Cleaning after pets
You love your dog; you love his hair in the sofa less — and that smell guests notice before you do. After an animal — yours, a tenant's, a house-sit — the home gets made new again.
Hair, marks, odours
Three problems, three treatments
Hair demands equipment: powerful vacuuming with suitable brushes on floors and skirting, a turbo brush on rugs and carpets, special nozzles on sofas, curtains and under furniture — where the family vacuum gives up. Upholstery can receive an injection-extraction that pulls out what the surface hides.
Marks are treated by nature: urine halos with enzymatic destroyers — the only ones effective on the odorous crystals —, paw and nose prints on glass and doors, scratches cleaned and flagged when they call for sanding.
The odour, finally, is not perfumed away: once hair and marks are gone, litter areas and baskets sanitised, an air treatment neutralises what lingers in the textiles. Frequent cases: end of a lease with a pet, a newcomer's allergy, or simply the big clean of a four-pawed household.
After pets: what we get asked
Old markings have often soaked into the supports — skirting, wall bases, sometimes the screed. Enzymatic treatment settles most cases; for deep soakings our odour-treatment page takes over, with an honest diagnosis.
Keep the pet, lose the traces
Type of animal, affected surfaces, textiles involved: the quote sharpens in one exchange.
