With help from The Steam Team, stains and smells from your beloved furry friends will no longer dominate your home- keep reading today’s blog to learn more.

Treatment and Removal

When it comes to pet odor and the stains associated with them, there are varying levels of the odor, and therefore we have different treatments to ensure that your home receives the exact level of care it needs. Most of the time, our powerful cleaning system can effectively rinse the pet urine out of any carpet. But when the urine is deeper than it appears, further action is required. The pet urine also provides for bacteria growth, worsening the odor in your home and can even cause a loss of color in the carpet over time.

If the spots are treated and a urine neutralizer is applied and the odor still persists, our professionals will start the full removal process by first pulling up the carpet. Then they’ll remove the affected padding underneath the carpet and clean the back of the carpet thoroughly. The front and back of the floor will be treated with an enzyme treatment and sealed with an odor barrier. Then a new tack strip and new padding will be installed, and the carpet will be reinstalled as it was before. Finally, the carpet will be thoroughly cleaned once more and a topical enzyme will be applied. After all of that, with proper maintenance, pet odor will never be a problem in your home again!
