I have lived in my apartment for the past year and my lease is up for renewal at the end of this month....... I am afraid my landlord isn't going to renew my lease and will force me to move out in 2 weeks unless I can get rid of the pet odor and I don't know what else to try to clean it with because I can't just start ripping up the carpet since its an apartment...
I have 7 ferrets and over the past year they've had a lot of accidents.. I always pick it up and spray the carpet when I see it and I thought that was keeping it controlled but I guess not, it has gotten harder to keep up with because one of my ferrets is elderly and has cancer and goes to the bathroom literally everywhere because he is incontinent, its not his fault he just cant make it to the litter box anymore..
But now the odor has gotten so bad the landlord said you can smell it in the hallway.. I have tried EVERYTHING I can think of to get rid of this odor but no matter what I do even when it seems fine for a few days after I first clean it the odor ALWAYS comes back within a week....
I bought a carpet shampooer and I've used 2 whole bottles of Natures Miracle carpet shampoo on it, I've literally shampood the carpet atleast 10 times in the last month with different products since she complained about the strong odor, it gets rid of the smell for a few days but it comes back... I tried steam cleaning the carpet with straight vinegar and diluted vinegar... I've poured straight vinegar onto the carpet because I was so desperate... I've doused the carpet in baking soda multiple times and left it sit over night... I've tried those scented carpet powders from the store... the smell JUST KEEPS COMING BACK....
I have a system now where I can keep the odor from reaching the hallway if I shampoo the carpet once or twice a week, leave my windows cracked slightly, burn candles and incense all day long, and leave a towel shoved under the cracks of the door with some dryer sheets under the door cracks too and put a freshmatic automatic airfresher in the hallway.... but I want the odor to be gone for good, I'm tired of stressing about it and living like this, I'm living with constant anxiety every day that I'm going to wake up to another text from my landlord about the odor or an eviction notice on my door..
I need a way to fix this, I'll do anything because I don't want to lose my home... I love living here and to be honest I don't know if I'll EVER find another apartment that will allow me to have my 7 ferrets and 2 dogs so I NEED to fix this.. I can't lose my home and my babies.... I'm desperate, please help :'(
