Pet smell removal in Bedford.

Covering a smell with perfume only hides it for a few days. I find where it actually is and treat that, so it goes rather than comes back.

    Dog resting on a freshly cleaned carpet in a Bedford home
    Worth knowing

    The smell isn't in the carpet.
    It's under it.

    Only a little of an accident stays on the surface. The rest soaks straight through and sits in the underlay underneath, where you can't see it and a normal clean never reaches it.

    Sprays and powders only touch the top. That's why the smell fades for a few days and comes back, and why it's worse in warm or damp weather.

    Reach the underlay and the smell goes. Treat the surface and it always returns.

    My method

    Three steps that go
    all the way down

    1 I find every spotA UV light makes old accidents glow, including ones you'd forgotten or never knew about. There are usually more than people expect.
    2 I treat what's causing itThe solution goes right in and needs time to sit and work. Older accidents need longer. This part can't be rushed.
    3 I pull it out of the underlayA special tool sucks the liquid up through the carpet from below, so the source comes out rather than being buried. No lifting the carpet.

    Everything I use is safe around pets and children. Once the area is drying, your pet can be back in the room.

    Straight answers

    What I can and can't fix

    Better you know this before you book than after.

    Usually sorted

    I can normally deal with

    • Accidents in the carpet, fresh or years old
    • The general doggy smell in a room
    • Sofas and chairs a pet sleeps on
    • Smells left by a previous owner's pet
    • Yellow marks, which often lift out completely
    Be aware

    These are harder, or not possible

    • Sometimes urine has permanently changed the dye. When that has happened, no cleaning brings the colour back.
    • Years of accidents in one spot may need a second visit.
    • If it has gone into the floorboards, the carpet may need lifting. Rare, but it happens.
    What people say

    Reviews from Bedford homes

    A smell is the one thing a photo can't show you, so this is the proof that counts here.

    FAQ

    The things people ask first

    It depends on how many spots there are and how far in it's gone, which is why I look first. The minimum call-out is £120, and you get the full price before I start.

    Usually, yes. A dog goes back because it can still smell itself there, long after you've stopped smelling anything. Take that away properly and the habit normally stops with it.

    Often, yes. A lot of yellow marks lift out completely and the carpet goes back to its original colour. Sometimes the urine has permanently changed the dye, and when that has happened nothing brings it back. I can usually tell you which one you're dealing with when I look at it.

    Almost never. The tool I use pulls the liquid up through the carpet from the underlay below, so it stays where it is. Only in extreme cases would lifting it be worth considering, and I'd talk that through with you first.
