These smells leave your home unpleasant and not so very comfortable to stay in. However Ameri-Best Carpet Cleaning can help clean your carpets and yes, we can remove those nasty smells. However, Ameri-Best Carpet Cleaning will share the many different ways carpets can and do become stinky.
If a portion of the carpet or the entire carpet has been exposed to water from flooding, leaking pipes or even spills; mold, mildew and fungus will develop within or even underneath your carpets. In no time at all, you will begin to notice an unpleasant musty smell. Moisture doesn’t just make your home smell, it will also become a health risk. When carpets are exposed to moisture or high water content, your carpet will need a professional treatment.
Of course you can always blame the family household pets. Accidents from urine and feces leave behind bacteria and ammonia. From time to time, the gases from these bacteria will make your home give off a foul odor. Urine is the worst since often the urine will soak deep into the padding underneath the carpet. There are ways to treat the smells caused by pets. However your best solution is by using a professional carpet cleaner to fully neutralise the odor left by pets.
Sorry smokers, but once tobacco gets burned, the smoke gets easily trapped into the fiber of the carpets. In the event a fire was started but controlled within the home the smoke from that also gets trapped and causes your carpets to smell. However with constant smoking in the household, your carpet will forever smell.
Carpet is made up of fibers that break down over time. As the fibers begin to break down they will begin to smell musty. Additionally, it will also release all of the trapped particles such as dust. As they begin to break down it just doesn’t cause bad smells but also allergies. If this is occurring, it is time to replace your carpets.
Are your carpets a prime location of feeding gourds? The food and drinks that have fallen or have been spilled onto the carpets leaves bacteria much like pets stains do. They too will release from time to time; a nasty, unpleasant odor. The food or liquids such as juice, soda, coffee and other high acidic drinks are the worst because they can also decay your carpet. This decay can become a health hazard. Cleaning the carpet will help reduce these potential health problems. However, carpet exposed to food and liquid will need replacing sooner than others.
