Pet odor is the number one reason Hanover homeowners get in touch, and the number one job done badly. If a previous cleaner ran a wand over the area and the smell reappeared within days, nothing was removed. Here is the mechanism, and here is the fix.
It soaks through: face fibre, backing, padding, occasionally the subfloor. On drying it crystallises into urea salts that stay odourless until the humidity comes up, and in this part of the country the humidity is up for most of the summer. A surface clean wets and re-dries the crystals in place, so the smell returns and often intensifies.
When a dog has favoured one corner for a year, the pad is often past saving by extraction. We say so instead of selling the job anyway. Swapping out a few square feet of pad and sealing the boards underneath beats paying twice for a treatment that cannot hold. If something is not going to work, we would rather tell you before taking the booking.
Between Center Square Hanover and Hanover Shoe Farms, this is a dog-walking area, and dogs bring in more than odor. Wet paws carry farm-country dust and salted winter roads, which grinds into entry carpet and stair treads. A pet household in Penn Township, Conewago Township, McSherrystown usually benefits from cleaning every six to nine months rather than annually.
Yes. The products are safe around families and pets, and they are rinsed out rather than left to dry in the fibre. Pets are best in another room during the appointment, back once the carpet is dry to the touch. The EPA indoor air quality guidance and the American Lung Association both link lower settled dander and allergen levels to better indoor air, which a proper extraction delivers.
Standard cleaning runs from $149 to $329 based on area count. Sub-surface and enzyme treatment for pet damage is priced per affected area by severity, and we assess that under UV before quoting. The total is approved by you up front. The same technician who quotes the job is usually the one who turns up to do it.
Can you guarantee the odor is gone?
When contamination is limited to carpet and pad, yes, in almost every case. When it has reached the subfloor or wall base, we outline what else is needed.
How long until the room smells normal?
Usually as soon as it dries, four to six hours. A faint enzyme smell during drying is normal.
Do you clean upholstery pets sleep on?
Yes, and we recommend it in the same visit, since fabric holds dander too.
Same-week appointments are usually available, and evenings and weekends are on the table too. One call to 410-979-2355 is usually all it takes to get on the schedule. Prefer to write it out?
