The Whole Nine Yards For Pet Odor In Your
Carpet
To fill a void in the Indianapolis-area carpet cleaning marketplace with
regard to pet odors, we’ve
forged relationships with top professionals and have assembled a highly
experienced team to help customers whose odor control needs go
beyond simply spraying or pouring DooDoo Voodoo. (Please note that we only provide our
services in central Indiana.)
 Regular
Carpet Cleaning Just Doesn’t Cut It
As you may be aware, conventional "wand" carpet cleaning often isn’t enough to
remove pet odor-causing organic contaminants from deep within carpet, pad and
subfloor. Four On The Floor Carpet Care takes pet odor remediation to a whole
new level (literally) because our capabilities extend far beyond what a regular
wand-type carpet cleaning can accomplish. (Yes, we sometimes do utilize a
wand, but only when we know it's the correct tool for the job.) As
an example of what our tools, chemistry and methods can do, the top picture shows what
we removed from just 38 square feet of carpet that had already been
conventionally (wand) cleaned and appeared "clean" to untrained eyes.
 We’ve
invested in patented and specialized equipment that is dramatically more
effective than conventional wand cleaning could ever be at removing
pet odor-causing contaminants from carpet. Used correctly in conjunction with DooDoo Voodoo and certain
other chemicals not available to the general public, our tools and
methods, honed by more than three decades of combined experience obliterating pet odors,
yield dramatically more effective pet odor control than has been available in
the local marketplace. There is no other company in the Indianapolis area
using the unique combination of tools, methods and chemistry that we
employ.
We use two
models of Steam
Genie Drag Wand,
two RotoVacs
(including the new 360 model), two
Water Claws
(see the next paragraph) and more.
 DooDoo
Voodoo alone is phenomenal at removing stains and odors. But,
if your odor problems are more in-depth than you think you can tackle
yourself with just DooDoo Voodoo alone, you might desire to enlist our
help. Our favorite pet odor eradication tool is the
Water Claw (the
family of products is shown to the right; we own the largest and smallest
Water Claws). To see
short videos of a couple of
Water Claws
being used, visit
http://www.waterclaw.com/videos.html.
One view, and you'll forever understand why conventional carpet cleaning
isn't in-depth enough to completely eradicate pet odors.
 How
Far Our Capabilities Extend
While DooDoo Voodoo alone can solve many, if not most, pet odor problems,
even where repeated urination has occurred (see the blacklight picture),
there are times when total odor remediation requires more invasive
methods. Unfortunately for Indianapolis-area consumers, most carpet
cleaning companies shy away from these methods like the plague because of
the extra time, expertise, tooling and expense involved. With over 30
years of combined experience, our team knows when DooDoo Voodoo alone will be sufficient, and
when to dig deeper.
 If
a pet odor-specific conventional cleaning is all that’s needed, we can
provide that in lieu of the more in-depth measures, but we’ll provide a
more thorough cleaning and better odor remediation than other companies
would. If, however, additional work is required to rid an area of odor, we
have the tools and experience to pull back carpet, remove and replace pad
& tack strips (we can even install special new types of non-impregnable
pad or plastic sheeting, if desired), seal subfloors, extensively clean & treat both sides of the carpet,
re-paint & re-caulk walls & trim as required, re-lay (re-stretch) carpet,
patch in and seam replacement carpet if available and more.
While
we’re at your home, we can provide gentle counsel as to litter
box locations, crate training and general environmental considerations
that might be contributing to indiscriminate soiling. We'll provide
a free copy of our article, "Why Cats Fail To Use The Litter Box," upon
request.
Top-Notch Service And Personal Attention
Our team’s personnel are fully professional and extremely capable. They
will behave appropriately and will respect your property. You can feel
good about hiring Four On The Floor Carpet Care or recommending us to
others.
Our lead technician is an IICRC® Certified Master Technician.
(IICRC stands for Institute of Inspection, Cleaning & Restoration
Certification.) Many carpet cleaners are not IICRC certified, but
choosing an IICRC certified technician, especially one with Master
Technician status, ensures that the technician has received the maximum
level of training in chemistry, fiber types, cleaning methodology, odor
control and more. We have the utmost confidence in our lead
technician's abilities and feel confident that he is the right person to
spearhead your carpet cleaning and restoration project.
We Make Odor
Remediation As Easy As Possible
If you need the services we provide, simply call us at 317-35-NOPEE to
schedule an appointment. Professional evaluations are $75 to cover gas and
time. If you hire us to perform the work we discus, $50 of your
evaluation fee will be applied to your invoice.
 We believe that no one in
the greater Indianapolis area can provide the specialized equipment,
chemistry, experience and know-how that we can to eradicate pet odor in
your carpet. Call us today to
schedule your evaluation. You'll be glad you did and you'll like
working with us.
By the way, we're not
capitalists. If we think
your best option is to skip the cleaning and simply replace your carpet or
pad,
we'll tell you that, too. This is most often not the case, but
sometimes it's the most cost-effective solution. We operate by the
Golden Rule!

Helpful
Info About Our Service
Please vacuum the carpeting as thoroughly as possible before we
arrive. We move most furniture, but you can save money by
moving it yourself to whatever degree you're capable. If you
have breakable items such as dishes in a China cabinet, you might
want to remove them before we perform our work.
If you
know what thickness and density of pad you need and want to pick
some up prior to work, that'll save some time and money.
If you
want your subfloor sealed, we recommend BIN sealer by Zinsser, which
is available at most home improvement stores. You can pick it
up yourself and save time and money, too, and you can even paint it
on after we pull your carpet back (top pic). If you're going
to do this, don't forget a brush (2", angled works well), a roller
with cover (short nap of 3/8") and a roller pan. A 4'
extension handle for the roller might also help.
If you
want to gently pull your carpet back and remove your tack strips
(middle pic), we recommend that you also fill any resulting nail
holes with high-quality paintable caulk (pic #2). You can dab
it on with your finger or you can use a putty knife. We like
the disposable plastic type (<$1.00) in the 1"-2" widths. Get
the best paintable caulk you can afford; it will tend to crack less
over the long run.
Often
people desire or need to repaint their baseboards after remediation
work to help freshen the look and seal in any residual odors that
might emanate from broken caulk joints. If you want to repaint
the baseboards, it's a good idea to recaulk the junctures at this
time, too. Don't forget to get paint and extra caulk while
you're at the home improvement store.
In
short, there are many ways you can be involved in the job to lessen
the time and expense involved. We'll work with you—literally
and figuratively, if you desire—to make odor remediation as painless
as possible, in every regard.
There
are times when repeated applications of DooDoo Voodoo are necessary
to continue lessening the odor in your carpet & backing. Some
customers have the time (patience) for this, while others don't.
If you don't, we'll discuss the options with you and let you know
what the most cost-effective way is to proceed.
When the
job's finished, you'll end up with a great-looking, much less
odorous room (last picture) and your carpet will actually last
longer due to the thoroughness of our cleaning.
