Urine Odour Control & Removal

Banner

Knowledge

There are 2 main components you need to address to remove the odour:

  1. Crystalline Salt Deposits
  2. Bacterial growth

AstroIt is impossible to remove urine by normal cleaning. One of urine’s main ingredients is Uric Acid, which leaves the body at a pH of 5-6 (as an acid). When urine begins to dry, it changes it hydrogen content and forms crystalline salts, which takes on an alkaline pH.

The colour change that we so commonly see on carpet occurs because the urine oxidises and reacts with the carpet. The strong ammonia smell comes about as the urine goes through chemical and bacterial changes.

Bacteria grow abundantly in dark, warm places. The bacterial growth and breakdown or urine creates amino acids. These complex organic compounds will often work deep into the fibres to a point of becoming part of the fibre itself. This can present a challenging situation.

The urine becomes more of a problem when moisture is added (such as when a carpet is cleaned) or in high humidity. The crystalline salts absorb water and moisture and put out an ammonia gas when this occurs. Bacteria cause ammonia gas as well. That is why it is common for urine odours to 'pop up' during or after you have cleaned a carpet with old urine spots.

We can remove or improve the odour depending of your level of tolerance you have. It can be a big job to remove the odour but we can guarantee 100% removal.
