Rug Odor Treatment — Treated at the Source, Not Masked.

Pet urine, smoke, and water damage odor — treated during the wash itself. Not temporarily masked but permanently removed, with 100% guaranteed odor removal verified before your rug ever leaves our facility.

What We Treat

Pet Urine

Breaks down and removes odor-causing residue from deep in the fibers and backing, not just the surface.

Smoke Odor

Lifts smoke particles settled into fibers, common after a fire or in homes with heavy indoor smoking.

Water Damage Odor

Treats musty or mildew smell from a rug that stayed wet too long or dried incorrectly. Water-damaged rug? Get it to us as soon as possible. The longer it stays wet, the more likely mold is to start and the harder dye bleed is to correct.

Why It's Different Here

  • Part of the wash, not an add-on spray — happens during Stage 2 (Wash & Treat) of our 5-stage process
  • Full immersion — treatment reaches the backing, where odor actually lives
  • In-house, at the same facility as your full rug wash — we control the entire process

How It Works

1

Inspection

We check the rug for odor, including corners and edges, before treatment begins.

2

Targeted Treatment

The affected areas get treated directly, reaching the fibers and backing where odor actually lives.

3

Full Wash, Rinse & Dry

The rug goes through our complete wash process, then is rinsed and dried under controlled conditions.

Your Rug Pad Matters Too

Odor often lives in the pad, not just the rug. We can wash any rug pad that's stable enough to be washed, along with your rug. If yours can't go through the wash, areplacement can be purchased.

100% Guaranteed Odor Removal

Because the rug leaves your home and is fully submerged here, in a process we control start to finish, every rug is inspected for odor — corners included — before it's wrapped for delivery. If any odor remains, we rewash it. Your rug doesn't leave our facility until it's verified odor-free.

Pricing

Odor treatment is a flat add-on to your rug's base fiber pricing, applied only when odor is present.

Add-On

  • Odor Treatment — +$1.00/sqft: added on top of your rug's base fiber price, only when odor is present.

Before & After

Same rug after odor treatment
Rug before odor treatment

This rug was heavily soiled and had a strong odor throughout — both the dirt and the smell were treated in the same wash.

Rug Care Tip

Odor hides in corners and edges first. If a rug smells worse when it's warm or humid, the source is usually in the backing, not the surface — that's why a spray or at-home cleaner only helps for a day or two.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will the smell come back after treatment?
No. Odor is treated at the source during the wash, and every rug is smell-checked before delivery. If any odor remains, we rewash it.
Can you treat old, deep-set pet odor?
Yes. Full immersion reaches deeper into fibers and backing than at-home treatments can.
Is odor treatment included in a regular wash?
It's a +$1.00/sqft add-on, applied only when odor is present.
Does the rug pad get treated?
We can wash any rug pad that's stable enough to be washed. If yours can't go through the wash, we'll tell you and you can buy a replacement from us.
