So it is the carpet that is smelly and not the student, as your title suggests  ::)

What sort of odour is it?

Is it definitely coming from the carpets?

Express do a couple of possible products:

Airx

Prochem Odour Fresh
www.express-cleaning-supplies.co.uk/oos/odourcontrol/B124.html

I've been very impressed with the new product from Solutions too

Someone may have been sick on the carpet perhaps . Use an enzyme pre spray or a colloidal with plenty of dwell time. Check the substrate and backing if possible and treat it if needed. Mist a de-odouriser afterwards once source of odour has been dealt with.

Cheers

Fred
