Call the flood experts; since 1988, Steam ‘n’ Dry Carpet Auckland Flood Services in South Auckland, North Shore, East, and West Auckland.
When there is a flood in your house, it can damage your floors, belongings and even the structure of your home. Below are our top tips for cleaning and drying your home after a major leak or flood.
Note: Before starting the clean-up process, ensure that it is safe to do so, as structural damage is not always visible. For insurance records, take photos and videos throughout the clean-up process. Most importantly, always wear protective clothing, a face mask, and sensible footwear when cleaning up after a flood.
Unhappily, having a wet carpet is different from having a dusty one. Indeed, our vacuum cleaners could not be of any help. Thus, depending on how terrible it is when flooded or soaked in water, you may be unable to keep your carpet. Here, you will discover tips and instructions on eliminating wet carpet smell.

Indeed, a great deal will depend on how badly the flooded carpet is. A small amount of seepage on a rug may be salvageable. However, a sewage-contaminated flooded rug will require disposal. If the damage is less severe, you may clean the carpet. But watch out for any health issues that may develop.
The wet carpet is not easy to clean. It can be a considerable challenge to make sure that there is no mildew growth and odour troubles. Due to the health risks of damaged flood carpets, you should always wear rubber gloves and a protective mask while cleaning the carpet.
Things To Do In Case You Have Wet Carpets
If the carpet is not glued down, roll it up and drag it outside into a garage or terrace. When the rug is stapled or tacked, remove the staples.
If the carpet is wall to wall and too heavy or massive to move outside, you can get many old chairs or workhorses and prop it up so the air can flow from bottom to top.

If you cannot remove the floor’s carpet, you must rent or buy a commercial-sized wet-dry shop vac. It will let you suck most of the water out of the rug. It is a slow process; however, it is a very efficient one.
Remember that your carpet most likely has an underlay, which is among the most significant troubles for odour. It’s also the least expensive piece to replace, so remove the old underlay and replace it with a new underlay. Call the flood experts. Since 1988, Steam ‘n’ Dry Carpet Auckland Flood Services has been in South Auckland, North Shore, East, and West Auckland. You can use your shop vac to pull out all the water and moisture if you cannot remove it.
Carpet Cleaning
However, when you remove all the water from the carpet, you will have to clean the carpet. Please do this yourself, or hire a professional carpet cleaner to take care of it. You will desire to use a good quality cleaning detergent and a sanitiser. A commercial-strength product is ideal. Ensures you eliminate all moulds, mildew, and bacteria. Call the flood experts. Since 1988, Steam ‘n’ Dry Carpet Auckland Flood Services has been in South Auckland, North Shore, East, and West Auckland. Ammonia works fine and is very economical to buy.
If you have removed the carpet from the house, you can soak it with a garden hose and start sweeping at one end, working your way back and forth on the rug. Go over the wash and rinse cycle until the water runs clean and there aren’t any further signs of dirt or debris.
Carpet Drying And Wet Carpet Smell
When you have washed the carpet, it is essential to dry the carpet as quickly as possible to avoid mildew from forming. One successful technique is with large fans, dehumidifiers, and heaters. Begin by utilising your wet and dry shop vac to suck out as much water as possible, and then use your fans and heaters.
Even fans with no heat aid but continuously moving the air continue drying. Of course, if you can provide far better heat. The quicker you can dry the carpet, the better. You must also ensure it’s scorched before placing it back on the floor. Just being a little damp can cause a mildew dilemma.
Before placing the carpet back on the floor, please ensure you have washed and disinfected the floor. It will prevent mildew and wet carpet smell from developing. Dry the floor as much as possible with an air conditioner or dehumidifier to remove the moisture.
When you remove the wet carpet smell, you can continue using the carpet with no odours or danger to health.
