My basement flooded. How do I get the smell out of my mildew smelling carpet after I dried it.?
Forget shampooing and all that, there isn’t much you can do, you smell it cause it’s there and probably sitting in the walls / wood as well. My apartment got flooded last year got it shampooed professionally a couple of times, cause the smell never came out didn’t really see mildew but my boys started getting real sick and all so I got a kit to test for mold and mildew and when I got the results, I ended up having to move out. Be very carefull, if the smell is there that bad you have a permanent roomy. I had people come to my house to check it out and see what options I had and the only thing was to tear down the walls and rebuild of course my cheap as landlord didn’t go for that. So I didn’t have any other choice but to move out since my boys got so sick that I had to take a trip to the ER 3 times already. Good luck to you but don’t get fooled by products that promise to rid you of this mildew problem.
