I love our golden retriever, Daisy—but a week of rainy afternoons turned our Wesley Chapel living room into a mystery of pet urine odors. I tried every store spray and baking soda trick. Nothing touched the smell, and steam cleaning in the past left our carpet wet for a day, and the odor crept back.
This time, I booked Chem-Dry of Tampa. From the first call, they asked smart questions: where we noticed the odor, how old the spots might be, and whether the carpet had ever been steam cleaned. When the team arrived, they did a quick walk-through and used a UV light to map the hidden problem areas—turns out, Daisy had a few “favorite corners” I didn’t know about.
They explained their approach in plain English: first, their Hot Carbonating Extraction (HCE) to lift soil and residues with about 80% less water than steam, then P.U.R.T.® for the odor itself. The key difference, they said, is that P.U.R.T. gets down to the crystalized urine salts that cause the smell—so it doesn’t just mask it; it neutralizes it.
What I noticed most? No harsh chemical smell, no sticky residue, and the carpet dried in about two hours. By dinner, our living room was back in rotation no fans running all night, no “don’t walk here” signs, and no wet-dog-after-smell I’ve come to expect from other cleaners.
The next morning was the real test. I opened the front door after school drop-off, and the house just smelled clean—not perfumed, just neutral and fresh. Even my husband (the resident skeptic) admitted the odor was gone, not covered. The high-traffic lane from the foyer into the family room looked brighter, and our area rug by the sliding doors felt soft again. The tech suggested a protectant to help future spills bead up on the fibers, and I’m glad we did it already saved me from a juice episode.
For fellow Wesley Chapel pet owners: if you’ve tried everything and the odor always returns, Chem-Dry’s low-moisture HCE + P.U.R.T.® combo is the first thing that actually worked for us. Fast, respectful, and no upsell pressure—just results.
