Although we can generally greatly improve the stain and odor, replacement is the only way to guarantee 100% remediation. Professional carpet cleaning can effectively remove some cat urine stains and odors with proper techniques and enzymatic cleaners. Unfortunately, and all too often, it can penetrate the backing of the carpet and into the padding and subfloor, which can require replacement. The amount of urine present in the carpet has a significant influence on whether it can be removed. If an animal has used the carpeting as its personal litter box for an extended period, replacement would be recommended. Due to the complexity of treating pet urine, we can't make any guarantees of stain or odor removal.
While all pet urine isn't great for carpeting, cat urine is especially problematic because it's much more concentrated than dog urine. Unfixed male cats have the worst-smelling urine, as the testosterone presence is extra stinky. If you've ever thought cat urine smells worse than dog urine, you were right, and that is why! Unfortunately, the smellier an odor is, the more challenging it is to fully remove.
We love pets and are pet owners ourselves. We customize our pet treatments for each job after performing an on-site assessment. Our cleaning engineers will first determine the extent of the urine through visual inspection and confirm its presence with a moisture probe or a UV light. We will then develop a custom treatment plan using specialized cleaning techniques and pet-safe enzymatic cleaners designed to break down and neutralize the components of the urine, eliminating visible stains and underlying odor. As previously mentioned, we can't guarantee the complete removal of stains and odor, but we've had great success with our process throughout the 55+ years we've been in business.
