I bought one of those mcobeauty fragrances from Woolies last week and it’s rank, I hate it. At first it smells like caramel icecream but as it starts to wear off, it smells like straight up ass! Well my husband thought it would be a good idea to use it as an air freshener and sprayed it through the whole house after he cleaned yesterday. Rugs, lounges, beds, carpets EVERYTHING! How can I get the smell out? Bed sheets have been washed and I’m going to steam clean the lounges tomorrow but the carpets and the rugs. Obviously they can be steam cleaned too but I don’t have time for that. Is there an easier option? The smell is making me feel sick. I keep spraying air freshener, lighting incenses and candles but it makes it smell even worse. You know the smell when you try to cover up a shit smell and it ends up smelling even more like shit? Yeah that smell 😂

Open up all windows and doors and air the house out. For nice smell I just use a essential oil diffuser that’s all I’ve ever used, we don’t buy or use any sprays. I sometimes buy or make my own candles as well, from soy flakes and essential oils. We we really only use candles and the diffuser for a nice house smell
@Kellie your comment doesn't actually give any advice on how to actually get rid of bad odours that are in carpets and rugs, just hope to make a house she'll nice 😆
@Estelle I said open all windows and doors and air it out
Bicarb and a steam clean. If that doesn't work, maybe something like febreeze, or an odour eliminator, like this; https://www.xo2.com.au/shop/odour-kill-professional-odour-remover-treatment-18427#attr=483,479
You can use bicarb soda, it neutralises odours. A house I lived in years ago had one bedroom that I think the previous owners kept dogs in, it had a really strong dog smell, even though the carpets had been cleaned. I emptied a whole box of bicarb soda onto the carpet, left it there for a week and then vacuumed it up and the smell was gone
