Opening the Windows This Summer Might Bring Forth a Musty Smell, and If It’s from Your Carpets, There IS Something You Can Do About It

musty smell in carpetMost of the time, when summer arrives and we start opening the windows in our homes, we associate that with wonderful, fresh air. However, sometimes it can bring forth a musty smell.

Often times, this is due to the carpeting or area rugs inside the house.

It would seem that this musty smell would be prevalent all the time, especially during the winter when those windows and doors are sealed up tight to keep the cold air out. In fact, that smell is still there, but you notice much more when the weather starts warming up and have an opportunity to open the windows for a little while. Then, you have a direct contrast between that mustiness and the fresh air pouring in.

How can you get rid of that musty smell?

The most effective way is by having your carpets professionally cleaned. If they are not more than eight or 10 years old, a quality carpet cleaning company should have the tools, solutions, and experienced to help restore those carpets to almost new condition.

Don’t mistake this statement as a blanket claim that even older carpeting can be restored to like new condition; each house, each carpeting, and each factor is going to be different, but the point is that you can truly get rid of a lot of that mustiness, the stale odor that may have been lingering all winter and that you just had grown accustomed to.

How much is this going to cost?

That all depends on the size the house, the area of the floor surfaces, the company itself, the equipment they use, how much experience they have, and many other factors. A company like Royal Interior Cleaning will provide an honest estimate and, if the carpet is too old or has too many issues, they will explain clearly why it may be more practical, effective, and efficient to have them replaced.
