Pet Urine Stains and Odor Removal In Chattanooga, TN

If you have decided you’re ready to hire a professional carpet cleaner, or want to try to do it yourself, there are a few things you can do to prepare your home. But its important to remember, with any DIY carpet cleaning method, you need to do the proper research beforehand. Otherwise, you could accidentally use the wrong cleaning method on the fabric you’re cleaning and do more damage than good.

First, you can attempt to remove as much of the cat pee or dog pee as possible by yourself. Remember it’s important to do a spot test first in a small hidden area. Make sure the cleaning method you use doesn’t bleach or damage the fabric you’re cleaning before continuing.

When you’re ready, start by blotting the stain with clean paper towels and warm water. Next, you can spray a small amount of diluted hydrogen peroxide or white vinegar onto the stain. Baking soda is also a great odor remover, and it can be sprinkled onto the dry pee stain. Also, don’t forget to wear gloves when using any cleaner to protect your skin from damage.

Hydrogen Peroxide Cleaning Method

• If you’re using diluted hydrogen peroxide as a urine remover, mix 4 tablespoons of peroxide and dilute it with 2 tablespoons of warm water. Next, gently blot it into the carpet with a clean paper towel. Blot the area until it is completely dry.

Baking Soda Cleaning Method

• If you’re using baking soda as an odor remover, sprinkle one cup or less of baking soda on to the affected area. Let it sit for five minutes, then vacuum it up.
• You can repeat this process to the stained area as several times as as an odor eliminator.

White Vinegar Cleaning Method

• For this method, add one part white vinegar to a spray bottle with three parts water. Then, spray the diluted white vinegar onto the stain as an odor remover and stain remover.
• Allow the vinegar to sit on the stain for a few minutes, then use a wet/dry vacuum to dry the spot completely. If you don’t have a wet/dry vacuum, blot the affected area with paper towels until the spot is completely dry.
• It’s important to never use a steam cleaner on urine stains. Hot temperatures from steam cleaners will permanently adhere the urine odor to the carpet fibers.

Purchasing Professional Cleaning Agents

• If you still notice that the stain or odor didn’t budge, you may want to consider using a professional enzymatic cleaner to remove tough stains. There are several available to consumers online or at your local hardware store. Just make sure to follow the instructions carefully, and test in a small area first.

Preventing Pet Accidents from Permanently Staining Carpet

It is possible to avoid having pet urine stain your carpets, rugs, and upholstery. You can do this by catching the accident as soon as it happens. If you catch the pet pee before it penetrates into the underlying carpet pad and foundation, it will be very easy to fully remove. If you do happen to catch an accident while it is still wet, always blot the urine spot from the outermost edge to the middle. If you wipe or rub the spot with a towel it will do further damage by spreading the urine and not properly absorbing it.

Just remember, calling a professional pet stain and odor removal service is oftentimes the best option for many homeowners. Our professionals will safely and effectively clean your carpets, rugs, and upholstery with our years knowledge and expertise.
