Pet Stain Removal

Pet Stain Removal He’s Your Best Friend. Not Your Carpet’s!

For many families, their pets are a vital part of their family unit. Just like other family members, we normally don’t get rid of them when they have “accidents”. While pets can and do provide a variety of benefits within households, their “accidents” can also create challenges.

Facts You Need to Know About Pet Urine in Your Carpeting!

Urine deposited on carpet does not stay on the surface. It also penetrates the fibres and contaminates both the backing of the carpet and the flooring material below the carpet. Often, without your knowledge, pets will urinate continually in the same general location, causing significant contamination and damage.

Urine odours can permeate from the floor, be it cement or wood, from the tack strips, and even from the framework of the house behind the walls.

As urine dries, the liquid evaporates but the urine crystals become even more concentrated and pungent. Simple cleaning will not remove this odour. In fact, these urine crystals are frequently re-activated by moisture. Have you noticed that urine odours become more noticeable as humidity increases? Similarly, the moisture of any cleaning process may cause the urine odour to become more pronounced.

Urine can also cause permanent colour damage, either from adding colour by dying the carpet fibres or removing colour by releasing carpet dyes. However, our unique PURT formulation can also help remove urine spots that have not permanently damaged the existing fibres.
