My drain hose recently came lose from my washing machine, and now my whole hall carpet has been flooded with TONS of water!! I got a lot of the water out by using my carpet shampooer, but it is STILL not completely dry (even with huge fan blowing for 2 days straight now) and my carpet is now begining to smell funky and where the washer was sitting, there is black mold/mildew stain!! I can’t afford a professional service right now……any suggestions??? thanks
note: I want to thank everyone who responded to my question – you were all very helpful.
The carpet is dry now, and the pad feels dry, but I think I am going to have to shampoo it and everything. Thanks so much to everyone….I really appreciate your input.
