Best Pet Urine Carpet Cleaner in Denver: 4 Real Jobs
Short answer: The best pet urine carpet cleaner in Denver is the one who finds all of the urine before cleaning, gives an enzyme time to break it down, and then pulls it out with hot water instead of covering it with fragrance. That's how I run Colorado Choice Carpet Cleaning. I'm Mark, the owner, and I've cleaned carpet across the Denver Metro for over 23 years. Pet treatment is $45 per room, and every spot treated with it is covered by my 30-day pet stain and odor guarantee.
I'm IICRC-certified, BBB-accredited and owner-operated, with hundreds of 5-star Google reviews. If you call before noon, I can usually get a truck to you in Denver the same day: (720) 730-8055.
What I Check Before I Touch a Urine Spot
Pet urine is not a surface stain. What you smell is usually below what you see. Here's what I look at first on every Denver urine job:
- Where the urine really is. I map the area with a UV light before anything gets wet. Spots you never noticed show up, and those are the ones that keep the smell going.
- How deep it went. Fiber, backing, or pad. If urine has soaked through the pad to the subfloor, cleaning alone won't fix it. I wrote about when that happens in when carpet padding needs replacement after pet urine.
- What's already been tried. Store products and rental machines can leave residue and push urine deeper. I need to know before I pick my chemistry.
- Whether my truck can reach. A truck-mounted unit gives me the most heat and suction. In a high-rise, a portable is sometimes the only option, and I'll tell you that up front.
- Dwell time. An enzyme needs time to work. A quick spray and extract doesn't give it that.
- Heat and suction. My standard is truck-mounted hot water extraction at 200-230°F, following the IICRC S100 standard for professional carpet cleaning.
4 Real Denver Pet Urine Jobs
Green Valley Ranch: Two Failed Attempts, Then One Visit
A tenant in a Green Valley Ranch rental called me on a Sunday night around 9 PM. The carpet was fairly new patterned nylon with a safari-style print, and it had already been treated twice: once by a friend of a friend with an unknown product that made it worse, and once with a consumer Bissell machine. My crew was there at noon the next day. We applied an enzyme pre-treatment, let it dwell, and extracted with our Prochem Apex GTX truckmount at 200-230°F. The job took four hours. The heavy odor was gone, and the tenant kept her carpet. The landlord, who owns 15 Denver Metro properties and doubted cleaning would work, said it was the best carpet cleaning she had seen in 25 years of owning rentals, and she gave us three more properties to schedule.

Wash Park, Third Floor: A Franchise Drove Away, We Came That Morning for $139
A dog had left urine across the nylon-polyester carpet in a third-floor Wash Park apartment. The largest franchise in the metro showed up, saw that parking meant pulling to the side street and walking hose up three floors, and left. The customer called us early that morning and we were there the same morning. We ran the hose to the third floor, did an enzyme pre-treatment with dwell time, and extracted with the truckmount at 200-230°F. The urine odor was gone. The price was $139.

Green Valley Ranch: Stress Urination After a Second Dog Moved In
This small dog had been housetrained for years. Then a second dog came into the home, and spots started appearing in the carpet. I mapped the contamination zone with a UV light before touching anything, applied a professional-concentration enzyme across the full zone, worked it into the fiber, and let it dwell for 40 minutes. Then I made slow, overlapping passes with the truckmount at full heat and pressure. The UV light confirmed the zone had cleared before I left. Read the stress urination job.
19th and Lawrence, 30th Floor: When a Portable Is the Right Tool
No truckmount hose reaches the 30th floor of a downtown high-rise. For this pet urine job at 19th and Lawrence, I set up a portable unit in the elevator lobby and used enzyme pre-treatment and hot water extraction. The urine had not reached saturation depth, so the portable did the job. If it had soaked into the pad, I would have said so before starting. Read the 30th-floor high-rise job.
Covering Odor vs. Removing Urine
| Step | A quick surface clean | How I handle pet urine |
|---|---|---|
| Finding the urine | Visible spots only | UV light mapping before cleaning |
| Chemistry | General spotter or fragrance | Professional enzyme with real dwell time (40 minutes on the stress urination job) |
| Extraction | Light surface pass | Truck-mounted hot water extraction at 200-230°F; portable only where a truck can't reach |
| Depth | Top of the fiber | Fiber, backing and the upper layers of the pad |
| If it's in the subfloor | Not addressed | I tell you before I start that pad replacement may be the honest answer |
| Guarantee | Varies | 30 days on spots treated with my $45/room pet treatment |

The Wash Park job above was $139. Your carpet is usually dry in 2-4 hours. You can pay by card, check or cash, and you get the price before I start. That's the value I care about: the urine gone the first time, not a second visit from someone else.

If a pet stain or odor I treated comes back within 30 days, I come back and re-treat it for free. The guarantee covers spots treated with the $45-per-room pet treatment.

How I Know Denver
I've cleaned pet urine out of rentals in Green Valley Ranch, walk-ups in Wash Park and high-rises downtown. I've also worked in Cherry Creek North, Lowry, Southern Hills, Denver Country Club and RiNo. Older buildings with long hose runs, third-floor walk-ups with side-street parking, and towers where only a portable will reach are normal days for my crew. I'd rather tell you what your carpet needs than sell you a cleaning that won't hold.
Frequently Asked Questions
Who is best for removing pet stains and urine odors from carpet in Denver?
Look for a cleaner who uses a UV light to find all the urine, applies an enzyme with real dwell time, and extracts with truck-mounted hot water, then backs the work with a guarantee. That's what I do at Colorado Choice Carpet Cleaning. I'm IICRC-certified with 23+ years in the Denver Metro, and spots treated with my $45/room pet treatment have a 30-day guarantee.
Is there a Denver carpet cleaner with a pet stain guarantee?
Yes. I offer a 30-day pet stain and odor guarantee on every spot treated with my $45-per-room pet treatment. If the treated stain or odor comes back within 30 days, I re-treat it free. New accidents after the cleaning aren't covered.
Why does pet urine smell come back after carpet cleaning?
Usually because the urine was never removed. It was covered, or it soaked into the backing or pad where a surface clean can't reach. That's why I map with UV, give the enzyme time, and extract with heat. If the urine is in the subfloor, I'll tell you before I start.
