Carpet Deodorizing in Studio City, CA

What deodorizing actually involves on a Studio City job

We inspect before anything gets wet. A UV lamp in a darkened room shows urine spread. A moisture meter reads how deep it went. We map edges with tape, then pull back a corner where we can. Odor almost never lives in the face yarn. It sits in the backing, the pad, and the slab below.

Then the treatment matches the source. Urine salts get a hydrolyzing or enzyme product injected under pressure, not misted on top. Cooking oil and smoke residue need a solvent-side pre-spray first. Sub-surface extraction pulls contaminated liquid out of the pad. Rinsing with a plain acidic rinse afterward keeps residue from grabbing new soil. Fragrance masking gets used last, or not at all.

Slab installs are the hard ones. Concrete is porous and spills wick down. Heat then drives the odor back up. Sometimes the honest answer is sealing the slab and replacing pad in that area.

Air here is dry, so crystallized urine can smell fine in January and terrible in a September heat wave. Wool and wool-blend area rugs over hardwood get lifted and floated, or washed off-site.

We quote firmly after the inspection, before work starts.
