Cat urine is more concentrated than dog urine and contains sulfur compounds that keep breaking down for months. That slow decay is why the smell can get worse weeks after the accident, not better.
Enzymes are real, but conditional
Enzyme cleaners work only when they stay wet long enough to digest the residue, and only where they physically reach. A light spray on carpet face fiber never touches what soaked into the pad.
The spots people miss
Baseboard backs, wall bottoms behind the carpet tack strip, the underside of a sofa skirt, HVAC returns near the litter area, and closet floors. Vertical marking means the walls need treatment too.
Getting it done in one visit
We treat the mapped areas at every affected depth in the same appointment, then neutralize the room's air path so nothing lingers in the return.
The short version
- ✓Cat urine keeps off-gassing for months
- ✓Vertical marking means walls, not just floors
- ✓Coverage matters more than product brand
Want it handled instead?
We treat homes, vehicles, rentals and businesses across Dallas-Fort Worth, usually same or next day. If the odor comes back, so do we.
