This new customer in Marysville called because they were embarrassed by their staircase. Not because it looked terrible at first glance, but because it smelled. Their dog loved laying at the base of the carpeted stairs, and over time that spot absorbed everything. Body oils. Pet odor. That heavy, stale smell that does not go away no matter how much you vacuum.

They had tried air fresheners and spot cleaners, but nothing really fixed the problem. It just covered it up for a little while.

That is usually when people realize it is time for professional cleaning.

Why Staircases Trap Pet Odors So Easily

Carpeted staircases are one of the worst places for pet odor buildup. The carpet gets constant contact, limited airflow, and very little deep cleaning compared to open rooms. When a dog lays in the same spot every day, oils and moisture soak deep into the carpet backing.

Once that happens, surface cleaning will not touch it. The odor keeps coming back because it was never removed at the source.

This staircase had that exact issue.

Inspecting the Staircase Before Cleaning

Before starting, I inspected the carpet and padding at the base of the stairs. The carpet fibers were still in good shape, which was a relief. The problem was not damage. It was embedded soil and pet oils that had built up over time.

That meant the odor could be removed properly with the right approach.

Using Citrus Solvents to Break Down Pet Oils

Pet odors cling to oils. To remove them, you have to break those oils down first. For this job, I used natural citrus solvents designed to loosen embedded pet oils without being harsh.

Citrus based products are effective and leave the area smelling clean instead of chemically. Once the oils were released, the carpet was ready for deep extraction.

Truck Mounted Cleaning for Real Odor Removal

This is where professional equipment matters. High powered truck mounted hot water extraction delivers the heat and vacuum needed to flush contaminants from deep within the carpet and padding. That process removes what causes the odor instead of masking it.

As the cleaning progressed, the smell began to fade quickly. That is always the sign that the source is actually being removed.

The Difference After Cleaning

Once the staircase was cleaned and drying, the area smelled clean and fresh again. No pet odor. No lingering smell. Just a neutral, clean space.

The customer said this was the first time the staircase had actually smelled good in a long time. That reaction never gets old.
