Pet Odor Removal

People who own a pet know that pet odors can sometimes be an annoyance. Cat owners are particularly aware of their unwelcome pet stain odors. Pets who are prone to “accidents” can indefinitely give your home an unpleasant aroma.

Elite 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. Pet accidents should be taken care of as soon as they occur, simply because the longer the source of an odor stays on a surface, the harder it will be to get rid of. If the pet stain is allowed to set the odor will settle in the fabric and require professional cleaning services to be eliminated.

Tips for Pet Odor Removal

If you are a pet owner, chances are that you will have to deal with pet stain odor at some point in time. Sometimes you can solve the problem by yourself with pet re-training or utilizing multiple stain removal products. If not, your carpets will need professional attention. You can use the following steps to determine if you can take care of the stain yourself, or if you need professional help.

Step 1: Pinpoint the source of the pet odor.

This seems like an easy task, but when you look for the pet stain it might be invisible to the naked eye. Pet odors don not 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 repulsive odor. If this isn’t your style, there is another method. Pet urine contains salts that are visible under black light. You can buy an inexpensive black light at your local hardware or party store. Turn off all the lights and close all the blinds in the room and turn on the black light. Use the black light by scanning the carpet. Pet stains will literally glow when the black light is exposed to 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 padding, the backing, 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 or fecal matter that the bacteria are feeding on. The key is killing the bacteria left behind even after the visible stain is gone because they are the source of the odor. This protein eating process could take several days to eliminate the odor.

Pet Odor Removal Services:

Vapor Phase Odor Control System:

• Bio-filtration: Used to treat a variety of biodegradable, water-soluble contaminants in the waste water industry. The bio-filtration system is a highly effective method that removes sulfur based odor components such as hydrogen sulfide, mercaptans and organic sulfides.

• Carbon absorption system: The odorous air stream is exposed to absorbent carbon pellets which force the odor causing compounds to adhere to the porous surface of the carbon pellets.

• Wet air scrubbing system: Wet air scrubbing is one of the most flexible and reliable solutions for vapor phase odor control. This treatment is best used with water soluble contaminants.

Wet Odor Control Scrubber Systems:

This system is designed to be used in a variety of applications that can be used to remove contaminants such as hydrogen sulfide and ammonia from air streams generated from wastewater. Odor Control Scrubbers are typically used to treat malodorous gases emanating from municipal treatment plants, composting sites and industrial sites. We apply this technology and use the appropriate chemical solutions one or more times to clean the odor without polluting the environment.

“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 want to call in Elite Carpet Cleaning for a professional opinion. Elite Carpet Cleaning services have extensive experience and effective methods of stain odor detection and treatment. Elite Carpet Cleaning Services can come to your residence and provide you a free inspection and estimate. 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 may become a ‘repeat offender.’ If you know that your pet does not usually have accidents in the house, visit your veterinarian. Your pet may have a urinary tract infection. There are other causes though; these include a change in environment the (ex: a recent move), a new addition to the household (a baby, another pet etc.), or a change in their diet. Pets sometimes respond to stress by accidentally making embarrassing smelly spots on your carpet.
