Pet Odor Mitigation
We all love our pets, but sometimes they make mistakes. Pet Urine is considered by professionals to be one of the most difficult problems to solve in the carpet cleaning industry. Here is the reason why. The liquid passes through the carpet fibers into the matting and often through the padding resting on the sub floor. As the liquid evaporates, small yellow crystals begain to form deep beneath the carpet surface. These salt looking crystals remain deep in the carpet base and began to give off a horrible odor. All of the normal carpet cleaning in the world won’t touch the problem because the crystals are too deep into the carpet base and padding.
Urine can also cause permanent color damage, either adding color by dyeing the carpet fibers or removing color by releasing the carpet’s dye. Inevitably the teck will have to deal with a large amount of secondary residue because the homeowner was understandably attempting to handle the issue by using products that are not designed to deal with pet urine. The product was used on the spot and left in the carpet becoming a second type of residue that will draw other soils which will lead to a much larger spot in a short amount of time.
We are experienced in this area and are capable of eliminating this problem for you.
Our Process
The tech will locate the spots by using a UV Light to help determine the severity of the problem. Next he tests the carpet to be sure there is not an issue with the solution having an effect on the carpet’s color. Even though the solution is very powerful it is still totally safe!
Now the tech will mix a safe and biodegradable concentrated solution in a bucket which is designed to eliminate these crystals.
Depending on the size of the spot the tech will pour the solution onto the area making sure that the flooding area is larger than the original spot. The solution will turn the urine crystals into a liquid form then attack the molecules which cause the odor. This stage will require a considerable amount of dwell time.
4. Now that the urine crystals are in a liquid form and suspended in the solution, it all can be extracted. We have a tool especially designed for this. It has a square head which the tech will set over the spot and by utilizing the power of our truck mount will extract everything from your carpet fibers all of the way down to the subfloor. Any solution left behind will continue to kill the urine molecules until it evaporates.
5. Now the tech will precondition the entire the carpet surface and perform our normal deep carpet cleaning process. The odors and stains are gone and your carpet is left healthy, soft, and odor free.
