Surface cleaning never fixes pet urine — it soaks through to the pad and subfloor. In Holderness, that's the smell that comes back every humid day. We treat it where it actually lives.
Squam is exclusive by tradition, and Holderness cleaning reflects it: old-money camps and estates, antique and oriental rugs, natural-fiber upholstery, and owners who value discretion and care over speed. Many of these homes are seasonal and handed down through families, so the furnishings are older and finer than average — exactly the pieces that need colorfast testing and a controlled, low-moisture method rather than an aggressive soak.
Family camps on Squam often hold heirloom rugs and vintage upholstery. Those are the pieces to clean carefully and on a schedule — not the ones to hand to whoever’s fastest and cheapest. We test, we go gentle, and we treat an old family camp’s furnishings like they can’t be replaced, because they can’t.
Dog and cat urine doesn't sit on top of the carpet. It wicks down through the fibers into the backing, the pad, and sometimes the subfloor, where it crystallizes — and every humid day those crystals reactivate and the smell returns. Surface shampooing only masks it. We find the affected areas (a UV light shows what the eye misses), then treat them with an enzyme digester that breaks down the odor compounds, and use deep subsurface extraction to flush the contamination out of the padding, not just the surface.
For heavy or long-standing contamination, we'll tell you honestly when pad replacement is the better call — because no amount of cleaning fixes a saturated pad.
Spot treatments start around $40–$75 per area; full subsurface urine decontamination is quoted by the size of the affected area after a quick inspection.
We remove it. Enzyme digesters break down the odor-causing compounds, and subsurface extraction flushes them out of the pad. Deodorizers that only mask odor are a short-term fix we don't rely on.
Yes. The enzyme and cleaning products are safe for pets and children once the area is dry. We keep everyone off the treated area until it's fully dried.
Often the odor can be neutralized even when some staining is permanent. If urine has saturated the pad or subfloor, replacing the pad in that spot is the honest fix — we'll tell you when that's the case.
