Pet Stain Removal

In order to remove pet stain, you do need to react quickly to it. The enzymes in the stain will work quickly to cause discoloration and odor. The longer this is left on the carpet or flooring, the harder it will be for you to get the stain out fully. Quick work is in order any time that it is possible for that to happen.

Clean Effectively

There are many things that you can do wrong to cause that stain to set in your carpeting. Therefore, it is essential for you to get through the stain as quickly as possible and to do it the right away. Here are some basic steps for a basic level of cleaning.

Use a dry terry cloth to blot the stain to remove any liquid possible.

Remove any loose debris carefully, without rubbing it into the carpeting or flooring more so.

Use a solution of 50% water to 50% vinegar on the stain. Spray onto it.

Blot the stain with a dry, clean terry cloth to remove the stain.

Repeat as necessary.

If the vinegar solution is not effective at removing the stain, another solution is to add baking soda to the mixture and apply to the area. Just a few teaspoons are all that you need for a successful cleaning. This will cause a chemical reaction with the vinegar and together they will reactivate stains that have been sitting for too long to remove them completely.

If after the carpeting dries, you still smell odor, sprinkle the area with baking soda and let it sit overnight. In the morning, vacuum the area. The baking soda will have pulled all the odor out of the carpet completely.
