Pets are members of the family and the odors they bring into your household, or vehicle doesn’t trump the love. That is why most pet owners accept that the smell is part of the job. However, permanently neutralizing pet odors is possible and makes for a happier home. Pet odor removal is a particularly cumbersome task because once set; the smell can permanently damage the floor, carpet, furniture, and vehicle interior.
Why is pet odor removal so difficult? Primarily, it is the chemical makeup that causes the odor. Urine, for example, is rich in nitrogen and can have a strong ammonia smell. Other waste products contain foul-smelling bacteria. When you combine these strong odors with improper cleanup, you are stuck with a smell that won’t go away.
When accidents happen, the liquid doesn’t just sit on the surface. It seeps down into the fibrous material. That is where odor lives, and can be the most difficult place to reach. Homeowners get used to the smell and fail to realize it remains after they clean up.
Wet Dog Smell – The specific oil is called Sebum, it collects on the hair shaft and follicles to protect a dog’s skin from dehydration. When the dog gets wet, like after a day at the beach or a bath, the oil and the water together create a bacteria which causes the unpleasant odor.
Urine – Urine is the worst offender because it not only produces a lingering smell but can also actually damage the dyes and fibers in the rug.
Vomit – Stomach acid has the potential to harm any surface, including carpets.
Fecal matter – Most damage from fecal matter comes due to improper cleanup. Rubbing the area embeds the waste into the carpet fibers and backing where is can cause permanent problems.
Kennel cough – Canine infectious tracheobronchitis, often referred to as a kennel cough, is a contagious disease found where groups of dogs are gathered. It is often spread at dog parks, dog shows, day cares and boarding facilities.
Do It Yourself vs. Professional Services by Pacific Decontamination
The majority of pet odor removal requires professional service. Over the counter, products are stopgap measures at best. They claim to make the odor go away, however, what they do is cover it up. The combination of the fragrance and the family’s desensitization to the smell is just a temporary fix.
