Tips For Pet Odor Removal
If you are a pet owner, chances are that you will have to contend with pet odor at some point in time. Sometimes you can solve the problem by yourself. If not, you will need professional assistance.
Step 1:Identify the source of the pet odor
This seems like an easy task, right? But when you look for the pet stain, it might not be visible to you. Because pet odors don't automatically 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 offensive stench. 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 our 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 the pet odor-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 cause the odor. This protein eating process could take several days until the odor is completely gone.
"What if the odor can't be removed?"
Have you given the enzyme ample time to work? Occasionally the smell gets worse before it gets better. If your efforts haven't succeeded in doing the job, and the odor persists, you may have to call in a professional (contact us). Professional pet odor removal services have more powerful methods of treatment. Chicago Carpet Cleaning for example will send our expert specialists to go out to your home and give you a free inspection and estimate.
If the problem is particularly severe, the professional service may have to replace padding, seal the sub floor, replace 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 pet odor.
Pay attention to your pet after treatment. Odors that cannot be detected by humans can be picked up by pets; they often return to the "scene of the crime" and become a "repeat offender". If you're 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 the environment for example; a recent move, a new addition to the household like a baby, another pet, or a change in your pets diet. Animals sometimes respond to stress by making spots on your carpet.
