Getting Animal Urine Out of Carpets

Do you have unwanted smells in your carpets? After moving into a new house almost one year ago, my husband and I have been fighting the “urine smell� in our carpeting left behind by the previous owners. It came to our attention that our house had an unwanted smell that protruded from our floors, especially when everything was closed up for the winter. At first, we were perplexed though since our cat and dog were both house-trained, for more than a year each, these smells were definitely an animal urine smell. Anyone that has come across an animal urine smell on a different occasion will know the smell that I am referring to and can not be mistaken for another one. In addition, it is also important to note that if animal urine is left on a carpet, current animals will also urinate on the carpet to mark his/her territory. It is a vicious circle for pet-owners.

For one year, we tried using name-brand sprays, numerous candles, air-fresheners, steam cleaning machines and so on. Much to our chagrin, nothing seemed to get the smell away from our carpets. It was rather embarrassing having friends over for a dinner party and it was stressful to remember to open a window and spray enough air-freshener before the guests arrived. Therefore I went on a search to find the best solution to this never-ending problem.
