Conquering Carpet Odor 101
Carpet odor is a problem that everyone encounters sooner or later. This comes with the territory of having carpet in your home. If we honestly sit back and think about it, our carpet literally soaks up our lives.
Carpets absorb the smell of bacon cooking in the morning or the smell of burning toast for those who are not morning people!
Carpets absorb everything from cigarettes, the pungent aroma of cooked onions and the musty smell of damp clothes thrown on the floor.
When you add pets and kids into the mix this simply amplifies the need to stay vigilant in order to keep carpet odor under control.
Keeping your indoor environment as odor-free as possible is essential to keeping odor out of your carpet.
Clean air reduces the amount of odors that your carpet fibers will absorb.
Did you know that human nose can smell 1 trillion different odors? In the quest for conquering carpet odor trust your nose!
While we always recommend a professional carpet cleaning for your carpet, we want to provide you with the knowledge needed to help keep your carpet as odor free as possible.

Here are a few environmentally friendly solutions that you can use to keep carpet odor at bay between professional carpet cleanings.
Open Up Your Home
When the weather is cooperating simply open up the windows and let some nice clean air into your home.
Most of the time our windows and doors are closed, which in turn keeps unwanted odors in!
Opening your windows lets clean air circulate throughout your home and lets indoor odors escape!
Deodorize Your Trashcan
Your trashcan is a major source of indoor odor because this is where everything gets thrown away!
Week old leftovers, banana peels and dirty diapers are things that should be never mixed together! Who wants this noxious brew of smells floating through their home?
Putting a few sprinkles of baking soda in the trashcan and in the trash bag will neutralize these odors.
How Does It Work?
Baking soda works by reducing the pH of acidic and alkaline substances such as rotting meat, expired yogurt etc.…
Garbage Disposal + Citrus Rind= Odor Gone
The garbage disposal is a gift and a curse at the same time. It’s great when you want to clean your plate and sit down to watch your favorite show.
It’s not so great when it starts stinking up your house! Food waste builds up in the hoses over time or gets stuck, which often leads to this smelly situation.
Luckily there is a simple solution to this problem. Next time you eat an orange or use a lemon, put the rind in the garbage disposal and turn it on.
This will give your home a nice inviting citrus smell. Using these techniques will keep your indoor odor to a minimum.
