Pet stain and odour removal Dublin owners call when the smell keeps coming back.

In most cases we get a very good result, but we won't promise a guaranteed 100% outcome without seeing the affected area first. How well an odour lifts depends on how long it's been there, how much has soaked into the underlay, and how many times the spot has been affected. We'll be upfront with you about what to expect once we've had a look.

Both, where possible — treatment targets the mark as well as the odour. Very old staining can sometimes leave a faint trace even after the smell is gone, and we'll tell you honestly if that's likely before we start.

Yes, we treat both fresh accidents and older, set-in marks. Older stains that have soaked further into the carpet or underlay can be more stubborn, but treating the source still gives the best chance of a lasting result.

We treat what we can access and reach effectively. Urine that's soaked deep into the underlay or subfloor is more challenging than a surface mark, and in some cases the underlay itself may need replacing for a full fix — we'll be honest with you about what's realistic once we've assessed it.

The treatment approach is similar, but cat urine is often more concentrated and can be more noticeable once it's dried, so it may need a bit more attention than a dog stain of a similar size. Either way, we treat the affected area at the source.

It can mean more spots to check and treat, and sometimes overlapping marks that are harder to pin down. Let us know roughly how many pets and any areas you're aware of when you request a quote, so we can plan the visit properly.

Cleaning removes the residue and odour that can attract a pet back to the same spot, which often helps, but we can't promise it'll change your pet's behaviour on its own. If accidents are ongoing, it may be worth speaking to your vet alongside getting the area treated.

Yes — ongoing odour around a litter tray or a favourite spot is something we can treat the same way as a one-off accident, by targeting the source in the carpet or flooring rather than just masking the smell.

We take care with the products and methods we use in homes with pets. As with any carpet cleaning, it's sensible to keep pets off the area until it's dry — we'll give you a realistic time on the day.

Both — pets get up on furniture as well as floors. See our upholstery cleaning page for sofa and armchair treatment, which we can carry out alongside carpet work.

Yes — if pet stains or odours are part of what needs sorting before a handover, this can be combined with our end of tenancy carpet cleaning. Mention it's a pet-related job when you request your quote.

Pet stains and odours, especially urine, need a different approach to a standard spill because of how they soak into the carpet and underlay. See our stain removal page for everyday stains like wine, coffee and mud.

It's usually a sign that contamination reached deeper than the surface, into the underlay or subfloor. An odour that seemed treated can become noticeable again later, particularly in humid weather or if the area gets damp again for any reason, including the water used during a routine carpet clean. If you've seen this happen with a particular spot, let us know when you book so it can be assessed properly.

Broadly similar principles apply — stain and odour treatment appropriate to the fabric involved — but the specifics vary by material. See our upholstery cleaning page for the fuller picture on treating sofas and upholstery specifically.

Yes. Spraying usually hits the base of walls and door frames as well as the carpet, so we treat the carpet edges and the gripper line, not just the middle of the room. Wipe the skirting itself with a pet-safe cleaner, as hard surfaces hold odour too.

Check at floor level on a damp day, when old urine smells strongest, and look for faint rings or stiff patches. An inexpensive UV torch makes old marks glow in a dark room. Mark each one with a sticky note before we arrive.

Yes. Hair woven into the pile is loosened and lifted during the clean, along with the oils and soil that come with it. Regular vacuuming in two directions keeps it from building up again.

Yes, and it's a common reason people call us. We clean the whole floor and give the likely accident spots, by doors, along walls and in corners, a targeted odour treatment. If urine has gone through to the underlay, we'll tell you honestly what to expect.

Not always. Many spots respond well to a treatment that reaches through the carpet. Where urine has soaked the underlay repeatedly in one place, replacing that section is sometimes the only full fix, and we'll tell you if we think that's the case.

Usually, yes. Lift the solids, blot and dab with cold water, and avoid perfumed sprays. The stain and the odour are then treated at the source. See sick stains and odour for the first steps.

More often than in a home without pets, because hair, oils and mud build up faster, especially in halls and wherever the dog lies. Our guide to how often to clean carpets gives a realistic schedule.

We treat the rug, and the odour in it. If urine has soaked into timber floorboards underneath, that's a floor problem rather than a cleaning one, and it may need a flooring specialist to sand or seal it.
