Deodorising carpets safely

Has anyone used bicarbonate soda mixed with essential oils to deodorise their carpet? If so, is it considered safe for buns? My carpets stink We have just used a rug doctor on them and now they smell even worse!
Any other usuggestions welcome!

Damp carpets smell - so you may just need to give it a few days to dry out properly. Bicarb is good at sorting out smells - rub it in, leave for a few hours and vacuum out again. I wouldn't use essential oils on a carpet.

I have a steamer. It's works wonders, and I open all the windows ..

Weirdly I never thought about a steamer. Can you recommend a good one?
It still smells so I'm trying bicarbonate of soda on a small patch to see if it helps any.
