Your family’s pet can be your carpet’s worst enemy. When pet urine dries, it forms crystals. These crystals are the source of the odor. Many carpet cleaning agents simply mask remaining odors by spreading perfumes, oils or other odor masking agents. The odor continues to return because the crystals reactivate their odor in moist conditions. On top of that, if the urine is not completely cleaned up, the residue soaks deep into the carpet fiber, which can cause permanent discoloring. It may even soak into the padding and the flooring underneath.
The best way to safely and effectively remove pet stains from the carpet is to call in the professionals. If water is made to clean a stain, you must have a powerful extraction system to remove all the water, dirt and urine residue. Only professional cleaning machines have the power that is necessary to safely remove the moisture and lingering pee stains.
