Pet odors, especially from urine, are notoriously difficult to eliminate because the odor compounds bond with carpet fibers and padding at a chemical level. Household cleaners and over-the-counter products often mask the smell temporarily but fail to break down the uric acid crystals that are the root cause of the odor. At American Steamers, we use professional-grade enzyme-based treatments that biologically digest the odor molecules, permanently eliminating the smell rather than covering it up.

Our pet odor removal process begins with UV light inspection to locate all affected areas, including spots invisible to the naked eye. We then apply our enzyme treatment, allow it to fully activate, extract it along with all dissolved odor compounds, and neutralize any remaining residue. For severe cases where urine has penetrated through to the padding or subfloor, we offer sub-floor treatment and padding replacement to ensure complete odor elimination.

We pair odor removal with our pet stain removal and urine damage treatment services for complete restoration. Also see our full odor removal services for smoke, mold, and other odors.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why does pet urine smell worse when it gets wet?

Moisture reactivates the uric acid crystals in dried urine, releasing ammonia and mercaptan gases. This is why odors seem to appear or intensify after humid weather or mopping.

Will my dog or cat keep returning to the same spot after cleaning?

Pets return to spots because they can still smell residual urine. Our enzyme treatment eliminates the odor at the chemical level, removing the scent cue that draws pets back.

Can you get rid of pet odor from concrete or hardwood underneath the carpet?

Yes. For severe cases, we treat the subfloor directly after removing padding, and can apply odor-blocking sealers to concrete if needed.

How long does the enzyme treatment take to work?

The enzymes continue working for 24, 48 hours after application. You may notice a slight odor during this period as the biological process completes.

Is the treatment safe for pets?

Yes. Our enzyme solutions are non-toxic and biodegradable. We recommend keeping pets off the treated area until it is fully dry.
