Suggest you start by cleaning your keyboard -- looks like you spilled
something sticky near the ";" key.

I would just vacuum thoroughly. Is there any mold on it? Is there anything
there causing an odor?
As far as cleaning an old house.........lots of time and elbow grease.

For the concrete, tri sodium phosphate (TSP) available at Home Depot,
etc. TSP is highly effective on concrete (and boilers), but be prepared
to do a great rinse job, prior to the carpet gluing.

If you let them put the carpet down they'll be able to help you clean
the concrete.  Tell them to leave it inside in case it rains.
