You should use good ventilation to the outside, and, if you want, an
air cleaner that traps volatile chemicals (the outgassing is somewhat
toxic).

Don't add baking soda. It acts as an abrasive, and what you can't get
out will eventually wear on the base of the carpet fibres.

I once bought a powder from a place in Iowa that you sprinkle all over
new carpet and it sucks the toxic odors out...anybody remember what it
is called?

Also, could I just use baking soda and then vacuum it up after a few
days?

Anybody got any other ideas?
