Too often, homeowners and business owners will complain that the stench inside the home or property is unbearable, but they cannot figure out where it is coming from. Interestingly, one of the main reasons that homeowners or business owners spend a considerable amount of money on room fragrances is due to carpet and flooring that needs to be professionally cleaned. In addition, having a floor repeatedly cleaned with rental equipment by non-professionals can leave behind so much damage that the flooring needs to be cleaned by technicians to remove toxic molds.

Why your carpet stinks

Although there are many products on the market today that profess to clean your carpets with a thorough shampooing “just like a professional,” they do not tell potential buyers that there is one major drawback to these types of vacuum cleaners. Mainly, there simply is not enough juice in these types of devices to actually remove all of the dirty water from the padding under carpet. Instead, there may be a significant improvement at the surface level, but there are many layers underneath that are still filthy and sopping wet. This becomes evident when you walk across a carpet that has been recently cleaned and it is still very damp or leaves behind a wet footprint. Sadly, carpet that is wet is only going to smell bad.
