Pets Gone Wild - How to Clean After A Nightmare Tenant

Renting out space is a great idea. However, there can be a big problem for you to clean after a horrible tenant. Essential the tenant will have left a big mess or let their pets make a mess as well. There can be everything from poop, urine, pet dander, feathers, hair balls, fur and more.

If this has accumulated for several years it will be highly problematic. There are ways to clean it up effectively but you have to be methodical in your approach. Here are key items.

Carpet

If possible you should replace the carpet and the carpet under pad. This is the only way to effectively remove the pet urine and poop that has settled in. The floor underneath must be properly sanitized.

Walls

The walls need to be washed. Synthetic material can be easily washed. However, there are limits to sanitization with porous material. In a bad case you may need new dry wall.

Furniture

Again synthetic material is the only material that can be properly sanitized. Fabric material may be too soaked and stained with pet urine that it will have to be thrown out.

Pets, Your Carpet and the Mating Season

Mating seasons come and go for your pet. However, during this period of time they may cause damages to your carpet. They are just doing what they are biologically intended to do in the wild. This will mean you need to adequately clean up the pet urine.

The main issue with pet pee from dogs and cats is that it contains foul smelling hormones. This is thankfully only during mating season. One option is getting your pet spayed and neutered. Some of us don't have the luxury of this option so the next best idea is proper cleaning.

It's highly recommended that you use a professional carpet cleaning service. They will have the equipment and carpet solutions to remove the pet urine and help deodorize the carpet. However, keep in mind that there is a problem with removing female cat pee.

The smell cannot be removed completely and often requires harsh carpet chemicals. These chemicals may damage the carpet and not remove the smell completely even after that. Ammonia is often used but it is one of the worst chemicals to use for carpet. Ammonia is not eco-friendly nor does it smell friendly.
