Pet Urine Cleaning Services In Franklin, TN

If you’ve decided to hire a professional carpet cleaner, or not, there are a few DIY methods you can use to clean pet stains and urine odors. But always remember with any DIY carpet cleaning method, you need to do proper research beforehand. Otherwise, you could end up using the wrong cleaning method for the particular fabric or stain you are treating.

First, you can attempt to remove as much of the pet urine as possible by yourself. Just remember to do a spot test first in a small hidden area to avoid permanently damaging your carpet or any other fabric.

Start by blotting the stain with a clean towel and warm water, and then spray a small amount of diluted hydrogen peroxide or white vinegar onto the stain. These work as effective odor and stain removers. You can also sprinkle baking soda onto the affected area, this method works as an odor eliminator. Also, don’t forget to wear gloves when using any cleaner to protect your skin from chemicals.

Hydrogen Peroxide Cleaning Method

• If you are using diluted hydrogen peroxide to remove pet urine stains, mix 4 tablespoons of peroxide and dilute it with 2 tablespoons of warm water. Then, gently blot the solution into the carpet with a clean paper towel. Blot the area until it’s completely dry.

Baking Soda Cleaning Method

• If you’re using baking soda as an odor remover, sprinkle the baking soda over the affected area, using no more than one cup. After waiting five minutes to fifteen minutes, you can vacuum it up.
• You can repeat this process over the stained area as needed as an odor eliminator.

White Vinegar Cleaning Method

• For this method, add one part of white vinegar and three parts water to a spray bottle. Spray the vinegar solution over the spot as an odor remover and stain remover. Allow the vinegar to sit on the stain for a few minutes, then use a wet/dry vacuum cleaner on the spot until it is completely dry.
• If you don’t have a wet/dry vacuum, you can blot the affected area with clean paper towels until the spot is completely dry.
• Remember to never use a steam cleaner when removing urine stains. Hot temperatures from steam cleaners will permanently adhere the urine to the carpet fibers.

Purchasing Professional Cleaning Agents

• If you’re still noticing that the stain or odor didn’t budge, you may want to consider using a professional enzymatic cleaner to remove tough stains. There are several available to consumers online or at your local hardware store. Make sure to closely follow the instructions on the bottle, and test in a small area first.

What to Expect During Professional Pet Urine Removal

Our expert carpet cleaners typically start the cleaning process by pre-treating any particularly soiled areas. They will then use a variety of the proper tools and techniques to clean the stain based on their diagnosis. This includes anything from carpet shampooing to dry cleaning, or an enzyme treatment. After our team is done cleaning, we will often use professional ultraviolet light detectors to locate any pet urine remaining deep in the carpet. This ensures 100% of the urine odor is removed.

After our professional carpet cleaners have finished their job, it is a good idea to place a few fans in the room to help speed up the drying process. To avoid quickly re-soiling your freshly cleaned carpets, don’t walk on them until they are completely dry. Also, don’t allow your pets on the carpets until they are completely dry.

If you still notice strong cat urine or dog urine smells after a carpet cleaning, you might want to get your carpets professionally deodorized. This is a specialized service that isn’t typically included in standard carpet cleaning packages, so be sure to ask about it during your pet stain removal consultation!

How to Keep Pet Accidents from Staining your Carpet

While it may be difficult, it is possible to avoid letting pet urine stain your carpets, rugs, and upholstery by catching the accident as soon as it happens. If you catch the wet pet pee before it penetrates into the underlying carpet pad and foundation, it will be much easier to completely remove. If you happen to catch an accident while it is still wet, always blot the urine spot from the outer edge to the middle. Additionally, wiping or rubbing the spot with a towel will do further damage by spreading the urine and not properly absorbing it.

Keep in mind, hiring a professional pet stain and odor removal service is usually the best option for many homeowners. Our professionals guarantee a safe and effective removal of pet urine staining and odors. We remove stains on multiple surfaces – carpets, rugs, and upholstery – which could need several different tools and solutions depending on the fabric type.
