You love your pet. There is nothing more wonderful than watching your
children learn and discover. There’s nothing wrong with the great
outdoors, as long as it remains outdoors. But what happens when your pet
decides that your carpet is a great place to relieve himself, or your
children drag the outdoors inside? Stains and odors on your carpet,
that’s what happens.
So, what do you do to remove stubborn pet odors, stale cigarette smells,
or smelly food spills from your carpet? You deodorize.
There are many over the counter products being sold in stores today that
promise everything from great smelling carpets to complete sanitation.
The problem is that most of these preparations can’t actually deliver on
their promises, no matter how fastidious the user is. The problem is that
there is a lack of understanding of the proper methods of removing
specific odors by the homeowner.
Odor chemistry is as diverse as the situations that make them. The
chemical make up of each odor determines the best method of odor removal.
For example, did you know that a urine stain contains an ammonia base that
is best neutralized with a specific enzyme? Most people believe that over
the counter carpet stain removers will also remove odors, but most merely
cover it up. As soon as your nose becomes accustomed to the perfume in
the cleaner, the original odor is noticeable again. Professional carpet
cleaners are skilled in the art of understanding what causes specific
odors and the best way at removing them.
Your health and the health of your family can also be directly affected by
the improper use of deodorizers. The chemicals used to remove odors can
poison small children or pets and should be used sparingly. A
professional carpet cleaner can thoroughly sanitize your carpet, keeping
your carpet from releasing pollutants into your indoor air, reducing the
instance of respiratory illnesses such as asthma and allergies.
You should have your carpet professionally cleaned and deodorized at
minimum every year, but it is recommended that you have it done semi
annually, especially in high traffic areas to prolong the life of your
carpet and maintain a healthy, happy home.
