Pet accidents - if left untreated - can cause odors, discoloration and lingering bacteria.
We offer several treatment methods, depending on the pet waste penetration to the carpet:

· Level I - Basic Bio Treatment: For mild to moderate biological contamination on the surface area of flooring or fibers.

· Level II - Pad Extraction: A deeper saturation and extraction process for moderate to severe biological seepage that affects carpet backing and/or carpet pad.

· Level III - Replacement: This is a guaranteed method of treatment. The nature of biological issues makes it impossible to guarantee treatment without replacement. Using this method, tack strips, padding and carpeting are replaced.

Our service technician must assess the issues onsite in order to determine the best treatment and price.

CAN I DECLINE A PET SERVICE IF IT’S RECOMMENDED BY A TECHNICIAN?

Most carpet manufacturers recommend your carpet to be professionally cleaned every 12-18 months with a hot water extraction process. This will vary however depending on the usage your carpet gets. Factors include number of people, pets, outdoor environment and how well carpet is maintained between cleanings. Many carpet manufacturers require you have your carpets professionally cleaned every 12-18 months in order to keep the warranty valid on your carpet.

The carpet will be slightly damp after Zerorez® carpet cleaning. Typical dry time is between 4 to 6 hours, depending on the airflow in the home, condition and style of carpet being cleaned. It is completely safe to walk on the carpet with bare feet or white socks as long as you're comfortable with the cleanliness of your feet. We do ask that you are careful when transitioning from the damp carpet to hard surfaces as it may be slippery.

We ask that you remove items such as lamps, picture frames and other fragile items from tabletops and clear floor of toys, books and other small items.

This is especially noticed on light colored carpet. This soiling is called filtration soiling because it comes from air passing through the carpet as it is attempting to get through the space between the carpet and the baseboard or closed door. It happens over a significant period of time and is not noticed until a build-up has occurred.

This type of soiling is difficult to remove because the soil particles are so fine that they penetrate deep into the carpet pile and often into the backing of the carpet. With special effort, reasonable results can sometimes be achieved. To help prevent filtration soiling, vacuum and wipe the edges of the carpet regularly.
