A washer leaked and it made it to the carpet. Now it smells soured and nasty. How can I get that smell out. It smells like the padding below the carpet as well as the carpet itself.

Patty asked:

I have recently decided to pull up my carpet and when I did I found I have hardwood floors but the people that put down the carpet before I moved in instead of using new padding used the old carpet and used carpet adhesive on the whole floor. We are having a difficult time getting it up. Does anyone know an easy way to get the adheisive and old padding off the wood floors?

I am looking for a site that sells small triangular rugs to stick on individual metal stairs on an indoor spiral staircase. Mine is metal and hard and cold and it has ridges that hurt my feet if I do not have shoes on. Maybe I can cut my own from some rug fabric and padding? How would I make it stick and be sure it is safe and won’t slip? We rent and it can not be permanant. Ideas? Help! Thank you!
