Let’s start with the good news: if your issue is dog urine, I can guarantee the odor will be gone. I’ve developed a process that works even for repeated or older dog urine spots, using a combination of enzyme treatments, subsurface extraction, and follow-up inspection to ensure it’s fully neutralized. Dog urine contains water, urea, salts, and other compounds that penetrate the carpet and pad. Over time, bacteria break it down and create that strong ammonia-like odor. My cleaning process doesn’t just mask it—it eliminates the source.

Now, here’s where things get a little trickier. Cat urine is a whole different animal, literally and chemically.

Cat urine contains more concentrated levels of uric acid than dog urine. This uric acid forms crystals that bind tightly to carpet fibers, padding, and even subfloor materials. These crystals are not water-soluble, so typical cleaning agents—even professional ones—can’t always dissolve them fully. That’s why cat urine odor often returns after a few days or during humid weather.

Additionally, cats often mark in hidden areas—behind furniture, near walls, or under rugs—making detection more difficult. Once the scent is in the carpet, a cat is likely to return to that spot again.

While I do everything possible to treat cat urine, I cannot guarantee 100% odor removal for cat urine. I’ll always give you honest feedback about the extent of the issue and what to expect from treatment..
