Removing Musty Odor On Flooded Carpet

removing musty smell from mattress Post By Laura (Guest Post) (07/14/2008) I dropped a lot of water on my mattress and I forgot about it for a few days. When I got home I noticed it was still wet, and now it smells terrible. How can I get this smell out without buying a new mattress?

I put lysol in my shampooer and cleaned the areas. I got all the water out I can, and man, it smells bad. How do I get rid of this?

Just basically covered the carpet so that it's barely damp, and just repeat till the smell is gone :) Report Spam or Abuse RE: Removing Musty Odor On Flooded Carpet Post By Nan (Guest Post) (06/22/2005) My carpet flooded, and is almost dry. But I'm worried about the gross smell and the possibility of health problems. What about adding bleach to water in my steam cleaner. Would that kill the spores? I sure would hate to have to rip it up.

What a mess. A friend lent us there wet dry vaccum to get most of the water and then we put down lots of newspaper. As it got wet we kept replacing it. The print in the paper absorbed the odor and when we sold the house you never would have guessed that it was once covered in water. Not sure if this will work if the carpet is already dry. Hope this helps you. Report Spam or Abuse RE: Removing Mustry Odor On Flooded Carpet Post by glacre (1) | (01/20/2005) Contact Ammonia works well. You can put some in a cup or container in the corner. I would try putting some on the carpet itself. I use ammonia with washing detergent to get the musty, moldly odors out of clothes.
