Pet stain and odor removal for Sterling homes
A pet accident soaks past the carpet into the pad below. Cleaning the top of the carpet makes the spot look better for a while, but the smell stays, and it comes back on humid days or after the next cleaning.
We find where the urine soaked in and treat it down to that level, so the odor is broken down instead of covered up. Carpet, rugs and furniture can all be treated, and we tell you up front if a spot has set too long to come out completely.
Several reviewers mention that their whole house smelled clean when we left, not just the spot we treated.

Sterling, KS
Why pet stain and odor removal matters in Sterling
Dogs walk the trail around Sterling Lake and come home sandy and damp. Accidents and wet-dog smell sink down into the pad. We treat pet urine at the source so the odor goes away instead of hiding under a scent.
Sterling's 1929 flood came from a six-inch rain on Cow Creek that sent water into town from the northwest, and the Arkansas River flooded again in 1973. The ground here is sandy enough that Sterling Lake itself began as a sandpit, and that fine sand tracks in easily. College move-in and move-out each fall and spring add heavy traffic in rentals and dorms.
Sterling is an older town, and Census estimates put the typical home's build year in the mid-1950s, with many built before 1940. Student rentals near the college sit alongside older family homes and landmarks like Cooper Hall and the Sterling Carnegie Library. We clean homes, rentals and businesses across Sterling. Sterling is about 25 miles northwest of Hutchinson by road.

Why does pet stain and odor removal matter in Sterling?
Dogs walk the trail around Sterling Lake and come home sandy and damp. Accidents and wet-dog smell sink down into the pad. We treat pet urine at the source so the odor goes away instead of hiding under a scent.
What methods do you use for pet stain and odor removal?
We combine treatments made for pet urine with cleaning equipment made for pet stains and odors. Our process reaches the fibers and padding of carpet and upholstery, so it is not only a surface treatment.
Why does the pet smell keep coming back?
It usually means the source is still below the surface. Urine soaks past the top of the carpet. Treating it where it settled is what stops the smell from coming back.
Can you remove old pet stains?
Many of them, yes. Results depend on the carpet and how long the stain has been there. We will tell you honestly what to expect.
When can my pets walk on the carpet again?
Once it is dry. The Carpet and Rug Institute says to let carpet dry completely before walking on it. Ask us about the products we use for your home when you book. Humane World for Animals also advises against ammonia or vinegar on pet accidents, since strong chemical smells can encourage a pet to mark the same spot again.
Should I clean a pet accident myself first?
Blot up as much as you can with a clean towel. Try not to scrub, because it pushes the stain deeper. Then call us if it leaves a mark or a smell.
What are your hours for Sterling customers?
We are open 7 AM to 6 PM most days, and 8 AM to 6 PM on Saturday. Call (620) 200-1546 or use the quote form, and we will find a time that works.
