can you lift up part of the carpet to see/smell what's happening underneath?
well, clearly you _can_, but will you? ;-) that would at least help you
decide if it's the carpet because the floor was never dried properly (which
sounds rather likely), or something else. if the floor was still damp, i'm
unsure that applying a product from the top will really fix the problem...
