Many store bought carpet cleaning pet stain removers have been made that claim to remove urine stains and other bad odor issues. There are absorbent carpet cleaning products, deodorizers, enzymes, and many other pet odor removal products out there, but do they really remove the stains or just covers them up?  TLC Carpet Care in Castle Rock Co has found that many of them claim that you can simply spray the product and the stain will go away. Let’s go over the types of odor removal chemicals agents.

Masking Agents – Just as the name says, a masking agent simple masks the smell and doesn’t really do anything but cover the odor up for a while, but once a humid day comes then the odor becomes airborne again, so it has to be applied over and over again to keep up with the ammonia gasses. This is not helpful for three reasons – the first reason is EXPENSE, to have to pay to have it applied time after time! It is very expensive to purchase a product over and over again with no lasting solution. The second reason is that when you apply any odor removal solution to urine you are changing the chemical structure of the urine itself making it more difficult to remove. The third reason RESIDUE! Many of these masking agents will leave a soapy residue because of its high ph contact that can make that area get dirty quicker which will cause chronic spotting to the carpet and lessen it’s effectiveness. This makes future accept cleaning more difficult. 

Pairing Agents – These type of pet odor removal chemicals  work on an ionic or molecular level. How it works is a malodor smelling molecule carpet cleaning chemical that will bond with urine molecule to create an odorless molecule. To put it in layman's terms, the pairing agent odor removal product neutralizes the bad ammonia gasses. TLC Carpet Care has found that these carpet cleaning agents can be effective sometimes,  however one problem we see is that when using pairing chemicals, the actual source of the odor isn’t being removed from the backing carpet and padding. We firmly believe the carpet and padding  should be a 100% clean.

BioModifier Enzyme Agents – TLC Carpet Care in Castle Rock Co uses BioModifier Enzymes solutions that are good bacteria and their job is to search out bad bacteria such as the kind in urine that causes the odor. When the enzymes encounter the bad bacteria they begin to digest the urine and eat which destroys the malodor causing ammonia gasses. Enzymes are an excellent way to fully eradicate the urine permanently.  When it comes to pet odor and stain removal TLC Carpet Care has the solution for your pet stain and odor problems.
