Can you remove pet odors from my carpets?

We deal with removing pet odors all the time and realise it is a very common problem in most households. We deal with a lot of cases of pet odors that become much deeper then they initially appear. Pet urine can easily soak through the backing of your carpet and into the padding underneath. At times it can be even more severe when the urine penetrates into the sub-floor beneath the padding. We call this a multi-layered problem. Depending on how long the urine has been in your carpet sometimes it starts to grow bacteria worsening the odors and damaging your carpets colour and fiber. In these cases we do out best to neutralise and remove the urine from each effected layer. If it is too deep we may have to replace the carpet however we can not guarantee removal of the odors but we can do out best to fix your pet odors problem. It is very important that you don't leave your problem untreated because it can be harmful to your health.

All residential carpets should be professionally cleaned a minimum of every 12 to 18 months AND as soon as possible after the carpet has been heavily soiled or stained. Prompt attention by a professional will provide the correct treatment and best results.

Will carpet cleaning destroy the stain-resist treatment?

No. It is not necessary to reapply the stain-resist treatment after every carpet cleaning service, depending on how frequently the carpet is cleaned.

No. Frequent cleaning of the carpet will help keep maintain its original appearance.

It is recommended that high-traffic areas (doorways, hallways, etc) and areas of heavy-soiling (near kitchen, dining room, rumpus room, etc) are cleaned more frequently than the other areas.

Between professional carpet cleaning services remember to vacuum at least weekly with a good quality vacuum in proper working order. Allowing dry soils to accumulate in the carpet pile causes permanent fibre damage, resulting in a dirty and dull appearance.

Dust mites live on dead skin and require warm, damp conditions to survive. They are rarely found in dry carpet.
