🐾 Pet Owners: How to Deal with Urine, Hair, and Odor in Carpets

We love our pets — they’re part of the family. But let’s face it, they’re not always the cleanest roommates. From urine accidents and stubborn pet hair to that lingering “dog smell,” our carpets usually pay the price.

At Clean Carpets Co., we work with a lot of pet owners, so we know the common problems and how to fix them. If you’re dealing with pet-related carpet issues, here’s what you need to know — and when it’s time to bring in the pros.

💧 Urine Accidents That Keep Coming Back

Pet urine doesn’t just leave a stain — it sinks deep into the carpet padding and can leave behind a strong ammonia smell. Over time, it can even damage your carpet or subfloor if not properly treated.

What You Can Try:

• Blot it up right away (don’t rub — that pushes it in deeper).

• Use an enzyme-based cleaner that’s made specifically for pet urine.

• Avoid steam cleaning — heat can actually set the stain.

When You Need Us:

If the smell keeps coming back or the stain has been there a while, it probably needs a deeper treatment. At Clean Carpets Co., we use pet-safe solutions that reach all the way into the padding and neutralize the odor at the source.

🐕 Pet Hair That Just Won’t Vacuum Up

If you’ve ever vacuumed, and vacuumed… and vacuumed some more… and still found pet hair stuck in your carpet, you’re not alone.

What Helps:

• Try a rubber squeegee or carpet rake before vacuuming — it pulls up embedded hair.

• Use a good vacuum with strong suction and a HEPA filter if possible.

Our Solution:

Our commercial-grade equipment is built to handle this kind of stuff. We can remove hair that most vacuums leave behind — even in high-traffic or matted-down areas.

🤢 That “Dog Smell” You Can’t Get Rid Of

That lingering odor comes from a mix of pet dander, natural oils, and bacteria that settle into your carpet. Regular cleaning can help, but over time, it needs a deeper solution.

You Can Try:

• Sprinkle baking soda on the carpet before vacuuming.

• Keep your pets clean and brushed.

• Use an air purifier or open windows when possible.

What We Do:

At Clean Carpets Co., we offer odor treatments that don’t just cover up the smell — they get rid of it completely. We treat the source, not just the surface.
