Living in Riverview with two rescue dogs means our home is full of love, but also full of the occasional pet accident. After years of dealing with older carpet in the family room, a sour odor started lingering no matter how much we cleaned. We tried everything: enzyme sprays, baking soda treatments, even renting a DIY machine from a hardware store. Nothing reached whatever was buried deep in the padding.
We nearly gave up and started budgeting for new carpet.
Then a coworker in Panther Trace recommended Chem-Dry of Tampa, specifically for their pet-urine removal service. She told me they had taken care of odors she thought were “unfixable,” so we decided to schedule an appointment.
From the moment the technician arrived, the difference in professionalism was clear. Instead of guessing, he used a UV detection light to identify every hidden spot, some we didn’t even know were there. He explained how pet urine crystals harden in the carpet backing and require a treatment that breaks them down, not just covers them up.
Chem-Dry’s P.U.R.T. process didn’t mask the smell; it eliminated it.
By the time the carpets dried later that afternoon, the air in the room felt noticeably fresher. The dog smell that had become “normal” to us was suddenly gone. Even the faint yellow shadow near the sliding door, which nothing had ever touched before, disappeared completely.
For the first time in years, our family room felt clean again, truly clean.
If you’re in Riverview and tired of pet odors returning days after cleaning, Chem-Dry of Tampa is the first company that gave us real results.
