How to Remove Tough Odors Like Cat Urine From Your Home Forever !
If you’ve ever battled the lingering smell of cat urine, you know how stubborn and overwhelming it can be. Standard cleaning products and air fresheners often mask odors temporarily but don’t eliminate them at the source. Left untreated, pet odors can seep into carpets, subfloors, drywall, and even the HVAC system, making it almost impossible to feel truly comfortable in your own home.
At All Dry Services of Cleveland, we specialize in professional odor removal — using advanced, powerful methods that permanently eliminate even the most persistent smells. Here’s what you need to know about removing cat urine odors from your home, and how professional services like ours get the job done right.
Step 1: Start with Surface Cleaning
Before jumping to professional treatments, basic cleaning steps are essential:
Blot fresh accidents immediately using paper towels — avoid rubbing.
Use an enzymatic cleaner made specifically for pet urine. Enzymes can break down uric acid at the molecular level better than standard cleaners.
Remove and replace heavily saturated materials, like carpet pads, if needed.
If these steps don’t fully remove the odor — especially in cases of repeated accidents or old stains — it’s time for professional intervention.
Step 2: How Professionals Like All Dry Services of Cleveland Remove Odors Permanently
At All Dry Services of Cleveland, we don’t just cover up odors — we destroy them at the source using advanced technologies that aren’t available over the counter.
1. Deep Penetration and Extraction
We first locate and identify all odor sources, even those hidden under flooring or inside walls. Specialized equipment, like moisture meters and UV lights, helps pinpoint contaminated areas.
We then treat and extract odors embedded deep within:
Carpets
Subflooring
Drywall
HVAC systems
In some severe cases, minor demolition (like cutting out sections of drywall) might be necessary to fully eliminate contamination.
2. Ozone Treatment
One of the most effective professional tools we use is ozone generation.
Ozone (O₃) is a gas that penetrates materials and oxidizes odor molecules, breaking them down at a chemical level.
Unlike air fresheners that mask smells, ozone neutralizes odors permanently.
High-grade ozone treatments require careful handling, special licensing, and proper safety protocols because high concentrations can be hazardous — that’s why it’s not sold to the public.
Our certified technicians deploy ozone generators only when the home is vacant, ensuring your safety during and after the treatment
3. Chlorine Dioxide Gas Treatment (When Needed)
In some extreme cases — such as deeply ingrained pet odors or after hoarding situations — we also use chlorine dioxide gas (ClO₂).
Chlorine dioxide is a powerful, fast-acting oxidizer.
It can penetrate walls, upholstery, and HVAC systems, destroying odor molecules and bacteria at the source.
Chlorine dioxide treatments are also highly regulated and require trained professionals to apply them safely.
4. Final Deodorization and Protective Measures
After treatment, we conduct a full home inspection to ensure all odors are eliminated. We can also apply odor-blocking sealants to walls or subfloors to prevent any potential future odor release.
Finally, we recommend preventive steps you can take to keep your home smelling fresh — including better ventilation, maintenance of litter areas, and follow-up cleaning protocols.
