We love pets. We also clean up after them for a living — so here’s the honest guide to pet stains and odors, from the team at Rendon Carpet & Floor Care.

Act fast, and blot — don’t scrub

Scrubbing pushes the stain deeper and frays the fibers. Blot with a clean towel, working from the outside of the spot inward so it doesn’t spread.

Skip the colored cleaners and home remedies

Many store-bought sprays leave residue that attracts dirt (the spot comes back darker), and some can set the stain or bleach the color. A little plain water and blotting buys you time without making things worse.

Why the smell keeps coming back

Urine soaks through the carpet into the padding underneath. Surface cleaning only gets the top — the odor source is still below, and warm days bring it right back. That’s why “I cleaned it five times and it still smells” is the most common thing we hear.

What professional treatment does differently

Our truckmount steam cleaning with purified soft water flushes deep — through the fibers and toward the padding — and extracts the contamination instead of masking it. For severe spots, we’ll tell you honestly whether treatment will do it or whether that section of padding needs replacing. No upsell, just the truth.

Prevention that helps

• Get accidents cleaned professionally before they set into the pad
• Ask us about protecting high-traffic pet areas after cleaning
• Vacuum slowly — most people go too fast to actually lift grit

If you live in Pasco, Kennewick, or Richland, you know the dust. Wind kicks it up, it settles on everything — and a good share of it ends up inside your home’s ductwork, circulating through the air your family breathes every day.

The general rule

Most homes benefit from professional air duct cleaning every 3 to 5 years. But Tri-Cities homes often land on the shorter end of that range because of our dust, wind, and long dry summers.

Signs your ducts are due sooner

• You dust the furniture and it’s back within days
• Visible dust or debris blowing out of vents
• Allergy or asthma symptoms that are worse at home
• A musty smell when the heat or AC kicks on
• You’ve recently remodeled, moved in, or have indoor pets

What a professional cleaning does

We clean the full system — ductwork, vents, and registers — with professional equipment that removes built-up dust, dander, and debris instead of just stirring it around. The result: cleaner air, less dust settling in your home, and an HVAC system that doesn’t have to work as hard.

One of the first questions we hear at Rendon Carpet & Floor Care is, “How much will it cost to clean my carpets?” It’s a fair question — and the honest answer is that it depends on your home. Here’s what goes into the price, so you know exactly what you’re paying for.

What affects the price?

• Size of the areas — more rooms and larger areas take more time, water, and solution.
• Condition of the carpet — heavy traffic lanes, pet stains, and odor treatments take extra steps and products.
• Carpet type — delicate or specialty fibers need gentler handling.
• Extras — carpet repair or stretching, upholstery, and sealing change the scope of the visit.

Our carpet cleaning packages (per room/area, up to 150 sq ft)

• Basic Clean (Essentials) — $60/room. Pre-inspection, pre-treatment of traffic areas and stains, and hot water extraction (steam cleaning). Ideal for routine maintenance and lightly soiled carpets.
• Premium Clean (Restore & Refresh) — $75/room. Everything in Basic, plus high-powered vacuuming, fiber agitation to loosen embedded dirt, targeted spot treatment, and a pH-neutralizing rinse so carpets re-soil slower and feel softer. Perfect for homes with children, pets, or heavy foot traffic.
• VIP Clean (Ultimate Care & Protection) — $100/room. Everything in Premium, plus advanced carpet protector, signature deodorizer treatment, a pet treatment option, and dual dry-pass extraction for faster drying. For homeowners who want maximum care and long-term protection.

Why not just rent a machine?

Rental machines leave behind soapy residue that actually attracts dirt back faster, and they don’t reach the deep-down grit that wears carpet out. Our truckmount steam cleaning with purified soft water flushes dirt and odors out completely — no sticky residue — so your carpet stays cleaner longer and lasts longer.
