Pet Urine Odor Removal for Carpets, Rugs & Upholstery
Professional Odor Removal for Pet Urine, Smoke, Mildew & Tough Smells
Angelo’s Cleaning provides professional odor removal for carpets, area rugs, upholstery, fabric, flooring, and air ducts. If you have pet urine odor, dog or cat accident odor, body odor, smoke odor, mildew odor, or another tough smell, our certified technicians can help identify the source and recommend the right treatment.
Odor problems are not always on the surface. Urine and other contaminants can soak into carpet backing, padding, subflooring, rug foundations, upholstery cushions, and porous materials. We inspect first, explain what can realistically be improved, and choose the safest practical treatment for the material and severity of the odor.

Light Pet Urine Odor Treatment
If your dog or cat has only had one or two accidents in a particular area, urine odor can often be corrected with a special fiber rinsing agent followed by enzyme treatment. The rinse helps adjust the pH level in the carpet, and the enzyme treatment helps break down odor-causing bacteria left in the carpet.
Enzymes can continue working for up to 2 weeks. After that period, the carpet may need a second thorough rinse at an additional cost to remove enzyme byproduct left behind. After the second neutralizing rinse, the treated area should no longer have odor left in the carpet.
Enzyme treatment is an additional charge to regular carpet cleaning or rug cleaning prices.
Severe Pet Urine Odor Removal Process
When urine soaks through carpet and into the padding or subfloor, surface cleaning is usually not enough. Severe odor may require pulling the carpet back, replacing contaminated padding, sealing the subfloor, and treating the carpet from both sides.
Important: If more than 25% of a room or area is affected by urine, odor treatments are less effective and only some improvement should be expected.
- Inspect the affected area and locate the odor source
- Uninstall the carpet in the affected area when needed
- Check the bottom of the carpet and padding
- Remove affected padding
- Replace affected tack strip when needed
- Clean and seal the affected subfloor
- Clean and neutralize the front and back of the carpet
- Treat the front and back of the carpet with enzyme odor treatment
- Install new padding where needed
- Reinstall the carpet
Odor Removal for Rugs, Upholstery & Air Ducts
Odor treatment depends on where the odor is coming from. Area rugs with urine or heavy odor often need in-shop cleaning so both sides can be treated more thoroughly. Upholstery odor may require fabric testing before cleaning. Smoke, mildew, and whole-room odors may involve carpets, furniture, walls, ceilings, air ducts, and other surfaces.
For smoke odor from cigarettes or small fires, improvement may be possible, but everything in the affected space may need to be cleaned. In some cases, walls and ceilings may also need an odor- and stain-blocking primer.
Odor Treatment Prices
Odor treatment pricing depends on the material, severity, size of the affected area, and whether contamination has reached the padding, backing, rug foundation, or subfloor.
| Odor Treatment | Price |
|---|---|
| Urine / pet odor treatment | Cost of cleaning plus $50 per room treated with enzymes |
| Partial room or area enzyme treatment | Cost of cleaning plus $25 per partial room or area |
| Severe pet / urine odor removal in one contained area, 4’ x 4’ or corner | $150 minimum charge plus sales tax |
| Carpet disinfectant to prevent and kill mold, mildew, and other contaminants | $0.25 per sq. ft. in addition to carpet cleaning prices for wall-to-wall carpet |
Please note: If more than 25% of a room is affected by urine, odor treatments are less effective and you should only expect some improvement.

Odor Removal FAQ
Can pet urine smell be removed from carpet?
Often, yes. Light urine odor may be treated with rinsing and enzymes. More severe odor may require pulling back the carpet, replacing padding, sealing the subfloor, and treating both sides of the carpet.
Why does urine odor come back after cleaning?
Urine odor can return when contamination remains in the backing, padding, subfloor, rug foundation, or upholstery cushion. Moisture can also reactivate urine salts, making the smell noticeable again. That is why locating the source is important.
Do you treat carpet padding?
If urine has soaked into the padding, the affected padding may need to be removed and replaced. Padding acts like a sponge and can hold odor below the carpet.
Do area rugs need to be cleaned in the shop?
For significant odor, urine, or repair issues, rugs should usually be cleaned in our shop so they can be treated more thoroughly on both sides with better control over rinsing, drying, and inspection.
Can you remove smoke odor?
Smoke odor can often be improved, but it may require cleaning multiple surfaces in the affected area, including carpet, upholstery, walls, ceilings, floors, air ducts, and furnishings. Severe smoke odor may require additional restoration work beyond cleaning.
Is odor treatment safe for pets?
We use professional products selected for effective odor treatment and safe cleaning when used properly. Our technicians can explain drying times and when pets can return to the cleaned area after service.
What if the odor comes back?
Some odor situations require deeper treatment, especially when urine has reached the pad, subfloor, rug foundation, or cushion. Our 30-day satisfaction guarantee and 6-month warranty are included with cleaning services, and we can recommend the next step if odor returns.
