How Do You Naturally Remove A New Carpet Odor?
Because chemicals are used to preserve carpets, new carpets have an odor unpleasant to many. Furthermore, the chemical odor can cause breathing issues for those with lung conditions such as asthma. Getting out the new carpet odor is really a matter of getting out the chemicals or neutralizing them. You can naturally remove the odor using a carpet steam cleaner, and to help neutralize the smell, you can try baking soda and vacuuming. Thoroughly vacuum the new carpets. Open two doors to the outside and set up box fans to blow air (and chemicals) from the house. You must open two doors to get a good current going through. Steam clean the carpets, keeping the fans blowing until the carpets are dry. Another option is to try sprinkling baking soda over the carpet, but only if it is dry. Allow the baking soda about an hour to neutralize odors, then vacuum it off the carpet.
