Most pet parents agree that removing pet urine stains and odors at home is a daily struggle. It’s twice the fun (or trouble) when you have young pets adjusting to a new environment. It can take a few days to a few weeks to train your furry family members where the proper place for bodily waste is.
Yes, you love your pets, and you treat them like family. But you also have to deal with stinky carpets because of these hard to eradicate odors.
Traditional carpet cleaning products with strong chemicals cannot break down the uric acid crystals; thus, they don’t work in all cases. Although some household remedies provide temporary relief, experts recommend that you seek professional help to remove pet odors and stains entirely.
Identify the spots where your pet previously urinated before you start retraining them. Pets mark their territories, so you must remove any traces of smell to prevent them from returning to the same place. If you are uncertain where your pet made himself at home, try to use a black light.
Pet liquid waste seeps into the carpet padding and subfloor. Urine that’s the size of a baseball on the surface will become the size of a beach ball on the carpet lining. Cleaning it with ordinary household soaps will only mask the problem. Therefore, if you have lots of pet urine on your carpet, your best option is to call a
professional carpet cleaner.
Stains from pet urine and waste are hard to remove. Prevention is the key. Here are tips to help reduce pet stains and odors in your household.
Determine your pet’s frequency of urination throughout the day. Puppies and kittens need to pee more frequently than their adult counterparts. Try not to punish your pet pal when they have accidents in the house. Negative reinforcement is usually ineffective. When possible, move them to the correct spot if you suspect that they are about to go. Additionally, when your pets have finished using the bathroom, praise and reward them with treats and toys.
Invest in pee pads that are the correct size for your pet. Put the pad in an easily accessible area—preferably on a tile or wood floor, where you want your pet to eliminate. Before your pet pal goes number two, take him to the pad until he makes it a habit. Praise your furry pal every time he does it on the pad.
The longer your pet waste remains in your carpet, the harder it will be to remove. If you spot solid pet waste, immediately scoop it out. When there’s a wet spot nearby, your pet buddy could also have urinated, and you must dry it fast using a paper towel. Pet owners don't always know where their pet pal has gone. And before you know it, your whole house now has an awful smell.
Urine that’s left soaked in your carpet for more than 12 hours will begin to oxidize and react with the carpet fibers creating a color change. This color may become permanent if not cleaned immediately.
Keeping cats and dogs in your home helps alleviate stress. You can play with them to relieve your worries or cuddle them for comfort. But when your pet becomes a constant source of stress and marks the entire house with their waste, it may be time to re-train them to potty. Afterward, call a
professional carpet cleaning company
in your area and schedule a visit. Their carpet cleaners are trained to provide the best solution to your rather smelly carpet situation.

Hot water extraction, also known as steam cleaning, is the recommended approach for most carpets. We use water that is heated to 230 degrees and a powerful, German engineered, vacuum to deeply clean and extract all of the dirt, impurities and pet urine that can accumulate in your carpet and the pad.
Our company has a business insurance policy so that you can be sure we are adequately covered.
Our professional cleaning unit is truck-mounted and the vacuum is quite powerful. This allows us to remove almost all of the water that is used to clean your carpets and area rugs. We also implement the use of downdraft fans to speed up the drying time. As a result, the average drying time is about 6-8 hours. Your carpets or rugs will feel dry to the touch at that time, but you should wait to move any wood furniture to the area for 24 hours. This level of expertise and service is just one more reason to trust us for your home cleaning needs.
The cost of your professional carpet cleaning services is based on the square footage of the carpet or area rug.

Carpet cleaners should be fair and we are dedicated to excellent services at a fair price.
We all love our pets, but we should be aware that they can sometimes have accidents. When their urine mixes with moisture, it creates an alkaline salt that gives off an unpleasant odor. Moreover, the area where the urine is spilled can become a fertile breeding ground for bacteria. There are various methods available for addressing this issue. First Option: If the carpet is severely dirty, it will be necessary to remove it and clean both sides. Additionally, the padding will have to be swapped out, and the will need to be treated with a Bio-modifier and sealed. Second Option: For cases that are moderately severe, we can use our decontamination products extensively on the affected area, and clean the area further using a subsurface cleaning tool. Third Option: For slight contamination, we will use the Urine decontamination product on the surface. After application, we will allow it to rest and then extract it. An enzyme post-treatment will be applied to all options.
Unfortunately, we cannot guarantee pet stain removal due to the numerous factors that play a role in both the formation and removal of such stains. Urine stains from pets can have different characteristics depending on factors such as the age of the pet, any medications they may be taking, and the dyes in their food that were not fully metabolized. Another factor to consider is whether the urine was from the morning or the afternoon. Additional variables that may affect the outcome include the duration of the stain and any previous treatment it may have received prior to our arrival. We possess extensive expertise and certification from the IICRC, which means we will exercise utmost caution and deliver optimal results for you.
To ensure smooth cleaning, kindly clear furniture of any lamps, knickknacks, electronics, and plants. We can help move light furniture such as sofas, coffee tables, and nightstands. However, we cannot move large furniture such as beds, china cabinets, pianos, dressers with mirrors, and other immovable items. If you want those areas cleaned, please move the items before we arrive.
Most people opt for professional carpet cleaning once a year, although the carpet cleaning industry recommends doing it every 18 months. Insoluble soil can damage carpet fibers by scratching and causing marring.As, we produce a biofilm consisting of shed skin and oils that can transfer onto surfaces in our homes. Over time, this biofilm can begin to emit unpleasant odors. To maintain good indoor air quality, reduce allergens, and keep your home clean for pets and children, it's recommended to have your carpet cleaned at least once a year.

Many customers try to clean their rugs with rented carpet cleaning equipment. The advantage of a professional carpet cleaner for your oriental rugs, area rugs and large bounded carpets is that those types of carpet cleaners are not strong enough to extract all of the oils, dirt and stains from your rugs.

Sofa and upholstery cleaning services are a perfect addition when you have carpet cleaners already in your home. You don't need your couch cleaned as frequently as your carpets, but periodic upholstery cleaning service is going to remove the stains, odors and dirt that build up over time.
