Odour Removal Blog

Have you ever moved into a house and the house stinks? You wish that you could have the odour removed. You think it is just because the house has been locked up so you open up the house and try and keep it well ventilated. This seems to ease the smell. When you go away for a long weekend and return home, the house stinks again. The first thing you realise is that it is coming from the carpet – there is nothing worse than a smelly carpet!

Unfortunately these days, 80% of the carpet cleaning industry is not qualified. One of the main problems is that after cleaning carpets are left wet and may take days to dry. This is a real concern with rentals as when tenants exit houses, they can be locked up for a few days which adds to the unbearable smell.

I have unfortunately experienced this first hand. The house I am currently renting is located in Brisbane at Alexandra Hills. Every time the house gets locked up the carpets start to smell all over again. There is a bacteria that is in the carpet and unfortunately the only way to get rid of it is to get the carpet re cleaned and also have a carpet sanitising treatment performed.

All of the All Aces Services technicians are fully qualified and trained through the Institute of Inspection, Cleaning and Restoration Certification. At All Aces Services we are always completing re cleans as carpets are constantly being left wet and stains and marks that should be coming out are not. We are also trained in odour removal. One of main goals at All Aces Services is to educate to the public in a choosing a carpet cleaning that has a qualification behind them.

More and more tenants are having to pay another carpet cleaner to re clean their carpet in hope to get their bond back as the first attempt has failed. Often the first carpet cleaner did not guarantee their work. At All Aces Services we are proud of the fact that we do have 100% money back guarantee. If you are not happy with your carpet clean or it did not pass the inspection we will come back and re clean it for you. If it still does not pass the inspection we will give you your money back 100%.

Don’t be left with a smelly carpet. Call All Aces Services today on 1800 00 1010 for odour removal and to book in your clean.

We received an urgent call to attend to a property at Raceview for water damage.  A pipe had burst in the vanity unit causing flooding to a three bedroom home.  Due to the water damage, the tenants had quickly vacated the property.

We headed straight out there and took moisture readings throughout the property.  The loungeroom had a very high moisture content.  We lifted the carpet to realise that a dog had been using the lounge room carpet as a toilet!

There was a strong odour present and we realised that just a carpet clean was not going to remove the urine.  Urine is Uric Acid which leaves your body at a pH level of 5-6.  When urine dries it turns into a crystalline salt.  Sometimes the colour will change as the urine reacts with the carpet.  The reason why there is often a strong odour is because the urine goes through a chemical change which sets off a gas.

Where a lot of people make the mistake is that as soon as they notice the stain or smell, they apply water or they call some cheap carpet cleaner in to clean and deodorise the carpets.  Big Mistake!!

Urine becomes worse when moisture is added or there is high humidity.  The crystalline salts absorb water and moisture and put out an ammonia gas.  This leaves your carpets smelling worse than before you cleaned them.

What we had to do to rectify the problem from the urine was to start by cutting out the affected underlay.  We treated the subfloor, relaid new underlay and treated both sides of the carpet.  We then cleaned the area with our 10 step deluxe carpet cleaning system.

You can see the end results:

The stains were completely gone and 100% of the odour was removed.  If you have any questions about water damage or urine odour removal please see our website or call our friendly trained staff on 1800 00 1010.  We have solutions for your problems that are guaranteed 100%.
