Odor is something that many people who own animals know all too much about. Whether housebreaking a new dog, or dealing with an animal in his or her senior years, messes that aren’t cleaned quickly enough may allow odor to sing into the fibers of your carpet, making it a very difficult task to remove them. While deodorants or carpet sprays may mask the sent, a balmy summer day can bring them back with a vengeance.
Professionals have methods to deal with them, like powerful chemical sprays with enzymes that break apart the material creating the smell, or just thorough, deep cleaning using a lot of very hot water. If these measures don’t work, the only option left is replacement. This is why it’s usually suggested to keep a few square feet of carpet around after the initial installation. You can have just that section of carpet and padding replaced.
The best way to keep your carpet odor free, however, is to keep the problems away from it. Well-trained animals and well kept litter boxes and freshly replaced newspapers. While everything can’t be prevented, a good potion can, and that can extend the longevity of your carpet, and keep your home or office odor free.
