How to Get Odor Out of Carpets?
The only way to get odor out of carpets for good, is through professional cleaning. Odors from pet stains or even that pesky “wet carpet smell” may be lessened or masked with DIY solutions, but without professional service, these efforts are only surface deep. Carpeting is thick and installed over a carpet pad. Beneath these layers lies a subfloor. The only mechanisms for cleaning all the way to the subfloor involve professional, hot water extraction carpet cleaning equipment.
Our Professional Carpet Cleaning Process
Our residential carpet cleaning and care process, which also applies to throw rugs and area rugs, consists of six proven steps. When you hire a certified Rainbow International technician to clean your home’s carpets and rugs, here’s what you can expect:
- A deep vacuuming using agitation and advanced filters removes a substantial percentage of particulates.
- The application of preconditioning solution separates remaining soils from the carpet fibers.
- Agitation of the preconditioning solution to ensure maximum contact between the solution and the fibers.
- A high-efficiency hot-water rinse removes the cleaning solution and any particulates residing in your carpet, helping to avoid a “wet carpet” smell.
- Grooming restores the pile and eliminates matting, improving the overall appearance of your carpeting.
- After cleaning, carpets will be damp. Carpets will dry naturally over the course of 4 - 6 hours.
What About That Wet Carpet Smell?
Wet carpets = wet carpet smell. From water damage incidents to repeat spills, there are many factors that may contribute to a carpet smelling wet. The odor associated with wet carpeting stems from the growth of mold and mildew on a carpet or carpet pad that has been left too wet. This can even be caused by professional cleaning.
At Rainbow International, our hot-water extraction cleaning process leaves carpets drier post-clean, meaning they dry fully, keeping mold and mildew at bay and making your carpet smell fresh.
