Don’t Waste Your Time (or Money) on Ineffective Enzyme Treatments for Pet Urine
Some carpet cleaning services still use the old way to clean pet urine from carpet. The old way of treating pet urine in carpet involved utilizing pet enzymes that are designed to break down the bacteria in urine. The problem with using an enzyme to treat the urine is more often than not the enzyme isn’t being utilized correctly.
Your Average Carpet Cleaner Is Using Enzymes Wrong
What do I mean by that? Simply, enzymes take a lot of time to actually work. To properly utilize an enzyme to treat urine, the carpet cleaner would need to treat the urine the day before your appointment and leave it to dwell. Then the carpet cleaner would need to come back the next day to extract it. But guess what? A vast majority of carpet cleaners don’t do this, they just spray and pray.
Our Pet Urine Treatments Actually Work
While other carpet cleaners use enzymes and basic deodorizers, we harness the power of science. We eliminate the Ammonia smell in urine by converting the Ammonia into Ammonium and by treating the bacteria in the urine through a special blend of h202. No other pet treatment on the market will eliminate the inorganic ammonia smell, the organic bacteria, and the yellow urine staining in a matter of seconds. Not days, but seconds!

Do you find yourself coughing, sneezing, or with watery eyes indoors? Is it like the only time you get relief is when you go outside?
Everyday living and pets can cause poor indoor air quality problems like dust, mold, and dander which agitate your allergies. If you find yourself sneezing all the time, here are some things that need to be on your cleaning checklist to improve the air quality in your home.
1) Air Duct Cleaning
For a healthier home we always recommend having your Air Ducts cleaned on an annual basis. This helps keep the dead skin cells, dust mites, and other contaminants from continuing to circulate throughout your home. We have also found that keeping your Air Ducts cleaned keeps your carpets cleaner longer and avoids those nasty air filtration soiling marks that could ruin your carpet. Not only will cleaning your air ducts reduce the allergens in the air, it will also extend the life of your A/C System, as a reported 90% of system failure is due to dust.
2) Carpet Cleaning
Having your carpet professionally steam cleaned at a minimum of 2 times per year dramatically reduces the allergens in your home. The steam is a dust mite killer and the power of a truck mounted steam cleaner will remove the soiling that your vacuum misses. The carpet in your home is the largest filter you have protecting you from allergens entering the air, I recommend cleaning your carpet every 3 months to ensure the filter is always clean. In between cleanings we recommend you vacuum 1-2 times per week with an asthma and allergy certified vacuum. Other vacuums tend to exhaust dust back into the air vs remove it, having a quality vacuum in your home is crucial.
3) Tile and Grout Cleaning
Harmful bacteria can live and thrive on tile and grout. Having your tile and grout cleaned not only sanitizes the surface but also eliminates the residues from your floors that lead to poor indoor air quality. A huge benefit to professional tile and grout cleaning is how 1 clean can make your home not only look cleaner and brighter but actually be cleaner and brighter.
4) Upholstery Cleaning
Dust, Dander, and other contaminates like old food spills or vomit tend to land right where we sit and watch tv. Cleaning your upholstery on a regular basis helps to limit the amount of dust and other contaminates in the air but also in one of the places we regularly lounge in. Vacuuming your draperies will also help reduce the amount of dust that floats through the room.
5) Area Rug Cleaning
Rugs are amazing at hiding dirt. If you have ever seen a rug beaten or dusted you would see all the dust just floating in the air. Having your rugs professionally cleaned helps remove the dust and dry soiling that vacuuming alone just doesn’t get. Area rugs are very much like your carpet in that they are filters for your homes indoor air quality. They can get clogged up with dry soiling and dust mites however and should be cleaned once a year.
6) Mattress Cleaning
Did you know mattresses weigh more after years of use than when you buy them brand new? The reason why is because dead skin cells and dust mites collect on the surfaces of mattresses overtime causing the weight of the mattress to increase. In fact a mattress will double its weight on average in a period of 10 years. To maintain the health of your mattress we recommend annually steam cleaning and using allergy approved mattress protectors on your mattress.
Defeat Allergens Once And For All
By cleaning the above 6 things you are going to be dramatically improving your indoor air quality and providing your family a healthy home to enjoy. We want to be your partner in cleaning by creating a unique plan that will provide your home with consistent maintenance.
