Bought an old house with STINKY non-cleanable 50 year old carpet. Ripped it out and found hardwood floors! Got them refinished and of course for about 2 weeks had that strong varnish odor. I vented my house by leaving windows open and fans on in the summer. It was gone. The whole reason I ripped out the carpet is to get rid of the smell. But now that it is winter I walk in and it reaks like wood. It is not a nice smell of wood. It is stinky and very strong. I am not sure how to really explain it....has anyone else had this problem? I have washed it with vinegar, mopped it with swifter wet jet and even used Pet odor remover liquid since it has enzymes that kill odor and nothing has helped.....
