Title: deodorizer for flooded carpets
Post by: Paul Redden Countryfresh on September 16, 2005, 09:24:42 pm

Hi, can anyone recommend a quality deodorizer that can kill the musty smell, for instance in a office ( stuck down cord no underlay) that won't leave the staff choking?   ???

Cheers Paul

Deodorisation will only work while the carpet is wet,a bit like a perfume works to make your Missus smell nice is will ware off. If you have a flooded carpet you needed sanitization to kill of bacteria and that is only the start of it.

You need someone more qualified than me to tell you what products and procedures to use.

If the carpets been wet for a number of days there may be a build up of mould in the fibres. Also bacterial growth caused by the dirt and debris in the carpet will be causing odour. Carpet needs to be cleaned and an anti microbial applied. Chemspec do an excellent one called Ultra Fresh.
Problem is, if the underlying floor slab is wet, this moisture is permeating through the carpet until it dries out causing an ongoing problem. If the area involved is not too large a couple of air movers may be adequate to dry out. Or it may also need dehumidification and someone who knows how to use it.
