If you’re looking to deodorize your carpet, it’s important to focus on eliminating the source of the odor rather than just masking it with stronger scents. While professional deodorizing services offer comprehensive cleaning and odor elimination, you can also try the following tips yourself or temporarily until professional assistance arrives.
- Identify and Treat the Source
It may seem obvious, but a lingering smell could be caused by something you spilled months ago and forgot about. Especially if it’s organic matter like feces or vomit, you must treat the stain permanently. Organic substances decay over time, and you may suddenly find an unpleasant odor from an incident that occurred months ago. Locate and address the source of the smell to effectively eliminate it. - Harness the Power of Vinegar
Vinegar is a tried-and-true solution for neutralizing odors. Create a mixture of one part vinegar and four parts water to treat common stains. Additionally, if there’s a persistent funky smell, place a bowl of vinegar in the affected area where it won’t get knocked over. After a day, the smell should significantly dissipate. If the odor persists, it’s time to seek professional assistance. - Enlist Professional
Help If you’re still dealing with a stubborn odor emanating from a stain, it’s advisable to call in the professionals. It’s generally recommended to schedule professional steam cleaning for your carpets at least once a year. Professional carpet cleaners possess the expertise to identify the appropriate treatment methods for different types of stains. Moreover, their high-quality and advanced cleaning equipment is not typically available for home use.
