Carpet Odors - Get Rid of them! Do you need a professional to do it?

Carpet odors are a common complaint that homeowners have. Smells can find their way into your home many ways. The biggest one being your pet. Let's talk about cat and dog smells in your home and the cleaning methods and their treatment.

Pet odor in your carpet can be caused by pet urine, feces or just the smell of a dirty coat from that latest romp on the wet ground (and whatever else lies there) outside. Since life without our furry friends is not an option, how do we treat those pet smells! You can invite guests to your home and they will never know you even have a pet.

We recommend that you have a professional clean the carpet for pet stains in your home. They will use professional quality products to remove those unpleasant smells. Over the counter treatments often only mask the odor and you will find after a couple of days that it has returned. Of course professional cleaning can treat for pet odor, but it can't treat the source. For recurring problems, you will need regular cleaning and treatment. It's important to clean up these stains as quickly as possible, using an extraction method (wet/dry vacuum) if at all possible.

Odors can also stem from organic items such as food. Vomit is another organic item and is not a pleasing smell at all. Anytime an organic item hits your carpet and sits on your carpet, it can create an unpleasant odor. As with the pet stain and odor removal, it is important to remove as much of the food or other organic residue as quickly and thoroughly as possible to prevent the creation of these most unpleasant aromas.

It is sometimes necessary, depending on the source of odor, to use an ozone generator to remove odor. This can be the case with smoke odor and pet odor.
Smoke odors caused by fire, cigarettes and other sources can be removed safely using ozone and a thorough carpet cleaning to restore affected areas.

But for those times when that spill occurs because you have a toddler or that party last weekend, you probably didn't get the chance to determine the proper cleanup techniques! Give us a call, we are ready to treat your odor needs!
