At Precision Chem-Dry, we know you love your dogs and puppies, but you probably dislike dealing with the stinky accidents they leave on your carpet. When these situations happen, don’t panic! We have some expert advice on what you can do for pet stain removal in Salt Lake City, UT. 

Respond to Pet Stains ASAP

As long as you act fast, you should be able to remove most surface stains left by your dog. Scoop up or gently blot as much of the urine stain as you can. Always make sure to not scrub the stain or your carpet aggressively, as this can force the stain even deeper into your carpet fibers, making it more difficult to remove.

After this, follow up on the area with a spot treater or stain remover. This can be one you make yourself or a store-bought carpet stain cleaner. Just be sure to only use non-toxic formulas that are safe for your pets if ingested.

Never use too much cleaner! The last thing you want is to deposit soapy residue onto your carpet that will attract more stains in the future. Simply use a small amount and apply more as necessary. When the surface stain is gone, rinse the area well, pat dry with a towel, then vacuum up any remaining liquid.

Always Schedule a Professional Treatment

While the method above helps remove visible surface stains, you’ll need to schedule a professional pet stain removal in Salt Lake City, UT to eliminate odors, recurring stains, and dust. It’s a good rule of thumb to schedule these cleanings at least twice each year or more regularly if your dog leaves urine stains and odors on your carpet more frequently.

Why is professional pet stain removal in Salt Lake City so important? Well, when pets urinate on your carpets, it doesn’t just stay on the tops of the fibers. Urine sinks lower and lower into your carpet until it reaches the backing of the carpet and the flooring beneath the carpet. As pet urine dries, the liquid evaporates, but the urine crystals become even more concentrated and pungent. If your pet tends to frequently have accidents in the same spot, this location may have serious urine damage. The simple surface removal you can perform with DIY solutions or storebought chemicals does not remove these deep smells or stains as professional cleaning equipment and solutions can.
