I've had very good results with the "Rug Doctor" ones available at
Lowes or the grocery; at least on regular interior (of the house)
carpeting. They have an upholstery nozzle you can get for a few
extra $$, but I've not tried it personally. They also have an odor
remover additive that worked well on the cigarette stench my former
roommate left me with.
Be careful with Febreeze. I used it on some indoor carpeting
recently, and it stinks worse than before! I started in a bedroom
with lingering dog odor from some guest's pets. It seemed to help,
and left the carpet closer to "odor neutral". So I figured if a
little was good a lot must be better, and did a 2nd bedroom, hallway
area rug, and office chair with a heavier application than the first
room. BWARF! 2 weeks later there is still a lingering chemical /
perfume smell that's much worse a little dawg. Use the stuff
sparingly, and perhaps only on a small area first.
