You need to clean up and vaccum all standing flood water from the top and bottom of your carpet. The only way to do this is to pull up the carpet from the wall, remove and throw out the padding. This padding can never be dried properly so it will have to be replaced. Then you must have several professional air moving high speed blowers put into place to dry out the existing carpeting, floors and walls before installing the new padding and re-installing the carpet. Then the carpet has to be properly sanitized and cleaned with a strong germicade to kill all bacteria that could lead to smells and odor. This is a complicated and time consuming process.

What to do when your Chicago carpets get flooded
The first thing you must do when your carpets experience a major flash flood from heavy rains or a busted pipe is to immediately get all of your items off of the carpet. You want to save your valuables and also you don't want any rust staining or bleeding of furniture stain to discolor your carpet. Rust stains and wood furniture bleeding does not come out of your carpet. So move everything off of your rug. Then you must take the first important step of removing your padding that's underneath the carpeting. You must remove your padding because you will never dry it out by leaving it fester beneath the carpet. If you do not get the padding removed and all water vaccumed out of your carpets withing 24-48 hours then the nasty smell of mold and mildew will set in. This is why you must call a professional carpet cleaner . Then High power blowers must be placed underneath the carpets to let them flap and dry. The drying process will take up to 3 days. After your carpets are fully dry then you must have your carpet cleaning professional place new padding down and then re-install the carpeting. Before your carpets are re-installed they must be professionally cleaned with a germicide and a sanitizer to kill all mold and mildew. When your carpet is cleaned, sanitized, germicided and properly installed then your carpet cleaning professional must spray down a sanitizing and odor killing solution to insure no return of any foul odors.

This blog will compliment chicago carpet cleaners located on the web at http://www.lincolnparkcarpetcleaners.com/ . here you will find simple tips on how to care for your fine carpets, oriental rugs and furniture.
1. PET URINE FECES AND VOMIT...when your dog or cat stains your rug you must give it immediate attention in order to prevent permanent stain and stubborn odor. when your pet urinates on your rug you must immediately get a dry towel and blot the area to try and soak up any excess urine. then get some laundry detergent such as tide and put a table spoon into half a gallon water. then take a rag and put it in the soap solution and swoosh briskly to make a lot of foam. use this foam and a little bit of the water solution to scrub the area where the pet has soiled. scrub for a few minutes and then get a dry towel and place it one the stained area. apply a heavy object over the towel and let sit over night. the next day apply a semi-lite amount of white vinegar on the stained area. it is highly recommended that at this point call us out to come and professionally steam clean and deodorize the trouble area. IF YOUR CARPET IS A FINE FABRIC LIKE WOOL then you will need to call for emergency service to clean the pet stain because fine fabrics like wool and cotton are prone to immediate staining if not treated right away. DO THIS SAME PROCESS FOR FECES AND VOMIT STAINS.
