Previous owners have two bulldogs

[maverick]

anyone have an reccos on a company who can clean the home thoroughly before moving in? we are changing the carpet out and pads, getting the ducts and filters cleaned/replaced…I was hoping I can find a one stop shop? Thanks in advance.

the house is VERY clean but because I have allergies I want to take the extra precaution.

for the record, we love bulldogs but unfortunately allergic to dogs. also…the home does have that bulldog smell despite it’s cleanliness (= so clean if you didn’t tell me dogs lived there i would believe it except for the smell).

How allergic are you? If mildly you can probably fix it. If you have severe allergies I would seriously consider whether its even possible to erradicate all allergens. Speak to your Allergist

The carpet is going to be at least 90% of the problem, just replace it, then get somebody in for duct cleaning and/or replacement.

When we moved into our rental, the previous owners had 2 or 3 large dogs. Even after cleaning the place and steam cleaning the carpet, it smelled like dog. Had the carpet replaced and it smelled like, well, nothing.

The ducts probably won’t hold any dog smell or dog allergen since there are filters (presumably) in place before the return air hits the ducts, but they may have dust, mites, mold, etc.
