This post was inspired by a recent job I completed in Wallasey for a returning customer. They contacted me about a persistent pet urine smell in one of their rooms. The carpet looked clean in normal light, but the odour kept returning.
During this visit, I recorded a full before and after demonstration using UV light detection to show exactly what was hidden inside the carpet. The results were clear and visible.
A Real Wallasey Case – Hidden Pet Urine Revealed
When I first inspected the carpet in normal lighting, there were no obvious dark patches. However, once I switched on the UV light, several contaminated areas immediately became visible.
Under UV light, urine residues fluoresce clearly. In this Wallasey home, multiple areas were invisible to the eye but clearly glowing during inspection.
This is exactly why Pet Stain Carpet Cleaning in Wallasey, Wirral Using UV Light Detection makes such a difference. It removes guesswork and allows precise treatment.
Professional Treatment Using Enzyme Chemistry
After identifying all affected areas, I carried out targeted stain removal using my professional spray and spotter method.
For organic contamination such as pet urine and bodily fluids, I use enzyme-based chemicals. These break down urine proteins at source instead of simply masking the smell.
The treatment included:
- Full UV inspection to identify all affected areas
- Targeted spray application onto confirmed contamination
- Controlled agitation using spray and spotter tools
- Correct dwell time to allow enzymes to work
- Deep extraction to remove dissolved contamination from the carpet fibres
The goal is always complete removal of the contamination, not temporary odour control.
Why DIY Carpet Cleaning Can Make Pet Stains Worse
In some cases, homeowners try to clean pet stains themselves before calling a professional. While this is understandable, DIY carpet cleaning can sometimes push contamination deeper into the carpet.
Domestic machines and rental equipment often do not have sufficient extraction power. Instead of fully removing urine, they may:
- Push moisture and contamination deeper into the backing
- Spread the affected area wider
- Leave detergent residue behind
- Make future professional treatment more challenging
When urine is driven into the underlay, it becomes harder to remove and may require more intensive cleaning.

Pet urine is a biological contaminant. Proper breakdown, controlled application and powerful extraction are essential.
Before and After – Clear Proof Under UV Light
After completing the treatment in this Wallasey property, I switched the UV light back on and recorded the final inspection.
The previously glowing areas were no longer detectable. No visible fluorescence remained.
The returning customer was extremely pleased with the outcome. Having used CarpetProCleaning before, they trusted the process, but seeing the before and after UV results gave complete reassurance that the problem had been properly resolved.
