Let’s face it, we all LOVE our pets! Unfortunately, they can potentially ruin our carpet. Daily carpet cleaning is pivotal in order to keep it looking its best for a long time. When it comes down to Pet Carpet Damage, maintenance is needed to ensure its longevity. Whether it is urine or soil in general, there are a handful of ways to thoroughly clean your carpet from pet odors and stains. Try following these 4 steps to help prevent pet carpet damage.

4 Key Steps to Help Prevent Pet Carpet Damage

Figure Out Which Areas Of The Carpet Are Soiled.

Our Orange County Carpet & Flooring Company usually recommends that you clean those areas thoroughly. As long as a pet, whether a cat or a dog, can smell their scent, they will return to that area and keep relieving themselves there. By neutralizing the odor, you can re-train them properly to ensure this won’t happen again. Once that area of the carpet is clean, our Orange County Carpet & Flooring experts recommend that you make the accident zone unavailable to your pet.

Soak Up As Much As Of The Urine As Possible With Paper Towels.

By removing as much of it as possible from the carpet, it allows for a simpler and more thorough cleanup overall. Our Orange County Carpet & Flooring experts also recommend that you rinse the area with clean, cool water. After rinsing, remove as much of the water as possible by blotting or even with a wet/dry vacuum.

Pet Odor Neutralizer Is An Amazing Option.

Once the area is clean, a carpet stain remover may also help for stains that are already set in the carpet. Our Orange County Carpet & Flooring experts recommend that you avoid using a steam cleaner to clean urine odors from carpet as the heat will permanently set the stain as well as the odor to the fibers of the carpet.

Don’t Use Cleaning Chemicals.

Cleaning chemicals such as those that contain vinegar or ammonia will cover the odor but not remove it. Your pet will just end up finding the area another time.
