Pet urine soaks down into the carpet backing and underlay, not just the visible fibres. A standard surface clean or a domestic carpet cleaner often only masks the smell temporarily rather than removing the source.

What a Professional Treatment Involves

  • Identifying the full extent of affected areas, including under furniture
  • Enzyme or oxidising treatments that break down the odour-causing bacteria, not just mask it
  • Deep extraction to pull contamination out of the underlay where possible
  • In severe cases, advice on whether the underlay needs replacing

Preventing It Happening Again

Treating accidents quickly, using a carpet protection treatment, and avoiding cheap surface sprays that only mask the smell will help keep your carpets fresher for longer between professional cleans.
