Can Carpet Hot Water
Extraction Remove Bad Smell?
|
Carpets are one of the common investments most people make
in an aid to improve the interior design of their living
areas. This is because carpets enhance the look of the floor
and also protects it from wearing. Unfortunately, the
carpets are very delicate and can easily absorb pungent
smells. These bad odors can make your home unliveable and
visitors may find it hard to stay in the house. It is
important to remove any foul smell from your carpet as soon
as possible before it spreads to the entire house. Hot water
extraction is one of the ways used to remove bad smell from
carpets especially if the odor is intense where minor
procedures such as baking soda are ineffective.
What causes carpet odor
There are various elements that can lead to bad smells in
carpets. Some are bought from the store with an unpleasant
odor which is a characteristic of many new carpets. This can
naturally fade away through repeated vacuuming and airing.
The installation appliance like glue may also cause
unpleasant smell which will similarly fade after a few days.
However, if the odor is too strong, you should be looking at
ways of removing it by contracting expert services and
advice so that cleaning does not jeopardize the quality of
your carpet.
Some of the causes of bad smell is carpets include the
following
• Pets – Pets can accidentally relieve themselves on the
carpets from time to time. The liquid will get absorbed
quickly into the fibers of the carpet and this can result in
foul smells. Additionally, pets carry dirt and moisture from
outside when they get into the room. The accumulation and
reaction of both will definitely result in bad odors. Those
who have lived with pets for long may get used to the smell
and fail to identify any difference. It is important to use
fresh nose from a trusted friend to tell you whether there
is any strange smell in the house.
• Spilled water and debris – Spilled water will seep into
the carpet fibers and initiate destructive processes which
can result in rotting, decomposition, delaminating among
others. Such processes produce foul odors. Similarly,
particles and debris accumulation will result in rotting.
• Mold and mildew – These of course thrive in humid areas
especially where there has been water activity. Mold will
destroy the carpet quality as well as floor and they can
also result in health hazards. It is important to
effectively dry any spilled water as soon as possible.
• Smoke – Smoke will generally be absorbed in various
surfaces and may result in unpleasant smells within the
house. Airing and vacuuming should take care of such odors.
Advantages of hot water extraction in removing bad smell
Hot water extraction is very effective in removing bad
smells particularly the persistent foul odors produced by
decaying matter and pet excretions. Most people choose
deodorizing the room with sweet-smelling scents although
this only masks the smell. It is important to identify the
cause of bad odors and ensure it is removed before
deodorizing and disinfecting. Since there is likely to be
staining where the odor's source is, hot water extractions
perform both cleaning and smell removal.
Hot water also helps in killing mold and their cells thus
mitigating their effects and preventing further
multiplication. When seeking carpet cleaning and bad smell
removal, you should choose a professional contractor who has
the required equipment, technology and trained personnel to
carry out the task. Ineffective service from inexperienced
low-skilled personnel may lead to further damages and loss
of investment. It is also necessary to contract the cleaning
services as soon as you note the foul smell in order to
prevent extreme intoxication.
Conclusion
Bad odors can be very irritating and some people may
experience mild allergies as a result. The growth of mold
may also cause serious respiratory problems among other
health issues. One should therefore immediately identify any
unpleasant smell and clean it. Smaller effects can be easily
removed using simple procedures involving baking soda and
water although some carpets and tile floors should not be
exposed to such chemicals. Pungent burning smells may imply
a critical stage of rotting or decomposing which requires
professional handling to prevent infections and
contaminations. You should seek expert services for carpet
cleaning and foul smell removal which may include the use of
various procedures including hot water extraction. |
