PET STAIN REMOVAL-- THE SECRET

If you have pets, and buy one item for your home, get a wet vacuum! They are available at most hardware stores for under $40.

I’ve been telling my clients this for years. If a pet has an accident on your carpet or upholstery, and you find it while it is still wet, what do you do? Do you get a stack of paper towels to mash the urine into the padding? NO!

After you’ve removed all the liquid you possibly can, treat the area with a proper spot remover or enzyme.

The big mistake most pet owners make is adding the wrong type of spot remover to a urine spot before they remove the urine. Doing this will give you a puddle of urine with some spot remover in it. This is hardly considered cleaning. Make sure you remove any liquid matter BEFORE adding a spot remover.

Removing the Urine Stain

After you’ve extracted the liquid and treated the spot, you’ll still have a stain on the carpet. You’ll need to rinse the spot before it becomes a permanent stain. Use plain water to rinse the spotting agent out.

If you have a spot removal machine that allows you to rinse with water, put plain water with no detergent in the tank. Lightly rinse the area and follow with several dry vacuum passes.

If you have a wet vac, sprinkle plain water on the area and extract with the wet vac.

If urine stays in the carpet or upholstery for an extended period of time, it WILL permanently stain. Even worse, it will eventually eat away the backing of the fiber and destroy the carpet or upholstery. Not to mention the obvious unhealthy situation and odor the urine will cause.

The best thing you can do for any type of pet accident is remove it right away.

The longer the problem stays in the fiber, the worse the problem becomes. Professional cleaning is still necessary for overall maintenance every 6-12 months if a pet lives in the home.
