Restoring water-damaged carpets requires prompt action to prevent mould and permanent damage. Start by removing any furniture and using towels to soak up as much water as possible. Use a wet/dry vacuum to extract deeper moisture. Next, lift the carpet and remove the soaked underlay if necessary. Dry the area thoroughly using fans, dehumidifiers, and open windows for ventilation. Clean the carpet with a mild detergent or a vinegar-water solution to eliminate bacteria and odours. Rinse and extract again. Once completely dry, assess the damage—if the carpet is salvageable, reinstall it with a new underlay. For severe cases, consider professional help.
