty smell by using baking powder or vinegar process on the fabric surface and to leave it dry until the smell is gone. Some use essential oils, commercial aerosol sprays, and other odor-fighting solutions on the carpet or rug surface to eliminate the smell.
Deep Odor
Deep odor on the other hand is due to deep-seated liquid damage that not only causes the carpet to emit terrible smell but may also lead to mold problems. The truth is, there are commercial carpet cleaners and deodorizers available in the market but most of them, if not too expensive, contain strong chemical contents with overwhelming scents that can trigger allergic reactions for kids and pets.
Also, carpets, rugs, and upholstery are made of unique materials and so the way you treat your carpet has a detrimental effect on its durability and longevity. Full chemicals, improper equipment, and wrong treatment used not only make your carpet smell worse but can cost you a lot of money once the material is damaged and you have no choice but to replace it.
It is recommended that homeowners seek professional assistance from fiber protection companies for the proper spot cleaning, deodorizing, and fabric protection.
