PET URINE ODOR REMOVAL

Pet Urine Stains and Odor Removal in Wake County, NC

Pet Urine Carpet Cleaning in Wake County

Ideally, pets would never make messes on our carpets or rugs. However, we all know that’s not the case, and accidents tend to happen. Unfortunately, it’s not always quick and easy to clean up when these accidents involve urine.

Urine can seep deep below the carpet and damage the pad and floor if it’s not addressed promptly and correctly. Do yourself a favor and attend to pet stains as soon as they occur. Chem-Dry of Wake County’s pet urine cleaning removes the smell at the source, rather than just masking the odor.

Facts to Know About Urine in Your Carpeting

When pets urinate on the carpet, the urine doesn’t just stay on the surface of the fibers. It seeps lower and lower until it reaches the backing of the carpet and the flooring beneath it. Once it seeps down to the floorboards, it crystallizes, and the smell worsens. As a pet owner, you know that your pet usually continues to do its business in that same spot. These locations can accumulate severe damage to the carpet and flooring.

As the urine dries, the liquid evaporates, but the urine crystals become even more concentrated and pungent. Simple carpet cleaning and DIY hacks will not remove this odor. Simple surface cleaning does not help remove this odor. When P.U.R.T.® contacts the source of the odor, it immediately begins to remove the odor.

How P.U.R.T.® Works

  1. Once the source and severity of the odor are determined, the carpet or rug will be rinsed and extracted with a hot water rinse to remove the bulk of the urine crystals.
  2. In worst cases, the carpet is pulled back in the suspected areas to reveal the extent of the damage.*
  3. If necessary, the pad will be removed and replaced.*
  4. An odor-blocking shellac may be applied to the subfloor if necessary.*
  5. P.U.R.T.® will be applied heavily to the tack strip, the sub floor, the baseboards, and the carpet backing. It is necessary to apply this product heavily enough to dampen all areas affected by the urine.*
  6. Over the next 24 hours, the ingredients in P.U.R.T.® will react with the urine and break down the odor-causing components.

Frequently Asked Pet Urine Removal Questions

How does the P.U.R.T.® process remove urine odors?

The P.U.R.T.® (Pet Urine Removal Treatment) process is designed to target the source of urine odors* rather than cover them up. It penetrates carpet fibers, padding, and affected areas beneath the surface to break down urine crystals and neutralize odors* at the microscopic level.

Is P.U.R.T.® only for pet urine odors?

While P.U.R.T.® is commonly used for dog and cat urine, it can also be effective for other types of urine odors*. This includes situations such as potty-training accidents or caring for elderly individuals, where urine odors* may be present in carpets or upholstered surfaces.

Why shouldn’t pet urine be treated with steam cleaning?

Chem-Dry strongly discourages using steam cleaning for pet urine issues. Steam cleaning uses large volumes of water, which can drive urine deeper into carpet padding and subfloors. The heat can also cause urine odors* to permanently set, making them stronger and more difficult to address.

How long does the P.U.R.T.® process take to work?

The P.U.R.T.® process begins addressing urine odors* as soon as it is applied. The treatment continues working as it dries, with the full process typically completed within 24 to 36 hours, depending on airflow and environmental conditions.

Can P.U.R.T.® be used on furniture and upholstery?

Yes. The P.U.R.T.® process can be applied as part of Chem-Dry’s upholstery cleaning service. It is suitable for addressing urine odors* in sofas, chairs, mattresses, and other upholstered furniture where urine has penetrated into the fabric and padding.
