Whether you have wall-to-wall carpeting or just a few area rugs, your carpets take a beating over time. You walk on them daily, spill on them, and vacuum them less often than you probably should. Plus, more than other surfaces in your house, like your walls or floors, carpets are porous. They’re made of fibers, with lots of nooks and crannies between the weaves or pile, meaning there are lots of spots to absorb odors.
Smoke is a tough smell — maybe it’s a habit, or you’ve burned something in the oven, or had a fire (this just happened to us recently when our fireplace dramatically malfunctioned!). Pets are another one. I mean, I love dogs, but some breeds have a pretty distinctive smell that only those fur-baby daddies and mommies can love.
You can spot-clean a carpet for stains or steam-clean it for disinfection, but if your carpet is in otherwise good shape and you’re just noticing a persistent smell in the room, you might want to deodorize it. And fortunately, you may already have the tool you need in your pantry!
