Question 41

Can you remove pet odors completely?

Accepted Answer

Yes, at AB Rug Cleaner, our process targets odors at their source deep within the fibers and padding, not just on the surface. We work to neutralize the organic matter causing the smell, helping to eliminate both surface odors and the deeper scents that attract pets to mark the same spot again.

Question 47

Can you clean all types of fabrics affected by pet stains?

Question 49

Will my pet try to mark the same spot again after cleaning?
