Mistakes to Avoid With DIY Pet Stains

Carpet Cleaning Castle Rock 

Many pet owners try to clean pet stains and odors thinking they can do it themselves without the help of a carpet cleaning professional, but common mistakes can make cleaning pet stains much worse and in some cases set in the pet stain permanently. 

• Using Store Bought Carpet Cleaners: Buying store bought carpet cleaning products for pet stains is not effective. These products do not contain the proper enzymes and deodorizers to get the job done right.
• Scrubbing Aggressively: When you scrub to hard on a pet stain two things are happening that are not good. First the scrubbing action is pushing the stain deeper into fibers instead of removing it. Second you are actually with the friction causing fiber damage that cannot be reversed. 
• Not Replacing Padding: Pet urine can seep below the carpet down in the padding even into the subfloor. You can clean the carpet but if there is pet urine in the padding and subfloor you will still experience pet odors. 
• Not Addressing All Affected Areas: Pets often return to multiple spots, so just cleaning one area you may be missing and area that your unaware off. 
• Overusing Water: Excess moisture can promote mold and mildew spores. It can also causes carpet browning that will need an acid application to reverse.
