Ah yes the humble carpet! Love them or hate them, there’s no denying that they’re making somewhat of a come back. Carpets can have the ability to make a room feel cosy and warm and many people and pets alike simply can’t get enough of them. They do however have a fundamental flaw in that odours and dirt can get trapped deep within the fibres and can prove difficult to shift. So if you walk into a room and are thinking “what’s that smell?” then it’s probably going to be your carpet. With this in mind, just how do you get rid of carpet odour? Here are four great tips.
Give it some air
Fresh air is great for all areas of your home including your carpet. So once every few weeks or so (providing the weather is good of course) you might want to think about throwing all your windows and doors open to let some air into the house. You can also try placing a fan or two around the house to circulate the air around.
Vacuum it
If you don’t want dirt to become trapped in the fibres then regular vacuuming is a must. You may want to first consult your carpet specialist to see the best type of vacuum to do the job as different carpets require different cleaning methods. If your cat or dog also can’t get enough of your carpet, then you’ll need a vacuum that’s designed to pick up pet hair.
Cleaning deodoriser
Let’s be clear about this, carpet cleaning deodorisers don’t banish smells, they simply mask them, so it may well be just a temporary solution. However they do have the ability to get rid of smells such as tobacco, strong cooking odours and pet odours, even if it is only for a short while.
Call in the professionals

Carpet cleaning companies utilise high-grade steam and hot water cleaners to see that even the most ground-in odours and dirt are removed, leaving your carpet looking brand new. Unfortunately this is something that you aren’t going to achieve with a standard vacuum cleaner.
