Professional Rug Cleaning in Rancho Bernardo, CA

This Rancho Bernardo project involved a household caring for an aging cat that had begun having accidents on a favorite area rug. Over time, repeated urine exposure led to strong odors that lingered even after spot cleaning. The rug still held sentimental value, and the homeowner hoped it could be saved rather than replaced.

Cat Urine Rug Issues in Rancho Bernardo, CA

When the rug arrived, the odor was immediately noticeable and concentrated in several areas. Cat urine is especially challenging because it crystallizes as it dries, allowing odor to resurface repeatedly. In this case, moisture had reached deep into the rug’s backing, making surface treatment ineffective.

Urine Odor Removal Treatment

To address the problem properly, we used a targeted enzyme-based soak designed specifically for cat urine contamination. This treatment breaks down the urine crystals at the source. After soaking, the rug was thoroughly cleaned using a fiber-safe process and rinsed multiple times to ensure all residue was removed. Controlled drying prevented odor from reappearing.

A Fresh Start for the Home

Once complete, the rug returned clean and odor-free. The homeowner was relieved to keep a rug they loved while continuing to care for their pet with peace of mind.
