Pet odors can be some of the most difficult odors to remove from carpet and carpet padding. Urine is a strong smell and can soak quickly into carpet fibers and carpet padding. If your pet has an accident on the floor when you’re not home, the spot may sit for hours before you notice it. If you don’t clean it quickly, or make the spots too wet during the cleaning process, the odor can quickly take over a room. Things like heat and small, enclosed spaces can make the odor stronger. With the right method of Charleston carpet cleaning, homeowners can conquer pet odors and have a fresh smelling home again.

These odors can be harder to fight because the odor is technically in more than one place within the carpet.
