PET ODOR REMOVAL COLCHESTER CT
Why Covering Pet Odors Doesn’t Work
To understand why masking pet odors is ineffective, it’s important to know what’s actually causing the smell.
Fresh urine typically has minimal odor. The problem begins when urine starts to break down and releases ammonia gas. As decomposition continues, it produces mercaptans—foul-smelling organic compounds from the same chemical family as skunk spray.
Natural bacteria attack the urine, breaking down urea, sodium chloride, lipids, and phosphorus- and potassium-containing compounds. This process leaves behind phosphate salts that bond to carpet fibers, making them extremely difficult to remove. These salts are the true source of persistent odors—they activate when exposed to heat and humidity.
When pets repeatedly urinate in the same spot, they’re essentially reactivating these salt deposits with body heat and moisture, making the odor increasingly stronger each time.
