Guest guest Posted June 21, 2002 Report Share Posted June 21, 2002 Baking soda should work, sprinkle it on, let sit for a while, then vacuum. Worked for us to get smoke smell out. you could even add a few drops of lavender oil -- " chrisziggy1 " <chrisziggy1 Fri, 21 Jun 2002 21:22:25 -0000 Taking All Stinky Rug Suggestions Hey Gals and Guys My new house has wall to wall carpeting (a change from my last house which was all hardwood floors) .. and, well, it smells - yucky Just a general stench .. and I'm going to get it cleaned ..

Guest guest Posted June 22, 2002 Report Share Posted June 22, 2002 Chris, We have use baking soda, sprinkle it all over the carpet and let it set for a few hours, then vacuum it up. You can put it on heavy where it's needed most. They have some at the store that's scented too. You can also do the same thing but use 5% sevin dust to kill flea's in your carpet. Sevin 5% is pretty safe, because you can use it on cats without harming them. Rick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
