Let us know how it goes.

The smells and mold is what I'm worried about also. Would a steam cleaner work better or just the same than the vinegar? I bought myself some carpet cleaner and planned on doing this soon using the spray and brush and vacuum method. Do you think that will work effectively?

It's been a tough winter in Toronto.
