Know where the odors are coming from
By taking a Black light to the room where the odors are coming from, you can determine where the smells are emanating from. Once you have the exact location pinpointed, making it go away will be a lot easier.

Regular Cleaning
The longer that pet messes sit…the more their odors will be problematic.  Establish a schedule where you will steam clean your carpets.  For small problems use a commercially obtained carpet cleaning solution to spot clean the entire area where your pet has left an odor.  Do this as soon as possible after the area is soiled.  We suggest that you have one of these cleaners on hand in your cabinet so that you will be prepared.  Read this great resource for more ideas to keep your apartment home free of pet odors.
