Pet Odor Removal From Carpet in Jackson, TN
4.9 (278 reviews)3 min read
Pet odor removal in Jackson goes after the urine residue that causes the smell. We find it with a UV light and a moisture meter, then treat it and extract it. In most homes the odor is removed or greatly reduced. We cannot promise complete odor removal every time, because some of the source can sit under the carpet.
If you smell it, urine residue is still in the floor. Humid weather brings the smell back out. That is why a house can smell fine in February and worse in July, and why fragrance sprays seem to work for two days.
Removing odor means removing the residue behind it. The treatment has to reach where the contamination sits and then come back out. Anything that treats only the carpet surface leaves the source in place, and the smell comes back on the first humid day.
We inspect with a UV light and a moisture meter, so we know how much of the room is affected before we recommend anything. Isolated pad damage can be flushed by subsurface extraction. If contamination covers more than roughly 30 to 40 percent of a room, replacement is usually the better advice. We do not replace pad or seal subfloors. We refer you to a carpet installer.
Most of the time the odor is removed or greatly reduced. We cannot promise complete odor removal every time, and you should hear that before the work, not after. Because we need to see it, odor work usually starts with an in-home estimate. Call or send an estimate request.

Our Process
Locate With a UV Light
We inspect with a UV light in a darkened room to find contaminated areas, including ones that do not show on the surface or that you never knew were there.
Check With a Moisture Meter
A UV glow can have other causes, so we check with a moisture meter before treating anything. It also tells us whether the pad is involved.
Tell You How Bad It Is
We tell you how much of the room is affected and whether we think cleaning or replacement is the better advice.
Treat the Source
We treat surface contamination with hydrogen peroxide, enzyme or chlorine dioxide based cleaners, matched to how bad it is, and give the treatment time to work.
Subsurface Extraction
Where urine has reached the pad in isolated spots, we flush the fiber, the backing and the pad and pull it all back out without lifting the carpet.
Clean the Surrounding Carpet
We clean the surrounding carpet with hot water extraction so the treated areas do not stand out.
Check It With You
We look at the treated areas with you and explain what to watch for as the carpet dries.
What's Included
- UV light inspection to find the contaminated areas
- A moisture meter check before anything is treated
- An honest read on how much of the room is affected
- Surface or subsurface treatment, matched to what we find
- Time for the treatment to work
- Subsurface extraction for isolated pad damage, with no carpet lifted
- Cleaning of the surrounding carpet
- A look at the treated areas with you before we leave
Realistic Results, Honestly
We would rather set an honest expectation than make a promise we cannot keep.
- In most homes the odor is removed or greatly reduced. That covers the usual case of an occasional accident in a few spots.
- Heavy contamination is different. Where a pet has used the same area again and again over a long time, urine reaches the pad and can go further. Carpet treatment reduces that odor but may not remove it, because part of the source sits under the carpet.
- If contamination covers more than roughly 30 to 40 percent of a room, replacement is usually the better advice. If that is what your home needs, we tell you before any work starts. Pad replacement and subfloor sealing are a carpet installer's work, and we refer you to one.
- Odor can seem stronger for a short time during treatment, as the contamination is stirred up and lifted. It fades as the area dries.
- We cannot promise complete odor removal every time. If some odor is still there after treatment, we would rather you know why than cover it with fragrance.
Safe for Your Family and Pets
Our products are tested and safe for the pets and children who live in the home, and we extract and rinse the treated areas. We do not rely on heavy masking fragrances. For severe allergies or sensitivities, ask about our hypoallergenic cleaner, which has no odor or perfume.
What Customers Say
“Guys were professional and fast. It was a travel trailer that was covered in mud from construction, and 2 dogs with a massive pet odor. The carpets looked brand new for a 20-year-old camper and smelled like it was just off the showroom floor.”
Jon D. · Google review · February 2024 “Great service! They were both professional and knowledgeable. We have two dogs and four kids so our carpet needed a good cleaning. Our staircase was the worst for pet accidents and they removed the stains and odor which was my biggest concern. Highly recommend!”

Pet Odor Carpet Cleaning Questions
Does carpet cleaning remove pet urine?
Regular cleaning removes what is in the face fiber, but urine soaks into the backing and pad. Pet urine treatment reaches that residue and extracts it. Light cases usually clear. Urine that has soaked the pad for years may only improve.
Can you get rid of pet odor completely?
Often, but we cannot promise it every time. In most homes the odor is removed or greatly reduced. Where a pet has used the same spot for years, some of the source sits under the carpet, and treatment may reduce the odor without removing all of it.
Why does the smell come back when it rains?
Urine residue is still in the floor, and humid weather brings the smell back out. If odor returns with humidity, some of the source is still there. That tells you where the remaining contamination is.
Is a deodorizer enough?
No. A deodorizer covers odor for a while, and the source keeps making it. On its own it is a two-day fix.
What if the odor is in the pad?
If the pad damage is in isolated spots, we can flush it with subsurface extraction. If it covers more than roughly 30 to 40 percent of the room, replacement is usually the better advice, and we tell you that before any work starts. We do not replace pad or seal subfloors. We refer you to a carpet installer for that.
How do I find all the spots?
Often you cannot by sight, because urine spreads underneath well beyond the visible mark. We use a UV light in a darkened room to find it, then check each spot with a moisture meter. That is why we look at odor work in person before we prepare an estimate.
How do you decide between surface and subsurface treatment?
The inspection decides it. Light, surface-level contamination is treated with hydrogen peroxide, enzyme or chlorine dioxide based cleaners. Where the moisture meter shows urine has reached the backing or pad, we flush and extract below the surface.
Wondering about cost? We do not post prices, but you can see what affects the price of carpet cleaning.
