Q: Why does my carpet still smell like pee after cleaning?

• <div><p>If the chemical compounds that make up pet pee haven&rsquo;t been properly neutralized, the smell of urine can be reactivated with water and linger even after cleaning. You may also notice a remaining pee smell in carpets if the urine has soaked down to the carpet padding, which is more difficult to access and clean than the carpet itself.</p></div>

Q: What absorbs musty smells in a basement?

• <div><p>Virtually any material in your basement can absorb and hold onto musty odors, including building materials like wood framing, insulation, drywall, and flooring, as well as cloth furniture, clothes, area rugs, cardboard boxes in storage, and more. If you&rsquo;re looking to get rid of the musty smell in your basement, it&rsquo;s a good idea to remove or replace these items and address the underlying moisture issue for the fastest results.</p></div>

Q: Can I vacuum once a month?

• <div><p>While you might get away with once-monthly vacuuming in rooms you hardly use, it&rsquo;s not ideal in other parts of your home. Your living spaces will look untidy, and leaving all that dirt lying around is not the most hygienic. Plus, the longer abrasive debris sits on your surfaces, the more chance of scratches or damage to carpet fibers. </p></div>

Q: How do you tell if a carpet has been professionally cleaned?

• <div><p>Looking clean is only half the battle. A professionally cleaned carpet should feel soft and fluffy, i.e., not caked down with dirt or matted from excess cleaning product. It will not have any unpleasant odors, since carpet cleaners go deep enough to eliminate the most sunk-in smells. It should also be free of stains or discoloration from heavy foot traffic. Keep in mind that, in some cases, your cleaner may not be able to remove every stain.</p></div>
