Do you have a dog that you love more than anything? Most people in Roseville do! Our dogs are our best friends. They go for walks with us at Maidu Park and snuggle with us on the sofa. But sometimes, even the best dogs have accidents. If your dog has an accident on a thick wool rug, it can be a big problem. You might try to clean it yourself, but the smell just won’t go away.
At Moser Bros. Floor & Fabric Cleaning, we hear this all the time. People ask us if we can really get 100% of the smell out. The answer is yes, but it takes more than just a spray bottle. It takes science and special tools. We are experts in Pet urine extraction and we want to help you get your home back to being fresh and clean. Check out our Sacramento rug guide to see how we care for your home’s treasures.
Have you ever noticed that your rug smells fine on a dry day, but then smells terrible when it rains? Or maybe the smell comes back when you turn off the air conditioner on a hot summer afternoon. This is not your imagination! It happens because of how wool rugs react to moisture in the air.
Wool is a natural fiber that loves to “breathe.” When the air in Roseville gets humid, the wool fibers soak up tiny bits of water from the air. This water wakes up the old urine salts hiding deep inside the rug. These salts are one of the main wool rug odor causes. When they get damp, they turn into a gas that floats into your nose. This is why a rug can seem “clean” for a month and then suddenly start to stink again. To stop the smell, you have to get rid of those salts, not just the liquid.
Think of a thick wool rug like a very dense forest. The “pile” is the fuzzy part on top that feels soft on your feet. When a dog has an accident, the liquid doesn’t just sit on the leaves of the trees. It runs all the way down the trunks to the ground. This is what we call rug pile urine penetration.
In a thick rug, the liquid can travel several inches down. It hits the “foundation” or the back of the rug. Sometimes, it even goes through the rug and onto the floor underneath! Because wool is so good at hiding things, you might only see a small wet spot on top. But underneath, there could be a much bigger puddle. This is why vacuuming or light scrubbing doesn’t work. You are only cleaning the “leaves” of the forest, but the “roots” are still dirty. We use tools that reach all the way to the bottom to pull that liquid back up.
We know that trust is very important. You don’t want to spend money and still have a smelly house. That is why we are very honest with our customers in Roseville. In almost every case, we can remove 100% of the odor. We are so confident in our work that we offer a rug odor guarantee.
If we take your rug to our shop for a full-immersion bath, we make sure it smells fresh before we bring it back. We use our noses to check every inch of the rug. If we still smell something, we wash it again! However, we also tell you the truth: if a rug has been wet for a very long time and has “dry rot,” we will let you know. We want you to have realistic expectations. But for most rugs with dog accidents, our deep-cleaning process is like magic. We remove the cause of the smell so it can’t come back on a humid day.
A lot of companies in Roseville will say they can “deodorize” your rug. Usually, this means they spray a nice-smelling perfume on top of the rug. This might make the room smell like lemons or flowers for a few hours. But the dog urine is still inside the rug! This is a “mask,” not a cure.
Professional rug deodorizing at Moser Bros. is different. We don’t just hide the smell; we perform true extraction. This means we use a special machine to push clean water into the rug and suck the dirty urine out at the same time. We keep doing this until the water coming out is as clear as a mountain stream. After the extraction, we use enzymes to eat any tiny bits of bacteria that are left. This is the only way to get a 100% clean result. Extraction removes the problem, while a spray just hides it.
You don’t have to live with a smelly rug. Your home should be a place where you can relax and breathe easy. Whether you live in a new house in West Roseville or an older home near Old Town, Moser Bros. is ready to help.
