Pet Urine Damage To Carpets: Carpet Cleaning Castle Rock 

Pet urine can cause permanent damage to your carpets and rugs. It can also create an unhealthy indoor environment as ammonia gasses are released in the air you breath. The warm acid state of the urine in combination of higher humidity levels offers a perfect breeding ground for bacteria, which can spread rapidly. If left uncleaned, depending on the carpet or rug, the high ph will change the dye structure, therefore causing yellow staining. Even if the urine deposits are extracted, the damage to the dye structure may already be permanent. 

The first comes from bacteria that grow abundantly in dark warm places with a never-ending food source. A pets urine can feed the bacteria daily! When dried urine is spreads, it gives off an ammonia gas and it can be even more stronger during days with high levels of humidity.

The second source of odor is when urine has been broken down by an enzyme when the bacteria have been killed. The salts crystals that are in the carpet activate once the urine dries are hydrophilic and draw water to them. You must get rid of the urine in the carpet and the padding in order to get rid of the ammonia gasses that smell. Any urine left behind may grow and spread in the environment temporarily as humidity levels increase. Having this cleaned by a professional is the only way to properly remove all the urine and the bacteria it creates.
