How to Get Pet Smells Out of Your Carpet Without Masking the Problem

🧪Why Pet Smells Stick Around (Even After Cleaning)

Pet urine, dander, and oils don’t just sit on the surface. They:

• Soak deep into the carpet fibers

• Penetrate the backing and padding underneath

• Dry into urine salts, which re-activate with humidity

• Linger in high-traffic zones (like living rooms and doorways)

If the cleaning process doesn’t fully treat the source — or uses too much water without proper extraction it can make the smell worse.

🚫What Doesn’t Work (Stop Wasting Time on These)

• Store-bought sprays: Just cover the smell — don’t treat the bacteria

• Baking soda: Can help temporarily, but often just masks odors

• DIY wet vacs: Can push the urine deeper into the pad

• Air fresheners: Only deal with the air — not the carpet

If you’ve tried these and the smell keeps coming back, it’s time for a deeper solution.

🧼How Reform Fixes Pet Odor at the Root

We use a proven, multi-step process to remove pet odors completely:

1. Inspect and identify problem zones (including sub-surface damage)

2. Apply enzyme-based treatments that break down urine crystals

3. Use low-moisture tools to avoid pushing the mess deeper

4. Neutralize odors not cover them

5. Speed-dry the area to prevent bacteria or mildew from forming

Our cleaning is non-toxic, safe for pets, and dries fast so your carpet is fresh and ready to use the same day.

“I tried everything from vinegar to pet store cleaners, but the smell kept coming back. Reform came in, found the problem under the pad, treated it, and it’s been fresh ever since. They were professional, fast, and super respectful of my space.”
