If you’re a pet owner, you know that accidents happen. Even with the most well-behaved pets, it’s not uncommon for them to have accidents on the carpet. Pet stains can be tough to remove, especially if they’ve been left to sit for a while.

At CJ’s Chem-Dry, our carpet cleaners in Andover understand the challenges that pet stains and odors can present. That’s why we offer our Pet Urine Removal Treatment (P.U.R.T.®). This treatment combines our proven carpet cleaning process with a solution that targets the source of pet stains and odors, leaving your carpet looking and smelling fresh again. Trust us to get rid of pet stains and odors and make your home a more comfortable and welcoming place.

Why are Pet Urine Stains and Odors So Difficult to Remove?

To fully appreciate the effectiveness of our Chem-Dry Pet Urine Removal Treatment (P.U.R.T.®), it is important to understand why pet stains and odors can be so difficult to remove. When pet urine penetrates the carpet, padding, or subfloor, it can be difficult to fully remove the resulting stain and odor with typical cleaning methods or off-the-shelf carpet cleaners. P.U.R.T.® is a specialized solution that targets and eliminates these stubborn, deep-seated stains and odors.

When a pet accident occurs, it’s important to clean up the moisture as soon as possible. Next, some homeowners may try using a store-bought cleaner or even common household hacks such as baking soda or hydrogen peroxide to remove the stain. However, these methods can risk damaging the delicate carpet fibers, potentially drawing more attention to the stain rather than removing it.

While you may consider calling a steam cleaning service to remove pet stains and odors, it is important to know that the steam cleaning method may not be as effective as you might hope. Steam cleaning relies on a large volume of water, which can actually push the urine crystals deeper into the flooring instead of flushing them out. This can result in the permanent setting of urine odors and stains, creating a significant problem for your home.

At Chem-Dry, we have developed the Pet Urine Removal Treatment (P.U.R.T.®) specifically to address this issue. Our process targets the urine crystals and breaks them up, releasing them from the carpet fibers to effectively remove pet stains and odors. 

How Chem-Dry Carpet Cleaners Remove Pet Stains

The trick to removing stains is to destroy the chemical compounds that create these stains and their telltale odors. In the case of stains and smells related to pet accidents, that source is generally microscopic urine crystals and other residual matter residing deep within your carpet.

These substances can be difficult or impossible to remove using a conventional approach. However, you can count on our time-tested P.U.R.T. process to carefully target and effectively lift away pet urine crystals from deep within your carpet. 

The first step in this process is to find all of the pet stains. Because urine deposits can be hard to spot with the naked eye, our team works with an ultraviolet light to uncover pet stains you might not even know about that could be adding to the unpleasant smell in your home. 

Next, we leverage our Hot Carbonating Extraction process (called HCE) to penetrate deep into carpet fibers and lift up urine crystals that are already loose. The HCE process also removes any liquid that is worsening the stain’s appearance, and any dirt or other grime in the carpet.

Finally, our carpet cleaners apply the specialized P.U.R.T. product, which works over 24 to 36 hours to break down stubborn stain- and odor-causing matter that is left behind in the carpet.
