Pet Odor Control

Pet urine can cause damage to your property, floors and fabrics not to mention an unhealthy indoor environment. The longer urine stays without treatment it becomes a breeding ground for bacteria. When urine is deposited on a fabric it begins to oxidize and create some fabric discoloration. If left for days or weeks, depending on the fabric, it can change the dye structure, causing permanent staining.

Urine odor becomes more prominent when the humidity level rises. After the urine dries salts are left behind drawing and absorbing moisture. When this moisture evaporates it puts off an odorous gas. In order to eliminate the urine odor the salts and crystal must be removed; not just on the surface of the fabric but in the underlying pad and sub surface areas as well. By just cleaning the area topically it will not remove the odor in fact it will likely make the odor more noticeable being that salts will absorb more moisture. When you smell urine odor the chances are that you smell the gasses created from the bacteria feeding on the urine.

We use high intensity ultra violet lighting to locate the spot and also electronic urine probe meters. Once we locate the problem area we then can determine the best method for attacking the source.

There are different methods we can use to treat the urine below the surface. Which one is needed varies from case to case, and will be determined upon inspection. The technician can explain to you in great detail every step necessary.

Be cautious of store bought products with oxygen bleaches and high pH levels. These products can leave the carpet with an incorrect pH level and a residue, causing the carpet to attract dirt and possible permanent discoloration.
