It is not unknown that pets bring many joys into the lives of humans, but sometimes…things are not as simple as they seem. After all, it is a natural phenomenon that they have to do. To avoid such occurrences, you will have to train your pet to pee outside or on potty matts, and definitely not on your rugs. Urine stains are a widespread problem which are associated with pet lovers. Not only are the stains hard to remove, but also the odor embeds to the material, making it that much harder to remove. To avoid such situations, pet owners should keep up with regular carpet cleaning as a part of their cleaning routine to keep both the carpet and home looking tidy and smelling fresh.

Here are some methods you can add to your routine if you are trying to remove pet stains from your carpet:

Dry the Carpet:

If your pet has peed on the carpet (especially a cat, due to the strong odor) , the first solution is to pat it dry with a towel so that it may absorb the moisture.

Apply a Vinegar Solution:

In a bucket, add equals parts water and distilled white vinegar, and mix well. The amount will depend on the size of the stain, but 1 cup of each will suffice as a starting point. Apply the solution and let it soak for 30-60 minutes.

This solution will do two things:

1. It will help remove the pet’s pee strains and even the hard strains. The vinegar neutralizes the pungent ammonia present in the dog urine and will neutralize pee’s smell in the carpet.
2. . It also cleans thoroughly inside the carpet, cleaning the carpet’s little fibers, aiding in removing the odors.

Sprinkle Baking Soda on the Stained Area:

After applying the water and vinegar solution, apply baking soda to the area. Baking soda neutralizes the effect of vinegar, removes the foul odor of urine, and lifts the carpet’s strains. Make sure to rub in the baking soda with your hand or a brush so that it gets deep down into the carpet fibers.

Leave the baking soda until it dries. It may take 12-24 hours to fully dry. Once dry, vacuum the baking soda from the carpet. Voila! Your carpet should be good as new. However, if the stain is very large and extremely stained….it’s time for Super Clean Guys to come to the rescue.
