As one of the leading suppliers of carpets in the Birstall area, our customers regularly ask us on carpet maintenance, with a lot of customers complaining that their carpet smells odd If you suspect that your carpet may smell then it may need a deep clean by a professional team, that’s because carpets trap odors which can make them linger in your home.
If this is the case and you are wondering how your carpet got into this state, consider these factors:
- Moisture and dampness can get underneath carpets, which can cause a very musty smell throughout your house. This can come from plants, spills or humid weather, as well as floods or excess water on the carpet. This can be particularly dangerous as this can lead to mold if not seen to early, which in turn can cause health issues.
- Pets are an obvious reason as to why carpets can smell, particularly if you have a smell pet that isn’t toilet trained- it can be quite difficult to get the smell out of your carpets even after a deep clean. These bacteria, such as those from vomit too are activated by water, which is why you may still be able to smell a foul scent after cleaning.
- A household that has smokers living there can cause foul smells, as your carpets will collect up the smoke odor. If smoking is excessive it can be difficult to remove even with professional cleaning equipment and may need to be replaced.
There are many reasons as to why your carpet may smell; it could also be down to old age and the reality that you just need to invest in a new one.
