Synthetic carpet. Cleaned on Sat (3 days ago)
I forget what I used to clean it... I think it was SPM but maybe shockwave.
I did not acid rinse, since it had no wool in it.
Any idea what the cause might be?
-
Usually its because the carpet is still damp. Was it an empty property?.
-
joe same thing happened to me 2 weeks ago with shockwave .(they shut the windows before its dry)
turn your heating on slightly open windows call me back in a week if it hasnt gone .
no phone call and she keeps like my posts .
Never rush into trying to solve a problem

No... it is occupied property.
Cleaned 300psi steaming hot water. It should have been dry within hours.

Was it foam backed? If so you could have over wet it. I would go back and bonnet it. Then over spray with Odourkill or equivalent.
-
Or it could be the adhesive backing breaking down causing the foul smell or old pet smells reactivated.

You will need proper cleaning of your carpet. Carpet is an important aspect for any house and it will require proper cleaning. if you will get some bad smell then it means your carpet need proper cleaning. Use vacuum and then wash properly will remove to help unwanted smell.

Can only have been left too wet or you've brought some old soiling or an old spillage back to life.
Either way it looks like a recall, a pain for sure but this time have a good look around for signs of an old spillage. Lift the carpet if possible as it could even be a problem with the underlay.
Cleaning again I'd turn the pressure down a bit, use less water accross the main area but really flush through any specific problem areas. I'd use a deodoriser both in the pre-spray and in the tank.
How can you not know what chem you used?
-
I forget what chem i used. I used spm on one carpet and shockwave on another, but I forget which one was which now.
I put mpower in the rinse tank about 200-1. Might this have caused the problem?

Sadly, that site is getting a lot of traffic. Have to agree that the English is poor but then again the SEO company is from Birmingham!
Joe,
Are you using an air mover / blower to speed up your drying?

No.

Joe, I wouldn't recommend using a pre-spray and rinsing with a colloidal. Either a fresh water rinse or better still an acidic rinse will work much better.
Colloids like Mpower require a dwell time to work efficiently and work better as a pre-spray rather than tank detergent.
Most post clean smells, as has been said already, are either caused by the carpet being still damp the next day which allows invisible moulds and mildews to form in the base of the carpet. These offgas but will disapear once all the moisture has gone. The smell is usually like a foisty smell but a bad one can smell like cats urine.
In these instances it is not recommended to re-wet the carpet for obvious reasons.
Some houses these days have very high internal humidity. Double glazing, showering, cooking, drying clothes on radiators all contribute to this. This also prevents the carpet drying out quickly.
Or the other cause is re-constituting some kind of contamination sych as urine, vomit or drink spillage. Only way to determine this is to give it a really good sniff close to the pile. Or as already mentioned, pull the carpet back and look for any staining on the back.
