Can You Cover up Carpet Odor So It Never Returns?

Can You Cover up Carpet Odor So It Never Returns?

When you find yourself with a nasty odor from a pet or toddler accident on your carpets, your first move will be to make the house smell better at any cost. Trying to cover up carpet odor is understandable for the short term, but you will need to confront the source of the odor to actually remove it. Here is how to eliminate the worst odors you face at home without the need for chemical cleaners.

Soil Removal and the Science of Cleaning

The definition of clean has definitely evolved over the years. While "smelling and looking good" used to be the accepted standards for "clean," science tells us that soil removal is the the only way to declare something hygienic. Chemical soap solutions might make an area look or smell clean for a while but the smell and filth remain until the bacteria disappear.

Sandy Springs homeowners who want to understand the science of modern cleaning need only look at the available green carpet cleaning systems on the market to see why soil removal is essential. According to the Carpet & Rug Institute, cleaning systems using nothing but water solutions now deserve platinum certification — the institute's highest standard — because they remove over 90 percent of soils. It doesn't get any cleaner (any greener) than that.

Don't Cover up Carpet Odor

Since soil removal is the only way to make carpets cleaner, any method that attempts to remove stains and smells with heavy perfumes or chemicals will fail. The smell returns as soon as the chemicals and alcohol evaporate from the air. You find yourself left with the original mess.

The only way to stop the odor for good is to attack the bacteria breeding at the source. ZEROREZ® uses nothing more than plant-based enzymes to break down the molecules of harmful substances while eliminating the smells choking the air of your home. Coverups simply don't get the job done.

Pet Accidents and Kid Stains

Between young dogs still in training and children just getting to know the ways of the world, your home may be hit hard by bacteria. Soils can sink into carpeting and begin producing odors that threaten the comfort level of everyone in the house. Naturally, these stains need to be addressed quickly.

To combat the worst situation you might encounter, ZEROREZ® developed a solution known as ZeroStink. Unlike the perfumed solutions you might get from a steam cleaner, ZeroStink breaks down compounds with food-grade cleaning agents. Not only will the smells be neutralized and removed, ZeroStink ensures your pets and children will be safe lounging on the carpet that same night. That's the power of green cleaning.

Before you try to cover up carpet odor with perfumes, realize you are fighting a losing battle. Contact ZEROREZ® to remove the bacteria and odors at the source with a powerful green cleaning formula.
