If you have pets you know that at some point or another they
will probably have an accident on your home's carpet. Whether
they are young and just learning the ropes or an older pet that
just can't make it to the door anymore, they will have an
accident at some point. Pet stains can be some of the most
difficult to remove, but why? Read this article and learn why
pet stains are so hard to remove.
There are a variety of reasons that pet stains are so hard to
remove. For starters when they urinate on the carpet they are
putting down an acid. The acid will eat right through any
carpet protector you might have and penetrate deep into the
fiber where they will be difficult to remove. Another reason
that they are so difficult to remove is because of the volume
that they put down. They put down so much liquid that the
surface fibers can not absorb it. This means that it penetrates
the carpet fibers and will go into the backing, the pad and the
sub floor. This really complicates the cleaning because it is
easy enough to clean the surface but much more difficult to
clean under it. Professional carpet cleaners do have methods of
sub surface cleaning but they are pricey and still might not
remove all of the material. The only way to really solve the
problem completely is to pull the carpet up and replace the pad
and clean both sides. This is a time consuming and expensive
process. The last reason that urine can be such a problem is
that it contains bacteria. This is what produces the odor. It
is feeding on the urine and releasing ammonia and will continue
to do so until you remove every bit of the urine.
As you can see, there are many reasons that urine stains are
difficult to remove. They are one of the hardest stains to
remove which is why if you are having an issue with pet stains
or odor you should call a professional carpet cleaner to handle
the job. So what are you waiting for, call a carpet cleaner
today and have a better smelling home tomorrow.
