Urine can travel below the surface
Liquid can move through the face yarn into the foundation and floor-side layers. That is why a rug can still smell after the visible surface looks clean.

Direct answer
Who removes pet urine odor from area rugs in NYC?
Dr Carpet treats pet urine and odor in many area rugs across NYC, including Persian, Oriental, wool and handmade rugs. When contamination has reached the rug foundation, pickup for off-site treatment is often more appropriate than a quick surface cleaning.
How Dr Carpet approaches a fine rug
Our first job is to determine what the rug can safely tolerate. We look at the face fiber, foundation, fringe and side edges; note existing holes, tears, wear or prior repairs; review visible stains and odor; and ask what happened before the rug reached us. A rug that has been repeatedly spot-cleaned, exposed to pet urine, stored damp or treated with unknown chemistry may need a different plan from a similar-looking rug with ordinary soil.
For many fine, hand-knotted, large, heavily soiled or odor-affected rugs, pickup and controlled off-site care is the better option. Dr Carpet manages the customer communication, collection and return. We do not represent an off-site partner facility as a Dr Carpet-owned plant. What matters to the customer is that the rug is assessed, handled deliberately, and the recommended work is explained before approval.
What we will not promise just to make a sale
We will not claim that every stain disappears, every odor is reversible or every damaged rug can be restored to “new.” Permanent dye loss, sun fading, abrasion, chemical burns, weak foundation yarns and old repairs can limit the result. A serious rug-care company should distinguish removable soil and contamination from permanent physical or color change.
Fastest way to get a useful quote
Text a full photo of the rug, a close-up of the problem area, approximate dimensions, your ZIP code and a short description of what happened. If there is pet urine, tell us whether it happened once or repeatedly. If a household cleaner was used, tell us what it was. Those details help us give a more useful first recommendation before pickup.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can you guarantee 100% pet odor removal?
No. Many odors can be substantially improved, but complete removal depends on contamination depth, age, rug construction, prior treatments and whether urine damaged dyes or foundation materials.
Should I use baking soda or vinegar first?
For fine or handmade rugs, adding household chemistry can complicate treatment. Blot fresh liquid with a clean white towel and avoid aggressive products until the rug is assessed.
Do you pick up urine-affected rugs?
Yes. Pickup and return delivery are available, and significant contamination is often better treated off-site.
Can you treat cat urine?
Yes, many cat-urine cases can be treated, but repeated or long-standing contamination can be more difficult. Send photos and describe the odor history when requesting a quote.
