Treating Pet Stains

Addressing pet stains promptly can salvage your carpet, as this article will detail. Unattended pet urine can permanently distort carpet fiber dyes, particularly beige ones. The key to treating pet stains effectively lies in identifying and blotting fresh stains as soon as they occur, using a clean, white cloth. After soaking up as much liquid as possible, utilize a solution of 1/4 teaspoon clear dish washing liquid combined with 1 cup lukewarm water, and blot again with another clean, dry towel. Finish the process by blotting with a towel dampened with lukewarm water.

Continue alternating with a soapy towel and a clean, damp towel until the stain is gone. Follow up with an enzymatic product designed for pet stains, such as Nature’s Miracle. The enzymes break down stains and remove odors that might be undetectable to you but that can attract your pet to the same area again.

For stale stains, treat with the enzymatic cleaner. If odor persists, call a professional carpet cleaner to treat the carpet. In extreme cases, the carpet and paddling underneath (and sometimes even the subfloor) will need to be replaced.

 

 

Pour the liquid solution on the baking soda and the stain. Gently rub the area with a soft-bristled brush or cloth. Let it sit for 10 minutes (longer if the vomit has dried.) Use a towel to remove as much liquid as possible, then vacuum the area.
