Extreme Pet Hair & Wet-Dog Odor Removal in Heber City.
Built for Wasatch Back dog owners — Wasatch State Park trailheads, Soldier Hollow Nordic days, Deer Creek paddleboard trips, Snake Creek hikes. We extract embedded hair and destroy wet-dog odor at the molecular level.
Is dedicated pet hair removal right for your vehicle?
- Your dog rides in the back row, the cargo area, or every row — and the shedding is now embedded in the carpet fibers.
- A regular vacuum has stopped pulling hair out — it's woven into the fabric.
- You're trading in the vehicle or returning a lease and the "pet damage" disclosure will hit you.
- Multi-dog households where the cargo carpet now has more dog hair than carpet pile.
- Cabin still smells like dog after every wash.
Not the right pick if pet hair is light — the standard Interior or Ultimate Detail handles light shedding without the dedicated chemistry and labor.

Why a Vacuum Cannot Win This Fight
Automotive carpet is engineered like industrial velcro — short stiff fibers tightly woven over a backing. When a dog sheds, each hair barbs its way deep into the matrix. Your shop-vac suction pulls air across the top; the hair stays put. Five things actually move the hair:
- Rubber pumice agitation: Dragged across the fabric to physically grab and lift each hair out of the fiber.
- Tornador air blowout: 90 PSI of compressed air blasts hair and dander out of seatbelt channels, console seams, and vent louvers.
- Enzymatic dander dissolver: Pet oils and proteins broken down chemically before extraction.
- Hot-water extraction: Flooded and immediately vacuumed back out — pulling muddy paw prints, accidents, and old shampoo residue with the dirty water.
- Sealed-cabin ozone (O₃): Runs through HVAC vents and destroys the bacteria responsible for wet-dog smell at the molecular level.
Our 5-Stage Pet Hair Extraction Process
- 1. Strip the cabin. Mats out, seats slid, cargo cover removed — every hair pocket exposed.
- 2. Rubber pumice agitation. Physically uproots hair woven into carpet fibers.
- 3. Tornador 90-PSI air blowout. Hair and dander blasted out of every seam, vent, and channel.
- 4. Hot-water shampoo + extraction. Enzymatic shampoo + immediate extraction pulls out paw mud, accidents, and dander oils.
- 5. Sealed-cabin ozone. 30–60 minutes of O₃ through HVAC. Odor-causing bacteria oxidized, not masked.
Built for Where Your Dog Actually Goes
Trailhead Mud
Wasatch State Park, Snake Creek, Round Valley, Coyote Lane — wet paws into a clean cabin, every weekend.
Ski & Nordic Day Pickups
Park City Mountain, Deer Valley, Soldier Hollow Nordic Center — dogs riding home next to wet ski/nordic gear leaves the worst combo of moisture and shedding.
Reservoir & Paddleboard Days
Deer Creek, Jordanelle, Strawberry — wet labs and goldens cooking dander into upholstery on the drive home.
Park City Commutes
Dogs on the daily drive over Daniels Pass and US-40 — the seam between back seat and door panel collects the most shed.
Multi-Dog Households
Two goldens, three doodles, a husky, a heeler — Heber Valley families adopt big.
Mountain Biking with the Dog
Round Valley, Coyote Canyon, the Uintas — dust and trail mud bond with shedding hair in a way ordinary cleaning never reaches.

Pet Hair Removal FAQ
How much does it cost?
Quoted after we see the vehicle. Walk-in quotes the same day.
Can you really pull ALL the hair?
Up to 99%. Rubber pumice + compressed air does what no vacuum can.
How do you kill wet-dog smell?
Extract the source first, then run commercial ozone in a sealed cabin. O₃ oxidizes the bacteria — destroys, not masks.
Does dog hair damage AC?
Yes — saturates the cabin filter, blower works harder, odor recirculates. Fresh filter recommended after extraction.
How long is the appointment?
3–4 hours for a typical SUV. Multi-dog or never-deep-cleaned: a full day.
Is ozone safe?
Yes when run correctly. Below the concentrations affecting leather, rubber, or electronics. Cabin aired out before pickup.
Accident protocol?
Enzymatic treatment + hot-water extraction. Mention at intake so we plan time.
Why is the Wasatch Back hard on dog interiors?
Trail mud, ski/nordic day moisture, paddleboard wet, multi-dog households, mountain biking dust.
Surcharge on a regular detail?
Yes — extreme accumulation requires specialized tools and significantly more labor.
Mobile available?
Light pet hair as part of a mobile interior detail, yes. Heavy extraction stays in our bay.
