Our basement flooded, is there a product that will absorp the water left in the carpet after cleaning? Kim?

Question

Our basement recently flooded and we have used the shop vac to get most of the water out of the carpeting but there is still some of the mildew smell left. I thought I saw a product that will absorb the remaining water and eliminate the mildew smell.

Any suggestions?

Thank You!

I do not know of this product - but I would try to get my hands on an" Electrolux" carpet shampoo machine and give it a  dry shampoo.

This machine just brushes the caret with a  special foam cleaner that crystallizes when it is dry.   If you could do this out in the sun it will dry faster, after which  you just vacuum off the

crystallized powder-like cleaner.  

This will be the only good way to save your carpet I think - the sun also disinfects things
