If you have a pet, then you know that cleaning your carpet after an accident can be hard to do. Pet urine saturates your carpet fibers until it eventually settles into the padding itself. Over time, the smell of ammonia will permeate throughout your home, creating an environment that is both uninviting to your guests and harmful to your respiratory system.
Soap and water can remove the stain from the surface of your carpet, but it won’t eliminate the odor.
Amateur carpet cleaners can try to mask the ammonia, but the perfumes will fade with time.
What you need is a professional carpet cleaning company, like Aqualux, to emulsify your carpet with enzymes that will digest the dirt and bacteria left behind by urine. Enzyme digestion is the only way pet odor and bacteria can be fully removed from your carpet.
En-zy-WHAT, now?
Enzymes are proteins that break down organic material. They exist inside all living organisms—yes, that means even you have enzymes inside you, breaking down organic materials in your body. For example, people who are “lactose intolerant” have lactose enzymes in their bodies that do not properly break down lactose into a substance than can easily be digested. Besides lactose, enzymes can break down things in your carpet like dirt, oil and pet urine.
Why Enzymes Are Great Carpet Cleaners

Enzymes are pretty specific. They have “active sites” on their surfaces that are meant to fit exactly one kind of thing, a substrate—like lactose or dirt, for example. The kind of enzymes we use at Aqualux break down dirt, which means that their “active site” is a perfect fit for dirt’s shape.
The dirt in your carpet is made up of several different compounds, such as germs, bacteria, dust mites, fats, oils, grease and pet urine. All these compounds are held together to form dirt using amino and fatty acids. The enzymes attract the dirt and a catalyst (something that speeds up a chemical reaction, in this case, without being part of the reaction itself) allows the enzyme to break down the dirt into separate amino acids, making it much easier to clean and remove. These types of enzymes, in particular, are great for removing ammonia from urine and pet odor from your carpet.
Aqualux’s Unique Enzyme-Laden Emulsifier
Aqualux Carpet Cleaning has a unique cleaning solution that we call “Aquamax.” It is an emulsifier that is laden with enzymes that seek out the dirt and bacteria left behind by food contamination, drink spills and pet urine. Aquamax is administered to your carpet via Hot Water Extraction (more commonly referred to as “steam cleaning”) through the use of our exclusive, brand-specific machinery. This solution breaks down dirt and bacteria, and our equipment cleans the separated amino acids away while they are still in a vulnerable state. That’s why Aqualux Carpet Cleaning is the best at removing pet urine stains and remediating the odor those stains leave behind.
