Does your house smell damp, musty, or downright bad? Your carpets may be the culprit. Even when floor coverings look clean on the surface, they can be harbouring bacteria which release awful smells into the air.
Unfortunately, a dirty carpet will quickly fill your entire house with a nasty odour which can be hard to get rid of. Keep reading for details on why your carpets might smell bad and what you can do about it.
Did your child spill a glass of milk a few months back? Are you certain that you can still smell it in the air? If you didn’t manage to clean up in time, you probably still can.
Spilled liquids will quickly penetrate through the top layer of your carpet and right through to the backing. This means they won’t be removed by regular cleaning and will continue to rot instead. This isn’t the end of the world if all you spilled was water, but if you spill anything else, you may deal with a rotten smell.
Got cats or dogs at home? Most furry friends are prone to accidents at least once in a while, and pet urine is notoriously difficult to remove from carpets. If your pet made a mess without you realizing and you only just now noticed the smell, the time has passed for you to try and clean the urine yourself.
Arrange specialist pet urine odour cleaning to remove all traces of bacteria and completely eliminate the bad smell. Choose a company with specific experience in removing pet urine odours, as they require different treatment than other kinds of dirt.
Did you let a guest smoke indoors a few weeks ago? Or was the previous homeowners a chain smoker? Whatever the cause, cigarette smoke clings to carpets and soft furnishings and makes your home smell like an ashtray even after months have passed.
To remove the unpleasant cigarette odour from your home, you’ll need to hire a professional carpet cleaner. It’s also advisable to clean walls and furniture, as toxins can linger there as well.
We’ve all had the awful experience of stepping in dirt or dog mess outside, then treading it all over our lovely carpets. The risk is even higher if you have kids or pets who don’t or can’t check their shoes before they come indoors.
Just vacuuming won’t be enough to remove this kind of mess from your carpets. Instead, you’ll need to arrange professional deep cleaning that gets right down into the fibres and removes all traces of the outside dirt and debris.
To protect your floor coverings going forward, try implementing a no-shoes policy while in the house. If a policy like that isn’t effective, arrange regular carpet cleaning to stay on top of things.
Did you attempt to clean your carpet and find it smelling damp or musty afterwards? When you try to clean a carpet yourself, you probably don’t dry the carpet as well as you should.
This allows damp, mould, and mildew to build up, creating a nasty smell. Lingering mould will also release harmful spores into the air, which can trigger allergies and asthma symptoms.
Deal with damp-smelling carpets by hiring a professional cleaning company. They’ll use special equipment to ensure that your carpet dries quickly after cleaning, leaving no time for damp to become an issue.
If your home smells bad no matter what you do, your carpets are probably to blame. Eliminate bad odours by hiring a professional carpet cleaning service. Contact us to book your carpet cleaning appointment today.
