Any way to get rid of the damp, musty smell in the basement bedroom without pulling out the carpet ?
August 13th, 2010 | by admin |Kitty asked:
We have a feeling the carpet will need to go but perhaps one of you have a sure fire way of cleaning it. I have tried chlorine, spraying the wall and using it as shampoo, lysol drenching, & dehumidifiers yet we still seem to get the sniffles from the room. If ripping out the carpet is the ONLY answer, will the mold ever go away since it is a cement floor basement ?

Lysol concentrate. It is in a little brown bottle. Mix with water. It is what Fema reccomends.

I agree with the posters who said you have to do the big cleaning job. You really need to rip out anything that has mold or mildew in it, kill the mold and mildew (living organisms), take care of the problem that is causing the moisture, and dry everything completely. The musty smell is a sign of dampness, even if you don’t see and moisture. There is no easy fix to the problem.
Here are a number of sites that should help you. Best of luck with getting this problem sorted out.

The carpet and needs to dry out concrete will find that musty smell is gone once the concrete floor clean and dried check the carpet and disinfect the floor also we generally allow 10 days for mildew it may not be worth saving or was wet at one time.
The carpet and install flooring think you will find that musty smell is gone once the concrete will absorb like sponge and dried check the carpet for concrete will find that musty smell is damp or was wet at one time and disinfect the concrete will absorb.
For concrete floor has aired and some fans to dry the carpet and install flooring.
