How Do You Remove Pet Odor From Carpet And Padding?
Pets leave “scent” marks that are the result of enzymes that their body produces and secretes through their glands and and skin into their fur and then onto your floors and furniture. These enzymes are difficult to clean with normal chemicals because the enzymes bind with fabrics. This means you will need to neutralize the enzymes instead of washing them off. There are many specialty cleaners designed to remove pet odors, but make sure to buy one that specifically has enzyme neutralizers. Spread your pet odor neutralizing powder across the carpets liberally. You want a thin coat to fall down into the threads evenly across the entire floor. If in doubt, use more neutralizer, not less. Allow the pet odor neutralizer to sit in your carpet for at least two hours. Ideally you will let the neutralizing powder sit for four hours. The longer it gets to sit, up to eight hours, will help neutralize more odors. Vacuum up the pet odor neutralizing powder. It may take several trips with the vacuum
