Pet accidents leave odours that regular cleaning cannot eliminate. Urine odours return when triggered by humidity or temperature changes. Professional enzymatic odour removal permanently breaks down odour molecules, preventing return. Pet owners know the frustration—your home or rental smells fresh again with professional treatment. Whether from dogs, cats, or other pets, enzymatic odour removal is the only permanent solution. This guide explains pet odour removal costs across Ireland, how enzymatic treatment works, and why professional removal prevents permanent damage to flooring and furniture.
Professional pet odour removal in Ireland costs €50–€400+ depending on affected area size and odour severity. Single room (carpet/flooring): €80–€150. Whole apartment: €200–€350. Large house (3+ pet accidents): €300–€500+. Multiple accidents or severe urine saturation: €400–€800+. Deep enzymatic treatments take 1–3 hours depending on scope.
