WHY ARE MY CARPETS SO DIRTY?
WHY ARE MY CARPETS SO DIRTY?
Pet hair and dander have a nasty way of getting trapped in carpets, furniture no matter how well or how often the property (and pet) have been cleaned. Fur, hair, and dander may also be lingering on non-carpeted floors, too like Tile and Grout. Even the oils from their feet and skin like to stick and can become odorous over time.

Dogs and cats alike love to be outdoors. Whether they are digging in the yard, running in the park, pets get dirty. When they come back inside, they are bringing dirt particles, allergens, and dust right along with them. For this reason, the traffic lanes in the home become more and more soiled and dingy as the dirt and oils from your pet transfer off into your carpeting and upholstery. Have you ever noticed pet-sized spots showing up in their favorite areas of your home? At Pacific Steam Carpet Cleaning, we know all the tricks to remove pet stains and spots with our 100% safe and effective carpet & rug cleaning techniques. We make sure we are keeping your family, children, and fur babies safe with non-toxic methods and solutions.
PET URINE STAINS AND ODOR REMOVAL
Urine and Odor contamination often requires more than just a top cleaning of the carpet. There are many surfaces and layers that can be affected. Topical, carpet backing, carpet padding, and the sub-floor. Not all treatments can be guaranteed to completely remove the odor. We have tools and supplies to reach all the way to the subfloor to treat and deodorize the containment to eliminate the source of the odor. The excess sebum is what gives off that doggy smell everyone complains about, and we can help!
Once we have located the areas that need the sub-surface cleaning we then saturate the affected areas with our solution, allowing the liquid solution to flow through the carpet fibers and percolate deep into the carpet’s backing, padding, and subfloor. The solution enzymes and emulsifiers break down the pet urine crystals in preparation for suspension, extraction, and rinsing.
Living with pets is certainly a joy, but can also be a challenge. Accidents can happen even with the best-trained pets. Below are some tips to deal with fresh pet accidents.

Pet urine can permeate carpet fibers, carpet padding, and the sub-floor, so cleaning only the carpet’s surface won’t make much difference. To remove pet odors, the carpet pad underneath should be extracted or treated through a separate service.
Please note that removing or treating pet urine involves applying cleaning agents to the carpet and pad. Hardwood or concrete sub-floors may retain urine after the cleaning and may continue to off-gas pet odors.
Pacific Steam Carpet Cleaning is not responsible for cosmetic or structural damages that might result from pet urine treatment or removal. We also cannot guarantee complete odor or stain removal. An effective way to remove pet urine odors from a carpet is to replace it and either seal or replace the sub-floor.

Pacific Steam Carpet Cleaning specializes in eco-friendly Pet Stain Removal. Accidents happen, but toxic chemicals are not required to effectively reduce pet stains, urine, and odors. Our natural conscience cleaners are plant-based and citrus-based and are then followed with a thorough rinse and extraction, ensuring that surfaces are safe for your pets (and the rest of your family) immediately after cleaning.
Light Odor Problems
Our hot water extraction process is a deep rinsing process. Minor pet odor problems that are limited to the face yarn of the carpet may be removed by cleaning, along with the application of a topical deodorizing treatment.
Medium Pet Odor Problems
If the urine has soaked through the carpet backing and is now into the carpet pad, it may be removed with our “sub-surface” extraction process. Using specialized tools connected to our truck-mounted cleaning system, we can flood the contaminated area with fresh hot water. The water is then vacuumed out, using the powerful vacuum from our truck-mounted cleaning system. Drying time for the affected area is normally less than 24 hours. In more severe cases, when the urine soaks through the carpet backing into the padding, we have a specialized method to remove these difficult pet odors and stains through a pad extraction procedure or what we have termed the "Sub-Extraction Method."
Severe Pet Odor Problems
With severe pet odor problems, the urine has made its way into the subfloor. If the affected area is carpet only, meaning no walls, baseboards, furniture, or drapes, it can still be removed. However, it may require additional steps including:
- Pulling back the carpet and replacing the pad.
- Cleaning the backing of the carpet.
- Treating or even sealing the subfloor.
If the affected area includes walls, baseboards, furniture, or drapes, the effort required to remove the odor becomes greater. Replacement of baseboards or drywall may be required to completely remove the odor using a home contractor.
It takes (professional-strength) enzymes to digest the bacteria and remove these odors. Pacific Steam Carpet Cleaning has the training and the products to remove these odors. Oftentimes, we can do it at substantial savings over replacing your carpet.
In more severe cases, when the urine soaks through the carpet backing into the padding, we have a specialized method to remove these difficult pet odors and stains through a pad extraction procedure or what we have termed the "Sub-Extraction Method." This attacks the soiled problems at their source by literally flushing out and encapsulating the pet problems from the pad up. Leaving your carpet truly clean and smelling fresh.
