Hello all,
I am hoping that someone can provide me with a little more information...
In our bedroom, we figure that either our puppy peed on the carpet, or that an old damp towel was sitting on the carpet under our bed, and we now have a musty/moldy smell in our room. I am pretty sure I have nailed down that the smell is coming from the carpet in a 6" round spot. (was on my hands and knees smelling around.. and the odour was centralized in that spot.
I have tried differnet enzyme cleaners on the carpet, and am pretty sure that the mold is in the underpadding.
Is it a difficult task to replace underpadding?. I do now know much about carpet, but am assuming that I would need to remove the carpet from the tack strips, somehow remove the underpadding (isn't it glued on??) replace it, and then replace the carpet back on the tack strips.... I see talk on stretching, glued carpets, etc... What am I in for if I want to do this myself?
