Stains From Pets Can Get Nasty - How To Get Them Off Carpets?
You love your dog, love cuddling up with it and cannot bear the thought of locking it away in a cold kennel outside. But pets can be nasty on your home furnishing. It is a tough choice. The worst thing is that you may grow used to the smell in the house but a guest will immediately be out off by the pet smells.
Since most pet odors are due to accidents on the part of your pet, your first line of defense is to deal with the stains these accidents leave behind. If a pet has left a stain due to urination, vomiting or defecation, you’ll need to deal with it, immediately. Just picking up the solid waste and swiping at the stain isn’t enough.
- You have to give the soiled area a good cleaning. This can be done with vinegar, which also makes a wonderful deodorizer, or mild dish soap. After the stain is completely gone, rinse by blotting with a damp rag or paper towel.
- Sometimes with pet urination, wicking can occur. This means the stain went deep down into the lower fibers of the carpet and has pooled at the bottom. You may feel you got the entire stain out, but in a few hours or even a day or two, the stain will magically reappear as the liquid rises up through the fibers to the top of the carpet. To eliminate wicking, take a thick towel or rag and place over the stain. Weigh it down with some books or other heavy items and leave it there for a few hours or even overnight. This should absorb all of the liquid. Clean the stain once again to make sure it’s all lifted.
For all other stains on carpets, try using these quick carpet stain removal tips.
Quick Carpet Stain Removal Tips
We bring you some handy stain removal tips using house hold items once again.
Here are some products you can use to clean stains from your carpet. Try blotting the stain with:
- Hydrogen peroxide
-Denatured or rubbing alcohol
-Club soda or other clear sodas such as Sprite or ginger ale
-Milk (Saturate the stain and leave overnight before blotting with a damp cloth or sponge)
Never apply heat to the stain. This will lock in the stain and removal will be next to impossible. Also be careful to avoid stain reappearance. Sometimes, the staining agent gets deep down into the base of the carpet. When you clean the carpet, you might remove only the stain from the top portion. In a while, the liquid that is left in the base of the carpet is absorbed by the fibers and works its way back to the top of the carpet causing the stain to reappear. To avoid this, clean the stain with one of the above solutions and cover with a thick towel. Place heavy weights over the towel to absorb all the staining liquid. Leave this for a few hours.
Another good tip to remember is to test out any stain remover in a hidden area of your carpet to make sure it won't damage your carpet further. If you are too afraid to try and experiment on your carpet, you could call in the professional carpet cleaning service providers. However, there are things to know before you choose the right cleaning service provider. If you still want to resort to using a chemical, there are plenty of chemical products in the market to assist you. Just be sure to read the label to understand if the product is compatible with your particular carpet. Also, make sure to follow all the guidelines as given by the product itself.
