What’s the best way to remove pet smells from your home?

Pet accidents, including urine, soil, and vomit, aren't only a health hazard. They also penetrate the carpet well below what surface cleaning can reach, such as sprays and vacuums.

As these unpleasant residues dry, they release bacteria that produce those horrid smells.

So even if you clean the visible mess, or spray the area with an odour neutraliser, you are only addressing the surface symptoms, not the underlying issue.

Why DIY cleaners and sprays don't work for long

Whether your go-to is baking soda or carpet sprays, it's natural to look for a quick fix whenever pet smells infiltrate your home.

But while some DIY cleaning methods might seem effective at first, they often just mask the smell, rather than removing the root cause.

In fact, in many cases, household products can actually make things worse by:

• Leaving behind sticky residues that attract more dirt

• Spreading the contamination further into the carpet pile

• Failing to neutralise the odour-causing bacteria

Essentially, if the source of the smells aren't removed, the unwanted odours will keep coming back.

The surprising cost of leaving pet messes untreated

It's easy to think that cleaning up a small accident yourself will be fine, or that one stain won't do much damage.

However, over time, pet messes that aren't properly dealt with can seriously damage your home's carpets and upholstery.

This is because they can:

• Break down carpet fibres

• Discolour fabrics permanently

• Soak into the underlay or floor, leading to rotting or warping

Not to mention the serious health hazards that lingering bacteria build-ups can cause.

In many cases, repeated pet accidents that haven't been professionally treated lead to homeowners eventually replacing their carpets altogether. This is a far more expensive outcome than investing in regular deep carpet cleaning.
