Got Urine? Pet Stains and Odors and how to deal with them.

Its spring time and that means that pet accidents in your carpet are likely to be more noticeable. Pet urine never really completely dries but evaporates to a salt. With the change of seasons and changes in temperature and humidity, the residual salt will extract moisture from the air and reactivate the odor cycle. Topical treatments may mask the odor but unless the source of the odor is removed the problem will likely persist despite your best efforts.

Time to call a professional carpet cleaner. You won't have to remember or guess where the accident occurred. A qualified professional will have state of the art detection devices and be able to locate all the areas of concern. Both UV light and moisture detection will lead to the sites to be cleaned.

With new techniques of subsurface extraction the professional cleaner can first recreate the original state of the pet deposit by liquifying and dissolving the salts. Then removing the source of the odor with a powerful extraction method that does not require the removal of carpet. Next a bio-enzyme is allowed to dwell and further attack the source on a microbial level. After a second extraction the carpet is cleaned and a final deodorizing agent is applied.

For any stains that have not removed the color of the carpet the initial treatment to recreate the accident should be sufficient. Sometimes a topical treatment left for up to eight hours may be necessary.

There is a fair amount of science involved in the proper removal of pet problems don't just wing it with E.U.T.K.S. (Everything Under The Kitchen Sink) Call a professional Carpet Cleaner Today.
