Re: deoderizing/cleaning carpets?

I had this problem. I had the carpets professionally cleaned and deoderized.

The smell is in the walls too, so we have been painting ever surface we can, with a good primer and new paint, it has made a world of difference. We did have to replace one carpet that was beyond being slavaged.

I think there's also addditive you can put in paint/primer that add scent or help neutralize smells. I've seen that on Deisgned to Sell.

Paint additive

Chem Dry is wonderful for this! They are more expensive than regular carpet cleaners but worth the extra $$ for something like this. The have a spray deoderizer that they use after they clean that smells great.
