Pet odor
Find the affected layers
Odor can remain in carpet backing, pad, or subfloor after the visible surface has been cleaned.
- Locate the sourceCheck the size and depth of the affected area.
- Choose treatmentCleaning alone may not resolve contamination in underlying materials.
Pet odor may be coming from more than the carpet surface. Liquid can pass into the pad, subfloor, baseboard, or nearby upholstery. Treating the top fibers without finding the source can leave an odor that returns after the room dries.
Locate the affected materials
Tell us where the odor is strongest and whether there were repeated accidents or a single event. The carpet and pad may need different treatment; a severely affected pad or subfloor may need replacement or sealing as part of a repair plan. The recommendation depends on the extent found during assessment.
What cleaning can achieve
Cleaning may substantially improve a limited surface problem, but no process can promise to remove every odor from every material. We will explain which materials we can treat and where a separate repair may be needed. If moisture damage is also present, start with a water damage assessment.
