    mildew smell
    hi my name is omar. I recently had a water leak in the basement (finished) and part of the carpet got soaked. ( 2' x 6') I tried to clean w/a carpet cleaner, but the mildew smell is still there. I also tried to air out the basement. Is there anything I can do to get rid of the smell?

    Only if you rip out the carpet and replace it.
