I used baking soda on one bad spot and it smells ok now. I think the underpad was soaked and was smelling. Now that it's dry its ok... but not amazing. They offered to redo it, but I think the same thing will happen. I just want my money back! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/carpet-smell-help#post-1059419 Sun, 01 Sep 2013 20:08:34 +0000 erinpye 1059419@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Don't scrub new carpet- you'll wear it in one area. I'd go to a local, reputable carpet retailer and ask them what they would recommend you do. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/carpet-smell-help#post-1059348 Sun, 01 Sep 2013 19:11:37 +0000 looch 1059348@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What does it smell of? Are you sure they cleaned all the spots? Have you checked your furniture? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/carpet-smell-help#post-1059343 Sun, 01 Sep 2013 19:08:42 +0000 T.H.O.U. 1059343@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Champagne: there could be a chance then it was bad water they used to clean it. Typically you want them I hook up to a fresh water supply so you know it was cleaned with clean water. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/carpet-smell-help#post-1059341 Sun, 01 Sep 2013 19:08:01 +0000 Dandelion 1059341@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Tuff Stuff...find it in the automotive section at Walmart. With 2 dogs, we've tried everything, and this stuff is AMAZING, and it's not even aimed at pets. Follow the directions, which is easy...spray to soak the affected area, let it foam for about 30 seconds, then blot it up with a dry cloth or paper towel. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/carpet-smell-help#post-1059277 Sun, 01 Sep 2013 18:18:00 +0000 Mrs. Champagne 1059277@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@T.H.O.U.: I think it was their own water supply - all the hoses were hooked up to his truck. It was carpet installed by a flooring company when we built our house. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/carpet-smell-help#post-1059276 Sun, 01 Sep 2013 18:16:47 +0000 T.H.O.U. 1059276@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Champagne: do you know if the company hooked up to your water supply or if they used a tank of water they brought themself? </p> <p>Was this carpet and padding you had installed yourself? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/carpet-smell-help#post-1059269 Sun, 01 Sep 2013 18:12:41 +0000 Penny Lane 1059269@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>if it turns out the cleaners can't/wont fix it....</p> <p>i have had success getting smells out of carpet just using baking soda. sprinkle it liberally where it smells, scrub it in a little and let it sit (i did a few hours, partly because i'm just a little lazy) then vacuum it up.</p> <p>or else scrubbing with soap and white vinegar might help</p> <p>sorry this happened :-/ </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/carpet-smell-help#post-1059211 Sun, 01 Sep 2013 17:35:50 +0000 MrsH 1059211@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'd open windows and turn on a fan. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/carpet-smell-help#post-1059206 Sun, 01 Sep 2013 17:32:53 +0000 Mrs. Champagne 1059206@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Pink Champagne: That's what we've done so far.. thanks. Yeah we have another room we might sleep in! I just emailed them and told them the situation.. I hope we hear back soon.</p> <p>Also, I like your user name! :) :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/carpet-smell-help#post-1059191 Sun, 01 Sep 2013 17:23:42 +0000 Pink Champagne 1059191@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would honestly leave it, especially if its something the cleaners did. You could potentially make it worse, and if it's their fault (maybe they spilled some cleaner in that spot or didnt get it all cleaned up?) you'll want them to be able to see what the issue is.</p> <p>Maybe crack your windows? Is there another bedroom you can sleep in? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/carpet-smell-help#post-1059132 Sun, 01 Sep 2013 16:28:16 +0000 Mrs. Champagne 1059132@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I need some help!</p> <p>I had a break down the other night because we have gorgeous upgraded carpet in our master. The dog puked on it and left a stain, and our other dog had peed on it. After the break down, we had a cleaner come in. It looked great at first, and he said it would be dry in 24 hours.</p> <p>It took longer than that to dry, probably more like 48 hours. Now there is a spot where no one had peed/puked and it SMELLS SO BAD. You can't even open the door to our room without being assaulted by the smell. I am SO SO upset. I am on the verge of tears.. I mean our gorgeous new house smells disgusting and I want to rip up the carpet.</p> <p>I'm going to call the cleaner on Tuesday, but in the mean time I need to do something. ANY suggestions?? Baking soda?? Ahh help I'm so sad :( </p>
