Carpet soaks up smells. Cooking, cigarette smoke, sweat, spilled milk and damp all leave odours in the pile and backing, and in humid Brisbane summers a closed-up room can start to smell musty within weeks. Air fresheners only cover the smell for a while. Deodorising goes after the cause. Rooms that stay shut while people are away, such as spare bedrooms and holiday units, are the usual trouble spots.
The crew we book first works out where the smell is coming from. A musty smell often points to moisture, such as a leak, a damp corner or a room with poor airflow. Food and drink smells usually come from old spills that have soaked in. Smoke clings to every fibre across the room, so the whole area needs treating rather than one spot.
- Finding the source of the smell and any damp areas
- A steam clean to flush out residue in the pile
- A deodorising treatment matched to the odour
- Extra attention to edges, corners and under furniture
- Advice on airflow and keeping rooms dry
If a smell comes from damp under the carpet, such as a leaking pipe or water coming in under a door, cleaning alone will not fix it for good. The crew will say so and suggest you get the leak sorted first. For smells from old spills or smoke, a deodorising clean usually makes a clear difference in one visit.
When you call, tell us what the smell is like, which rooms it is in and how long it has been there. We give you upfront pricing on the phone. To book carpet deodorising in Brisbane, call 07 3916 2932 and a local crew will be lined up.
