We all love our pets.  Pets are a great source of joy and happiness.  But they can also be a source of accidents and odor!  That's where we come in.  We can undo the damage your beloved pet may have caused. 

Urine, feces, vomit, and other organic spots require professional attention. Do it yourself products simply don't have the power to completely remove and sanitize those things.  In fact, many of the products you would buy at the grocery or department store not only won't work as well, many times they can actually make it harder (if not IMPOSSIBLE) for us to remove the spot! 

Accidents Happen              

Owners of even the best-trained pets will occasionally encounter pet accidents. Often, the urine is not discovered until long after the accident. The types of damage from pet stains can be diverse and are dependent upon the makeup of the urine. Urine content will change over the pets life because of it's diet, medications, age, health, sex, and reproductive cycles. Because of these variations, urine stains are difficult to remove.  Lots of products are available to combat odor, but they simply mask the odor and the odor may reappear. Recently, enzyme treatments have been available at pet stores and are slightly more effective; but they may still leave an odor and a visible stain.

What's That Smell?

Ever worry that your home may smell when people come to visit?  That's just what  happens when we live with animals.  But it does't have to be that way.  First let's consider where the odor resides.

What would your laundry smell like if you never washed it?  We don't even want to go there!  Well, your carpet is basically clothing for your floors and it's made of fibers just like your clothing. So when your clothing begins to smell, do we sprinkle them with some deodorant powder or spray it with Febreeze?  Of course not! We WASH it.  So why wouldn't you WASH your carpet, too?

Your carpet is like a giant filter for your home. (See FOR YOUR HEALTH) It traps dirt, pollutants, dust mites and their feces, dander, pollens, allergens, smoke and bacteria.  However, like any filter, it needs to be cleaned regularly to continue to work. When your carpet gets full of these things it develops an odor, just like your clothes would.  Compound this with urine, feces, and vomit or hairballs and you should want your carpet cleaned yesterday!

THE TRUTH ABOUT OXYCLEAN AND OTHER STORE-BOUGHT CARPET CLEANING SOLUTIONS, LIKE RESOLVE

To be perfectly blunt, none of these products will remove and deodorize pet stains.  First of all, most of these products only treat the surface.  Secondly, they don't break down the proteins in urine.  Thus, you will still have urine under your carpet yarns and soaked into your backing and padding (and very likely in the wood under all that too). 

Oxycleanï¾® is not very effective on urine stains.  It may reduce the appearance of the stain on the surface but it will not remove the underlying urine and it will not break down the proteins in the urine that bond with your carpet causing the telltale yellowish stain.  Caution must be used since misuse of Oxycleanï¾® can have the same effect as bleach in that you'll have permanent color loss.

I know this will come as a surprise to you, but products such as Resolveï¾® actually cause more problems with carpet than they fix. The carpet manufacturers themselves hate the stuff. We've been in some homes where the homeowner had a urine stain that they tried to clean with a store bought solution and they also had stains that had gone unnoticed.  We were able to remove the urine stain that had gone unnoticed. We were not able to completely remove the stain that had been treated with the store bought solution.

4 FACTS YOU NEED TO KNOW...

FACT: Urine in carpet never completely dries out.  It seeps into the backing and stays wet for a very long time.  When it gets humid, urine will pull the moisture from the air to reactivate the odor.  That's why the urine odor can actually return years later.

FACT:  A visible urine spot the size of a baseball on top side of your carpet may actually be the size of a large dinner plate under the surface.

FACT:  Proteins in urine work like glue, bonding the yellow pigment to carpet fibers. Our process liquefies and breaks down these proteins. This is what releases the stain from the fibers.

FACT: Timing is critical.  The longer a spot is on your carpet, the higher the risk of color loss or permanent discoloration.
