Pet odor and stain removal FAQs
Why does pet odor come back after cleaning?
Pet odor can return when urine or organic residue remains in the carpet backing, pad, or subfloor. Humidity and warmth can reactivate odor even after the surface looks clean.
Should I scrub a fresh pet accident?
No. Blot the area with clean white towels or paper towels. Scrubbing can spread the spot and push urine deeper into the carpet fibers.
Can old pet stains be removed?
Some old pet stains can be improved or removed, but results depend on the carpet fiber, age of the stain, previous cleaning products, and whether the urine reached the pad.
When should I call a professional for pet odor?
Call a professional when odor keeps returning, the pet uses the same spot repeatedly, the accident covered a large area, or you suspect urine reached the carpet pad.
If a stain keeps returning, a pet odor will not go away, or you suspect urine has reached the carpet backing or pad, Angelo’s Cleaning can help.
