Extractors, and dehum. Sounds like what the Methodist folks
are doing. That's encouraging, they should have good
results. These cellar carpets are glued down. With racks of

not desirable option.

Wonder what was in the disinfectant spray?

* The "disaster recovery" guys around here do a pretty good
job with
extractors (basically high powered wet vacs), powerfull
fans, and big
dehumidifiers. They use some kind of disinfectant type spray
too. We
had a flood at the office - a waper line broke and put up to
2 inches
of water over the wool rugs - over 6000 sq ft - and although
it took a
week to dry, they are just like new, and fresh as a daisy.
Being glued
down, lifting an edge was not an option, and at $39 a yard
for
material alone, replacement was not a tolerable option
either.

You don't want to extract any air. It defeats the dehumidifiers. The
room needs to be shut up tight. No point in letting more air/water
in.
The fan just wants to churn the air round the roomso the dehumidifier
can get the water.
