Hi!
I have this horrible smelling porch. We bought the house about a year ago and the people who had lived in it previously had a little dog that they used to let out the front to use the bathroom but the dog preferred the glued down, commercial carpet that is on the porch over the grass. We tried several chemical options to get rid of the smell but after a year, have had no luck. The carpet is really stuck down, I don't have much experience with glue-down carpet and was hoping someone would have some suggestions on how to disolve the adhesive and treat the concrete for an permeating smells. I am considering tiling the concrete with some slate or something so that is definitely an option.
Thanks so much!
