hi guys. so i have a brand new rug i put in the living room. but sadly.. i think it must be the new thread smell.. or the smell of what it was wrapped in.. because it smells quite stale.. and is giving me a headache. this is my first apartment. and i dont have experience cleaning rugs.. can someone explain a good way to get rid of the smell.. astringents to buy.. or something to kind of wash the rug without staining or ruining it.. i can do it by hand.. i just dont know the correct approach.ps. i have a rite aid next door. so if i should get something there to clean it.. please let me know!also, whats a good cleaner to buy for a toilet bowl? i need some good advice thank u!
1] daytime - open all windows and turn on any fans 2] close/lock windows at night; and turn on air cond on high [ wear winter nighties ] 3] prob take a few days to air out PS: Lysol toilet bowl cleaner [ check smell of any cleaner before you buy it ]
all carpet is glued together with chemical compounds. it can give off one head ache smell. and it is bad for you. since this is a rug you can simply hang it out to air for a day. that should get most of it out. febreeze helps too. as far as the toilet. any with an angled neck, that with a good brush and regular cleaning will mean you do not get unsightly stains

Is this the same rug I just answered about? I didn't know it was brand new! I assumed it was just old and funky. Try Carpet Fresh or any sprinkley carpet freshener. If it is really giving you a headache it is most likely just new fiber smell. Kinda like new car smell but different materials. In which case it will fade soon enough. but if it is really making your head hurt, take it outside and lay it out in the sun for a day or two. The ultra violet rays should cook off that new fiber smell a bit.
