Pet Hair & Odour in End-of-Tenancy Cleans
A practical, property-by-property method for finding trapped pet hair, removing it from the places an inspection catches, tracing odour back to its source and knowing when cleaning alone will not resolve it.
6 modules 10-question final exam £25 one-off payment
The property can look clean and still fail the handover
Pet hair remains in skirting gaps, carpet edges, sofa seams and behind radiators after an ordinary pass with a vacuum. An odour may seem to disappear while windows are open, then return when the flat has been shut overnight. This focused course teaches an ordered cleaning job, not a list of products or a promise that every smell can be covered up.
How it fits with End of Tenancy Cleaning
A separate paid Focused Skills add-on that goes further into pet hair, source-finding and odour decisions. It is not included automatically with the main End of Tenancy Cleaning course.
Learn the work in the order you do it
The course follows a cleaner through an actual property: inspect before disturbing the evidence, tackle hair from high and hidden areas towards final floor passes, investigate the source of odour, clean what the material can tolerate and check the result after drying.
1. Map the property
Identify rooms, furniture, edges, vents, pet resting places and suspected urine locations. Photograph pre-existing damage and agree what is inside the cleaning scope.
2. Remove hair systematically
Select attachments and suitable agitation for the material. Work seams and edges before open areas, recover loosened hair rather than moving it around, then inspect from more than one angle.
3. Trace and treat the odour source
Distinguish surface soiling from contamination in textiles, carpet backing, underlay or the building. Follow product and material instructions, test, extract or remove contamination where appropriate, and avoid masking a continuing source.
4. Validate and hand over
Check when surfaces are dry and the property has been closed up, record what improved and explain any material that needs specialist work, access below the carpet or replacement.
What this course does not promise
Cleaning cannot guarantee removal of every odour. A source may extend into underlay, subfloor, damaged furnishings or another inaccessible material. The course teaches when to stop, investigate further and give the client an honest next step. It is not a flea-treatment course.
Six modules, built around the job
Each lesson will include tools, working sequence, decision points, mistakes to avoid and realistic handover examples. There are no separate downloads.
Module 1
Survey and source-finding
Walk the property, identify likely hair traps and odour reservoirs, agree the scope and protect your starting evidence.
Module 2
Hair removal on hard surfaces and awkward edges
Work skirting, corners, fixtures, vents and hard floors without scattering hair into already-clean areas.
Module 3
Carpets, upholstery and furnishings
Handle pile, seams, cushions and textiles, check material limitations and avoid leaving loosened hair behind.
Module 4
Pet odour: locate and clean the source
Investigate suspected deposits, choose material-appropriate treatment and recognise when contamination is below the surface.
Module 5
A complete pet-affected tenancy clean
Work through a furnished flat, set the sequence and make decisions when time, access and the quoted scope are tight.
Module 6
Reinspection, evidence and handover
Check after drying, communicate remaining limitations and give the agent or landlord a clear record of the result.
Assessment and certificate
The planned final assessment contains ten practical scenarios with feedback. The proposed pass mark is seven correct answers out of ten. A CCMTec Academy course-completion certificate follows a passing result. It reflects completion of this online course, not independently verified work on site or external accreditation.
Questions before you enrol
Is this included in the main End of Tenancy Cleaning course?
No. This is a separate, more focused course for cleaners who want detailed pet hair and odour methods.
Will it tell me exactly how to remove the hair?
Yes. The lessons are being built around hands-on sequences for hard surfaces, edges, carpets and furnishings, including tool choice, direction of work, inspection and common failures.
Does it cover all pet odours?
It teaches source-finding and material-appropriate cleaning decisions for pet-affected end-of-tenancy jobs. Some sources cannot be resolved by a surface clean, and the course teaches how to identify and explain those limits.
Are there downloads?
No. The practical method and examples are taught within the six modules.
