Maintaining Carpets Clean After a Pet Urine Accident

                         
Tips on Cleaning Carpets From Pet Urine

If you own pets you know how much work they are. Having a pet is just
like having a full time job. Pets require feeding, bathing, and exercising. Just
like taking care of your pets you also need to make sure you take care of
your carpeting.

Pets add additional traffic to your carpet and that can ruin the appearance of
your carpet. We know how to wipe our feet after being outside before
stepping onto the carpet but our pets do not. We know pets don’t know any
better so of course they will be messy.
Here are some tips on how your carpet can stay clean even with pets in your
house.

1. Please vacuum at least three times a week. It is a great way to remove
pet hair and keep the dirt from getting into the fibers.

2. When you have pets in the house it is likely that an accident will
occur. If your pet has an accident it is important to clean it up right
away. If you clean up the mess right away it is more likely you will
remove the whole stain leaving your carpet smelling fresh. If your pet
left a urine mess it is imperative that you start by soaking up the urine
with either towels or a wet vac. If you start with towels make sure to
push hard on the top of towel to make sure the urine gets absorbed.

3.You can use three parts warm water and one part vinegar after the
urine is removed from the carpet. Use a clean cloth and apply the
solution to the spot. You can cause further damage to the carpet if you
over saturate the carpet so be careful. Never rub a stain in the carpet.
Using clean water, rinse the spot off then use a wet vac or another
towel to dry.

4. Another cleaner you can use is baking soda. Baking soda
can help if there is still an odor in the carpet. On the spot put some
baking soda down and let it sit for a bit then vacuum it up. If you
have a dog they tend to have sensitive noses. So you need to remove
the entire odor from the carpet.

5. To remove the entire smell you need to dust your carpets with baking soda regularly. It is important to do this if you have a dog in your house that isn’t use to your carpet.
It is important to housebreak your pets. Pets will have accidents at first. If
you clean them up right away it can prevent further accidents.

6. There are some sprays that have scents that dogs do not like and these are sold in
pet stores and you can spray this on the carpet and it will work as a
repellent to keep the dog from having an accident on the carpet.
