Re: soggy rocco

While you're at it you may want to dispose of that ugly felt/foam 
sound-proofing material under the carpet. Then drop by your local flooring 
store and pickup some carpet underlay - the really good stuff. It is fairly 
dense, about the same thickness as what you took out, and mildew resistant. 
Use this instead of waiting for the original stuff to dry out 'cuase, as 
Cathy said, that stuff stinks when it's wet...
