My poor DDs room! I should first say we moved into this house a month ago and it has stank since we moved in so no idea what it is and not responsible. DH calls it a "teenage boy smell". I can only liken it to a time when DH was particularly sweaty after a workout in a dirty t-shirt and I couldn't get it washed quick enough.
I am assuming the smell is coming from the carpet as we have changed the curtains and there was nothing else in there when we moved in.
The carpet is not very thick or soft and it sounds sort of crispy when you walk on it. I know, horrible, but DH is resisting getting it changed before we get the ceiling skimmed (another story!) and it looks like we are going to be waiting a month for that. I just can't stand the smell any longer! I am 7m pregnant which doesn't help my tolerance I guess but DH can smell it too.
So far we've been over it a couple of times a week with a decent vacuum but also 3× with a carpet cleaner (bissell , I think proheat pet, worked wonders at the old place and on other carpets in the new place). Twice we have tried just drenching the thing in febreeze and DH did a shake n vac. I genuinely don't think the smell has gone down at all!
Any tips on what else I can try?
(Or just talk me down from ripping the whole thing out myself)
