A Guide to Pet Urine Odor Removal from Carpets in Kenya by Kejani Cleaning Services Limited

If you’re a pet lover or a parent, you’ve likely faced the dreaded moment of discovering urine on your carpet—from a cat, dog, toddler, or even an accidental spill. The lingering urine smell can feel impossible to get rid of. So, the big question is:

Will carpet cleaning remove urine smell?
Will it get rid of cat urine?
Will it eliminate dog pee odors?

The quick answer?

✅ Yes, professional carpet cleaning can remove urine smells—if done correctly and using the right products and techniques.

In this detailed guide by Kejani Cleaning Services Limited, we’ll explain:

• Why urine smells linger

• How cat and dog urine differ

• What professional carpet cleaning can (and can’t) do

• The best treatments for complete odor and stain removal

• What to expect when you book professional urine cleaning services in Kenya

Why Does Urine Smell Linger in Carpets?

Urine isn’t just a liquid—it contains:

• Urea (waste compound that breaks down into ammonia)

• Uric acid crystals (very hard to remove)

• Bacteria (which feeds on moisture and causes odor)

When urine gets into a carpet:

1. It soaks deep into the fibers and padding.

2. If untreated, bacteria grows, producing that strong ammonia smell.

3. As it dries, uric acid crystals settle into the fibers and resist basic cleaning.

This is why a carpet that looks clean can still smell like urine, especially on humid days.

Will Carpet Cleaning Remove Urine Smell?

Yes, professional carpet cleaning can eliminate urine smell—but it must be done with the right approach.

Let’s break it down by method:

1. Hot Water Extraction (Steam Cleaning)

This is the gold standard used by Kejani Cleaning Services Limited.

• High-pressure steam penetrates deep into the carpet fibers.

• Specialized enzyme-based cleaners break down uric acid crystals and kill bacteria.

• Powerful suction removes moisture, dirt, and odor-causing residue.

🧼 Result: Fresh, odor-free carpet with zero pee smell when done properly.

2. Enzymatic Urine Treatment

Before carpet deep cleaning, we apply a urine neutralizer that contains enzymes designed to:

• Break down urine proteins and acids

• Destroy the bacteria that cause smell

• Work beneath the surface—not just on top

This is crucial for cat urine, which tends to be more pungent and persistent than dog urine.

3. Odor Blocking Rinse or Deodorizer

After cleaning, we apply a deodorizer or odor sealant that locks in any remaining smells and prevents recurrence—perfect for homes with repeat pet accidents.

What About DIY Carpet Cleaning? Will That Work?

A home vacuum or small carpet shampoo machine will:

• Clean surface-level dirt

• Make the carpet look clean

• But NOT remove deep-seated urine smell or bacteria

In fact, DIY cleaning without urine-neutralizing agents can reactivate odors. Heat and moisture can cause old pee crystals to release new smells—making the problem worse.

So, for stubborn urine problems, professional carpet treatment is essential.

Will Carpet Cleaning Remove Cat Urine?

Yes—but cat urine is notoriously strong and needs special treatment.

• Cat urine has concentrated ammonia and sulfur, which makes it cling to carpet fibers and padding.

• It’s common for cat pee odor to remain even after regular carpet shampooing.

✅ At Kejani Cleaning Services Limited, we use cat-specific urine treatments with enzymes to eliminate the odor from both the carpet surface and underlayment.

Will Carpet Cleaning Remove Dog Urine?

Yes. Dog urine is less concentrated than cat urine, but it still causes:

• Bacteria buildup

• Odors as it dries

• Carpet discoloration

Regular steam cleaning can remove fresh and even old dog urine spots—especially if the padding hasn’t been permanently damaged.

Tip: The sooner we clean it, the better the results. Don’t wait weeks for stains to set.

What If the Smell Still Comes Back?

Sometimes the urine has soaked into the carpet padding or subfloor. If that happens:

• The carpet can be cleaned

• But padding replacement or deep subfloor treatment may be necessary

We assess this during our inspection and let you know the extent of the damage before proceeding.

Will Carpet Cleaning Remove Pet Urine Stains?

Stains and smell are two different things.

• Fresh stains: Often removed with enzyme treatment and steam cleaning

• Old stains: May lighten significantly, but permanent discoloration can occur depending on carpet type

We offer spot dyeing or patch replacement options in extreme cases.
