RE: Getting Odors Out of Carpets
Rose -- What kind of heavy-duty carpet shampoo-er to you use? What features should people look for when buying these? Nancy
Re: Getting Odors Out of Carpets
I think the absolutely best purchase we ever made was a steam cleaner from Sears. We've had it for about 20 years, with only minor repairs. The only place to get sick is on the carpet of course! I use the hottest water I can get from my tap and use one of the pet stain & odor removers - I've used several, right now I'm using Pet Force, an all natural product, and it works great on urine, feces, and throw up! I have very light carpet and there are no stains left on it or odors. Sue Sanvido
RE: Getting Odors Out of Carpets
Hi Sara, Unfortunately if the accidents have been sloppy then the subfloor may well have absorbed the odour and will keep coming through the carpet. After years of struggling with this problem I yanked all the carpets out and sealed the subfloor with varathane in the living room, nearly died with those fumes so the other floors were painted with latex floor paint, then we installed Pergo. I have carpet in two bedrooms and use Liquid Tide or Liquid Cheer to clean those with my carpet shampooer (heavy duty model) and that works well enough. Rose T.
