My favorite DIY method to get rid of carpet smells is vinegar. I don’t know exactly how it works, but vinegar will overpower the bad smell, and once the smell of vinegar disappears, the bad smell will often be gone with it. If it isn’t, you can just spray more vinegar on the area and keep repeating the process until the smell is gone.
I used to use that trick all the time back when I lived in Taunton. I had a couple of big dogs that would occasionally make a mess, so this trick was a lifesaver. That said, this trick works best if you can locate and target the smelly spot. If your whole carpet just smells bad or funky, it’s usually best to just hire a carpet cleaning company. As the County Cleaning Somerset website shows, these companies have all sorts of tools to leave carpets smelling brand new.
