New Carpets and Pet Safety 09:10 - Jul 19 with 3349 viewsSwailsey

I think this is potentially my worst thread title ever, sorry.

Because I trust TWTD slightly more than Reddit and/or Mumsnet, I have a question.

I’ve had new carpets put in my house in every room except one - the living room.

I hadn’t ever thought of this, but someone mentioned that the ‘new carpet’ smell can be harmful to pets and sometimes humans.

My old kitty is pretty poorly with kidney disease, and now I’m convinced I’ve given him a death sentence. Is this hyperbole?

Should me and him sleep in the living room for a couple of nights with the windows open?

If you give me advice and he dies horribly I won’t blame you.

There seems to be quite a lot of articles about potential hazards eg

Advice seems as suggested above to give the room a good airing.

If there’s no wriggle-out option (laid within last 14 days? If it makes household members ill?), I’d advise leaving all windows and doors open as much as possible for as long as possible to allow a breeze blowing through to speed up gassing off. At least you’ve got the weather for that.


I gas off in all weathers.
