Say Goodbye to Pet Odors — Restore Freshness to Your Home
If you have pets in your home, you probably already know how quickly pet accidents can occur on carpets and furniture. Even a minor spill or urine spot can lead to odors that linger for weeks — sometimes without you even knowing where it happened in the first place. We know… pet stains can be tricky! Not only do pet odors smell bad; they can also affect indoor air quality and make your home feel stale.
Here at Steam Hippo, we understand how important it is to live in a healthy, clean environment. That’s why our professional carpet cleaning business is dedicated to pet odor removal using safe, eco-friendly and highly effective steam cleaning methods that reach deep into carpeting and upholstery fibers.
Why Pet Odors Are So Difficult to Remove
Understanding how pet urine and odors penetrate fibers and fabrics
Whenever a pet accident occurs, liquids will seep into carpet fibers and even the padding. Over time, that moisture allows bacteria to grow and release odor into the air, causing strong, persistent odors. The same situation occurs on furniture and upholstered surfaces in a similarly layered fabric where moisture can be trapped, and the odor can reach an unstoppable level beyond what surface cleaning will reach.
The risks of bacteria and allergens associated with unclean surfaces
Odors are not just unpleasant – they can also be an indication there may be bacteria or harmful organisms lurking and multiplying. Ever heard about ammonia gas? When carpet or upholstery is damp, the bacteria can grow, then release gas that creates these stubborn odors that may affect your comfort level or your allergies if you are sensitive to odors or cause sneezing and coughing for the other family members.
Why DIY solutions might not always work for deep-seated smells
By doing a quick internet search, you’ll receive suggestions like putting baking soda, vinegar, and store-bought sprays on pet urine, which may work in certain situations, but by the time the urine has soaked through the carpet or padding, it most likely won’t help. Moreover, if you use the wrong cleaner, it may set the stains and odor even worse. Blotting with a towel and a mild mix of soap and water, or a solution of 3% peroxide and water, is fine for light spills. But for deeper, urine-based odor removal, only a professional cleaning service has the proper equipment to remove any residue trapped beneath the surface.
Effective Methods for Removing Pet Odors
As trained and certified technicians, we rely on methods that go beyond simple surface cleaning. Our process targets odor-causing bacteria and neutralizes them safely.
- Inspection and Enzyme Treatment
We start by locating all affected areas, even those invisible to the eye. For that, we use a UV light that highlights all spots where urine is present. Enzyme solutions are then applied to break down urine crystals and organic residues that cause odors. This enzyme process is key to effective urine elimination – it doesn’t just cover smells; it destroys them at the source.
- Steam (Hot Water Extraction) Cleaning
Next comes our deep steam cleaning part. Hot water mixed with a mild eco-friendly detergent (pre-spray) is misted onto the carpet and extracted with high suction power. This method allows for effective pet hair removal, spot cleaning, and clears any remaining odors from carpets and furniture.
- Odor Neutralizing and Deodorizing
Paired with extraction, we apply a special pet odor deodorizer designed to eliminate lingering smells. In more severe cases, our technicians use professional boosters / removal products made for urine and organic material.
These methods are the best approach to remove pet odors from carpets and upholstery effectively, without using harsh chemicals.
Benefits of Professional Cleaning for Pet Odors
When you choose a professional service for pet odor removal, you’re not just treating the smell – you’re protecting your entire home from illnesses, bacteria, and poor air quality. Deep removal ensures hidden urine stains are extracted VS just surface cleaned, since professional cleaners use specialized tools that reach below the surface.
Not to mention that your furniture and carpets also last longer and are cleaner between visits. You also reduce allergens, giving a healthier living environment for your pets and family.
DIY solutions can mask odors, but professional cleaning provides elimination that small shop-vacs and home remedies cannot beat.
