Hoping Mumsnetters can help! We had a new carpet fitted several weeks ago and it has a persistent unpleasant odour to it that I can only describe as like a farmyard ie like manure! I can also detect that more usual new carpet smell (which i quite like) alongside it but the overriding stench is the farmyard one. Funnily enough, one of the houses I used to live had a relatively new carpet and I could also detect a similar smell, albeit more faintly. Someone i know suggested it was the glue used to fit it but the fitters left a roll of spare carpet that obviously has not come into contact with any glue and this also reeks. Does anybody have any experience of this and what did you do about it? I've been airing the house for a fortnight and it's made little difference. By the way it's a wool /polypropylene mix.
