 Pets are part of the family. They curl up on the couch, greet us at the door, and somehow always seem to find the softest spot on the carpet. But even the best pets can have accidents, and pet urine can become one of the most stubborn problems a carpet owner has to deal with.
The biggest mistake is assuming the problem is only what you can see on the surface. Urine can move below the carpet fibers and reach the backing or even the padding underneath. Once that happens, the odor may seem to disappear for a while and then return later, especially when the room becomes warm or humid. That is why simply spraying a deodorizer over the area often does not solve the real problem. It may cover the smell temporarily, but it does not necessarily remove the contamination that caused the odor in the first place. At Emerald Valley Carpet Cleaning, we look at pet urine as a treatment problem, not just a cleaning problem. The first step is finding the affected areas and determining how serious the contamination is. A small, recent accident can be very different from an area that has been used repeatedly over time. For lighter contamination, a targeted treatment followed by proper rinsing and extraction may be enough. More heavily affected areas may require a deeper treatment so the cleaning solution reaches the same places the urine reached. The goal is always to remove as much of the contamination as possible rather than simply masking the odor. We also try to be realistic with our customers. Some pet urine problems can be corrected very successfully. Others, especially when contamination has reached the carpet backing, pad, or subfloor over a long period of time, may require additional treatment or even replacement of materials in the worst cases. We would rather explain what we find than promise something that cannot honestly be guaranteed. If you have pets, an accident does not mean your carpet is ruined. The sooner the area is treated correctly, the better the chances of getting the carpet clean, fresh, and comfortable again.
