Pet Mess Carpet Clean up –Poop, Urine, and Vomit

Pets are great but they do come with messy situations. Younger and older pets, in particular, are prone to making messes on your carpets and furniture. In these situations, it’s important to know how to handle the mess right away to prevent unpleasant odors and optimise clean up.

For urine, use paper towels to soak up most of the liquid. Avoid pressing into the carpet or upholstery. Next use baking soda to minimize the smell and dry up the liquid from the carpet. Baking soda can be used on stool samples and vomit as well.

After the mess is completely dry you have the option of vacuuming up the mess if warranted. In all situations, you need steam cleaning to properly clean, sanitize and deodorize the carpet. Store bought carpet cleaners may damage the carpet and often over soak the carpet fiber. Eco-friendly carpet cleaning is essential for pet health as well as your own.

Carpet care tips for pets

When you have a pet more care needs to go into your carpet cleaning. Young puppies and small dogs have a habit of peeing on the carpet. This makes it important to have a rubber under pad between the floor and the carpet. Wood floors would absorb the pet pee overtime. Marble floors can get damaged and discoloured because of the acidity of pet pee.

If you have ceramic or porcelain tiles the rubber under-pad isn’t necessary. These tiles are resistant to damage from pet urine. Another concern about pets is that they shed a lot of fur and pet dander overtime.

It’s suggested that you get thin synthetic carpet at your place when you have pets. Carpet should be in muted brown colours to avoid showing any pet stains. Thick carpets such as shag carpet aren’t suggested because they trap pet fur and it is often difficult to get out. Wool carpets get stained easily as well.

Thick pile carpets are difficult to vacuum and remove all the fur that has settled in the pile. Sisal carpet isn’t suggested because the carpet material shrinks with moisture. It is also expensive and difficult to fix after damage has occurred to the carpet.

Another suggested is to place heavy entrance mats with a rubber base at your entrances. This is a common area for your pet to pee when they can’t make it outside in time. Entrance mats also guard against dirt from muddy paws and will help keep the rest of the place clean.

How to remove dye from your carpets.

First of all, when doing any kind of projects with dye make sure to cover up the carpets when doing so. As we all know when kids are participating accidents are bound to happen even if you decide to cover it up. If anything spills onto the carpet make sure to have tissue paper and paper towels ready so that you don't have to waste any time going into the kitchen and grabbing any extra cleaning supplies. Grab some spot remover and lightly spray the area. After waiting about 15 minutes grab some paper towel and gently blot the stain. When blotting the stain make sure not to put a lot of pressure on it because it may push the dye further into the carpet. Once you have finished blotting the stain, step away from it and don't touch it for a couple days. If you still notice that the stain is there after a couple days don't hesitate to call a professional carpet cleaning company so they could come in and fully remove the stain. If you see that the stain is gone then you have nothing to worry about and you know that you did the job to remove it. 

Pet Odour Removal | dog and cat accidents happen

Pet Odour Removal

When having pets in your home, specifically dogs and cats, accidents happen and the smell is inevitable. Dogs and cats may soil the carpets, or simply having a pet in the home, may cause an uneasy smell. There are different way of dealing with these problems and they are fairly simple.

If you have a cat make sure to clean out the litter box a few times a week. The litter box may start smelling after a few days and the smell isn’t pleasant. If you notice a stain on the carpet try not to use any of the retail products that promise to take away the pet odour. These products don’t take away the smell, they rather mask the odour and it often returns.

Calling a carpet cleaning professional will fully take away the stain and odour. They have the specific tool and equipment needed to clean the stain and remove the odour for good. Make sure that if this ever does happen to you, take care of the problem right away. Do not leave it or attempt to clean it yourself because a lot of odours will never be removed if not done properly.
