steam clean it! carpet cleaners wont get rid of the smell

Trust me, if it was immersed in water for over a week, you'll never get the smell completely gone. If it were me, I'd hire a rug doctor, use the rug doctor spray (that shit is pretty good at getting stuff off carpet, as well as deodorising) as well, then leave it in the sun to dry. The carpet fibres absorb any liquid pretty quickly, and can almost be impossible to get clean.

could always put in washing machine also (depending on machine and how hard backed the carpet is)

[quote="RS13"]then leave it in the sun to dry. quote]

after you wash it, leaving it in the sun will kill anything. just make sure you dont leave it out to early and late (dew), however you need it out there till its bone dry, probley gonna take a while as were just leaving summer :evil:
