3 Simple Steps To Remove Pet Stains From Your Carpet

During the years one of the most asked question my clients ask is how do I remove pet stains from my carpet after my pet has an accident?

Well, my answer to this question is keep it simple! There really is only 3 simple steps you must follow and in this post I will go over these steps and if you follow them you will have great success.

Step # 1

First, thing you must do is have the right cleaners for the job:

1. 32oz. spray bottle
2. Distilled white vinegar
3. Can of scented lysol
4. White terry cloth towels

Take your 32 oz. spray bottle and mix 1/2 distilled white vinegar and 1/2 water. Get a can of scented lysol and some good white terry cloth towels. Put these items in a easy to reach area for quick access.

Step # 2

1) For # 2 (poo,poo) accidents make sure you first pick up the waste with some toilet paper and dispose of it in the toilet. Then go back to the area and apply a couple of sprays of your white vinegar mixture over the spot. Double fold the terry cloth towel and blot by standing upright and using your foot. This will keep you from rubbing the fibers of the carpet and causing them to fray. After doing this spray some scented lysol on the area to help disinfect and deoderize.

2) For # 1 (pee,pee) accidents take your terry cloth towel and blot up the stain as much as possible. Make sure to follow the blotting instructions above. Then simply spray some of your white vinegar solution over the area and turn the terry cloth towel over and repeat the blotting procedures. After doing this spray some scented lysol over the area to again help disinfect and deoderize.


Step # 3

After the areas of the carpet has had a chance to dry simply vacuum over the area to help remove any residue that may have been left behind. And that's it!


In Closing:

Keep it simple! If you follow the steps above you will have great success in removing the spot plus disinfecting and deoderizing the area!

If you have a major accident it may be best to contact your professional and get his advice or have them come out and help with the situation. I know this is sometimes not what you want to do because of the expense but by paying a small service fee can really help you from early carpet replacement.
