Pet Odor Removal

People who own a pet know that pet odors can sometimes be a problem. Cat owners are particularly aware of this-if their pet odor remains, they will keep on coming to the same spot every time. Pets who are prone to "accidents" can give your home an unpleasant aroma.

Chicago Carpet Cleaning uses different products that can wipe out urine and fecal odors from carpets and furniture. Some contain enzymes that will actually break down the source of the odor. Odors should be eliminated when they first happen, because the longer the source of an odor stays on a surface, the harder it will be to get rid of. Waiting too long requires professional cleaning services to eliminate these unpleasant odors.

Tips For Pet Odor Removal

If you are a pet owner, chances are that you will have to live with pet odor at some point in time. Sometimes you can solve the problem by yourself. If not, you will need professional attention.

Step 1: Pinpoint the source of the pet odor

This seems like an easy task, right? But when you look for the pet stain, it might be invisible to you. Because pet odors don't always mean they are accompanied by an easily visible stain.

One way to find a spot is to actually get down on your hands and knees and sniff your way to the dreadful odor. If this isn't your style, there is a better method. Pet urine contains salts that are visible under black light. You can buy an inexpensive black light (for about ten bucks). Turn off all the lights in the room and close all curtains. Then you turn on the black light and start searching the carpet. Pet stains will shine when the black light is pointed at them.

Step 2: Treat the odor

Now that you've identified the spot you can start treating it-but it might not be so easy. That's because urine sometimes soaks not only into the carpet, but all the way through to the backing, the padding, and sometimes even the floor beneath.

If this is the case, you cannot simply wipe the spot away. You will have to take a trip to the pet store and buy an enzyme spotter. This enzyme solution will actually eat the proteins in the urine that the bacteria are feeding on. That's the key, because it's the bacteria that causes the odor. This protein eating process could take several days until the odor is gone.

"What if I can't remove the odor?"

Have you given the enzyme sufficient time to work? Occasionally the smell gets worse before it gets better. If your efforts haven't succeeded in doing the job, and the pet odor continues, you may have to call in a professional (contact us). Professional pet odor removal services have more powerful ways of treatment. Carpet Cleaning Chicago for example will come to your residence and give you a free inspection and estimate.

If the problem is particularly serious, the professional service may have to change padding, seal the sub floor, change tack strip, or even install an ozone generator to neutralize the odor. Depending on the severity of your problem, they may have to replace affected padding, seal the sub floor, replace tack strip or even install an ozone generator to neutralize the odor.

Pay close attention to your pet after treatment. Pet odors that cannot be detected by humans, but can be picked up by pets; they often return to the 'scene of the crime' and be a "repeat offender". If you know that your pet does not usually have accidents in the house, visit your veterinarian. Your pet might have a urinary tract infection. There are other causes though; these include a change in environment the (say, a recent move), a new addition to the household (a baby, another pet), or a change in your diet. Animals sometimes respond to stress by making spots on your carpet.

If you cannot solve the problem yourself, please feel free to contact us for a free estimate.
