When it comes to odors, carpets are commonly affected. Odors are often derived from an underlying issue that requires attention before the odors can be effectively removed. When the odors become overpowering, visitors can be easily distracted and even uncomfortable being in your home. Sometimes homeowners do not even realize the odors have evolved as they have grown accustomed to the smell and only recognize their carpets’ odors when they have returned home after being away for more than a couple of hours. In order to eliminate the odors effectively, you often need to know the surface. Today, we at Tough Carpet Cleaning would like to list the common odors that are making your Las Vegas, NV carpets pungent.
Common Causes of Bad Smells in Carpet
Spilled Food & Drinks on Carpet: Spilled food and drink that was not efficiently treated is one of the common causes to carpet odors. These organic spills promptly draw in bacteria and as the bacteria is broken down, the gasses produce smelly and unpleasant odors. The most optimal solution to remove the stains, bacteria, and odor from the carpet that was caused by food and drink spills is with enzyme cleaners and professional services.
Carpet Got Wet & Smells: Musty odor is typically due to moisture lingering under the carpets and in the carpet padding. There are many homeowners who do not even realize the moisture exposure lingering out of sight. This circumstance can be the cause of a number of scenarios; leaving the window open during a rainstorm, experiencing a flood from appliances or broken pipes, overflowed potted plants, and even excess humidity. Water damage is not the only issue as moisture can introduce mildew and mold which causes odors, damages materials, and creates health hazards.
Cigarette Smoke Odor Trapped in Carpet: Particularly an issue with smokers that smoke indoors, the carpeting acts a filter of sorts, against these odors. Even other smokers can be offended by these smells and when visitors, potential buyers if you are selling a home, these people can be made uncomfortable and will want to escape. A professional deep clean is the most effective solution as they can eliminate the odor molecules.
Old age: A noticeable odor is detected when carpet fibers begin breaking down at the end of their lifespan. As the fibers decay, the odors are released, and it only becomes more potent over time. Because these odors are not effectively neutralized with any method, the most optimal solution is simply to replace the carpets.
Pet Accident Odors on Carpet: Improperly cleaned pet accidents emit odors. The more often the pet has an accident the more concentrated the smell. Leaving urine and vomit, as well as poop stains untreated attracts bacteria. As this bacteria breaks down, the gasses release additional odors. With the help of enzyme cleaners and a professional’s touch you can get these odors effectively neutralized. Treating these accidents immediately controls the odors, but you need to be sure to use an enzyme cleaner.
