Local Carpet Cleaner Beats Dog

AGENTS!  Considering laying bear-claw-traps in the living room to prevent teary-eyed, pinch-nosed prospects from breaking down the front door to make their get-away?   It must be hard to gracefully showcase crown-molding or energy star ratings from behind a gas-mask.  Unless you want to lace the foyer with flypaper, then perhaps, keeping a professional carpet cleaner's card at hand may be a prudent move.  This is never more true than when it comes to stubborn, super-present dog and cat odors. 

Sure people want to save money—especially these days.  And most of the time, a well-meaning Do-It-Yourselfer may be able to rent a rug-doctor thingy and make their carpet acceptable for an open house.  But sometimes, in some houses, they don't need a rug doctor. What they need is a witch doctor!  Animal odors are exactly one of those sometimes.  By the time a carpet has been scrubbed, dried, and time has passed enough to make an accurate odor assessment, half a week has passed.   And what do they likely discover?  Afraid that likely, the impudent pungency insisted on staying up like a stubborn 5-year old waiting for their parent's party guests to arrive.  Only these party guests are supposed to want to buy this house!  Busy real estate agents don't have that kind of time to wait, especially for such a result.  A professional cleaner has a reputation on the line to get it done right, quickly, and with some level of a service guarantee. 

Besides, it is amazing what carpet cleaners have at their disposal these days!  Electronic salt probes discover deposits hid deep underneath carpet padding. Used with the right chemicals, those salt deposits are eliminated using Sub-surface extractors.  Expensive machines produce Ozone gases that permeate microscopic pores of the items possibly harboring even more off-gassers.  Then there's also the intensive UV detection lights.  With these, professional cleaners scour and spot invisible odor sources throughout house imitating one of those overly caffeinated cast-members from C.S.I. Miami  (only, with more of a nose for odor than an eye for fashion). 

To move a smelly house the odor's got to move first.  Therefore, any agent would do well to team up with a local odor-fighting professional.  Learning a bit about their methods and  the ways they wage war against all things malodorous may save real estate agents significant time and frustration as they place the right buyer in the right house right now!
