Pet Urine On Carpet And Rugs

Pet urine can cause permanent damage to your floors and fabrics. It can also create an unhealthy indoor environment. When urine is first deposited onto a floor or fabric, it is in an almost “natural” state which means it is easier to remove when it is fresh. Once it dries it turns “alkaline” and becomes more difficult to remove. If the urine gets to the alkaline state it can permanently change the dye structure of the fiber or fabric, therefore causing permanent staining. To prevent permanent staining in the future, clean urine spots immediately by blotting with a white terry cloth towel or plain white paper towel until no more moisture is transferring into the towel. To clean the spot, either get our special spot remover “Vet’s Trust” or mix 1 part white vinegar to 2 parts water and massage (don’t rub) into the spot with a white terry cloth. Once you have flushed as mush of the urine out as possible, blot with dry cloths until dry to the touch. If you have a small extraction machine, flush with fresh water until the spot is removed.
