Question:

Carpet Smell ( mold? )?

In the corner of my bedroom the carpet smells musty, almost like this mildew moldy smell even the lower part of wall stinks. It has a wooden border (if that helps) the water heater is also on the other side (outdoor patio). I've used baking soda, carpet cleaning spray. The manager had them remove the pad under the carpet only and had it steam clean but all this only seem to mask the smell for a few days. Today the supervisor came and said something about painted the walls. I know what mold/mildew smells like (for I lived in a place that had it for over 3 years) . But the management and there clean crew insists that its nothing. I even had a few friends come over smell the carpet they said it stinks. I don't know what else to do.....any suggestions?

Answer:

check under the floorboards their may be a dead animal or a human being.
the carpet cleaning companies have microbes that eat the bacteria in a carpet and when that bacteria is gone [dead] the microbes die and leave no odor == this is something that you can purchase and pour on the spot and near area of the carpet and cure
