Pet Stain & Odor Removal in Orange County
Pet urine soaks through the carpet into the pad and sometimes the subfloor, so a regular cleaning can make the smell come back on the first warm day. Pet stain and odor removal starts with finding every spot with a UV light or moisture meter, then treats the source with an enzyme or oxidizing treatment that breaks down the urine salts, followed by extraction. Heavily soaked areas may need the pad treated or replaced, which the pro will explain before doing it.

Cleaning only
Carpet, upholstery, rug and tile cleaning does not need a CSLB contractor license in California, only a local business license. Carpet installation, stretching and repair of $1,000 or more is C-15 Flooring work and only goes to licensed partners.
No water damage work
Flooded carpet needs a water damage restoration company (drying, tear-out, sometimes mold work). Tell us in your request and we route it to restoration pros instead.
Ask about products
Cleaning products and methods vary by company. If you have pets, kids, allergies or a fine rug, ask your pro what they use. We do not make product safety claims for partners.
Price first
Per room, per piece and per square foot estimates up front. Most pros have a visit minimum around $90 - $140, so it pays to bundle carpet, sofas and tile.
Pet Stain & Odor Removal FAQ
Pet urine and odor treatment usually adds about $55 - $275 per affected room on top of carpet cleaning. Three rooms and a hallway with one treated room costs about $265 - $590.
It can if the urine reached the pad or subfloor and only the surface was cleaned. That is why the treatment goes deep and why heavily soaked areas sometimes need the pad replaced.
Products vary by company, so ask your pro what they use and how long pets should stay off the carpet. We do not make product safety claims on behalf of partners.
Blot (do not rub) with paper towels, rinse with cool water, blot again, then use an enzyme cleaner made for pet urine. Avoid steam or heat on fresh urine, which can set the stain and smell.
