Today I was visiting a Chrisitan church, that has clothing

the carpets in the cellar, and they are concerned about

They are concerned about mildew, drying, etc. The workers
were doing what they could with shop vac. And the three
dehumidifiers which run nearly all the time.

I was thinking carpet shampoo, and extraction. Mix a little
clorox in with the shampoo. What else might help for wet
cellar carpets?


I've seen ozone generators used along with the other steps you mentioned
to help clear the air of odor. I believe rental stores carry them.

Not kind to rubber carpet backing and certain foams etc - but quite
effective AFTER things stat to smell. Not sure if it will prevent the
smell.
