What are the dangers of unsanitary carpets?

We recently moved into a base house with two children ages 6mo and 3 years to find that the previous tenents' dogs peed EVERYWHERE! We got ahold of the housing office, and they are replacing our entire carpets, however, my son now has a ringworm on his arm? Lawsuitable?

1. you can do that..but it will make things complicated..its just only a ring worm and it can easily be treated..why not talk to the ownwer and discuss a better way to solve your prob..
2. As a professional house cleaner I would suggest TSP diluted heavily as this is a strong cleaner. You can find it at your local hardware store (Eagle, Home Depot, etc.). It works very well for cleaning tobacco off of walls and especially kitchen cabinets. As for the smell, TSP doesn't do that good of job. I use Simple Green (which I buy by the gallon at Costco) and dilute it 50/50 with water. This is a de-greaser so works great in the kitchen too! I clean with it all the time and the gallon will last me about 2 years for $6.00. Remember not to just paint the walls...tobacco will seep through paint. It is essential to wash it off before painting!
