Tips on Pet Stain Removal and Eliminate Odor
The Truth about Urine Stains in Carpet
Sometimes a pet uses a carpet as a lavatory. Over a prolonged period of time an area may become permanently damaged. Timely cleanings could reduce the chance of damaging your carpet. When urine gets into the padding carpet stains may reappear after the area drys. For area rugs scheduled deep cleaning could help with pet stain removal and eliminate odor. The same is true for carpets with padding (but carpet could mask padding populated with bacteria).
Three Elements to Eliminate Odor and Pet Stains

Heat
When performing a hot water extraction the temperature of the water increases the ability to clean effectivity.
Chemicals
When performing a deep cleaning, the solution used should match the task at hand. An optional step of agitation using a rotary brush should be used after the application of chemicals.
Suction
When performing an extraction the maximum amount of solution (cleaning agent) should be removed from the carpet. Applying a rinse agent helps stabilize a neutral pH for carpet luster. This also prevents premature re-soiling.
Damage Control
If the pet used the same location the area could worsen beyond repair. The stain may reappear after even the most dynamic topical cleaning. We would pre-spray and saturate the affected areas and allow a 15 – 25 minute dwell time before hot water rinse extraction. If a shadow reappears after the carpet drys (chances are the padding was severely affected). In the case of a shadow of the stain that reappears even so slightly. In cases like these, we recommend carpet replacement, but cleaning is a cost-effective option to provide a safe and clean.
