Why does my carpet smell like urine after shampooing?

So, why does my shampooed carpet smell like urine? When the carpet is washed with water, the urine spreads and the ammonia and bacteria present reactivate. This is how you acquire a stinky carpet after cleaning it.


Are carpet cleaning chemicals safe?

Carpet cleaning is a relatively safe method that uses sanitation and hot water to take dirt and grime from carpets while also sterilizing the carpet. Carpet cleaning chemicals should not be inhaled directly, but they are generally safe with limited exposure.


Can carpet cleaning kill fleas?

Professional carpet cleaning is one of the most effective and efficient ways to get rid of a flea infestation. Professional carpet cleaners employ equipment and techniques that can totally eliminate a flea colony while also assisting in the destruction of the flea life cycle.


How does a carpet cleaning machine work?

Carpet cleaners employ a clean solution, strong scrubbing brushes, and vacuum suction. Carpet cleaners inject a cleaning solution and water solution deep into the carpet fibres. Brushes then agitate, scrape, and remove the filth and/or stain before being lifted away by the intense vacuum suction.


Should I have my carpet professionally cleaned?

If you want to extend the life of your carpets, you should get them professionally cleaned at least once a year. Most carpet makers recommend steam cleaning.
