Pet Stain and Odour Removal Canberra | Totally Green Cleaning Solutions

Can old pet stains be removed from upholstery?
Yes, older stains can often be treated successfully with professional cleaning, though results depend on the fabric type and how long the stain has been present. Experts use targeted cleaning solutions that lift dried residue while protecting delicate upholstery fibres. In some cases, multiple treatments may be recommended for complete stain and odour removal. Professional care is especially important for upholstery because DIY methods may damage fabric or push stains deeper.
Are pet stain and odour removal products safe for pets and children?
When handled by professionals, yes. Many cleaning companies now use eco-friendly, non-toxic products that are specially designed to be safe for children, pets, and allergy sufferers. Unlike harsh chemicals, these solutions neutralise odours and stains without leaving harmful residues behind. Always ask your cleaner about the products they use — reputable services prioritise safety while still delivering powerful cleaning results.
Why does my carpet smell worse after cleaning?
Sometimes odours intensify temporarily after carpet cleaning if the urine crystals are reactivated by moisture but not fully neutralised. This often happens with DIY cleaning or standard steam cleaning. A professional treatment targets the crystals with specific neutralisers, preventing the odour from returning. If carpets smell worse after cleaning, it usually means the urine penetrated into the underlay or padding, and deeper treatment is required to fully eliminate it.
