Training a new pet can be hard work, and home carpets may bear the brunt of your efforts before a cat or dog establishes correct indoor behavior. Elderly pets can start having accidents, too. Strong odors and pet hair trapped in carpets can make cleaning difficult, especially when accidents occur on an ongoing basis. To reduce carpet damage and increase the success of your pet odor removal efforts, vacuum regularly and try to attack the soiled area as soon as you find evidence of an accident.
Immediate Removal Saves Flooring
Taking immediate steps to address pet accidents will lessen long-term effects like lingering odor or carpet stains. Also, animals tend to have future accidents in areas where they smell pet odors. Because liquid substances such as pet urine can penetrate down to the padding, you will need to blot up as much of the accident as soon as possible to avoid permanent damage. The Institute of Inspection Cleaning and Restoration Certification (IICRC) recommends working from the outside of the soiled area in using a bristle brush and paper towels. Remember to blot rather than scrub with paper towels to avoid pieces tearing and sticking in the carpet. If the odor lingers after treatment, you may need to call in a professional carpet cleaner.
Masking Pet Odor vs. Eliminating It
Air fresheners, household cleaning products, or scented candles may only temporarily mask pet odors. Unfortunately, with these methods, the masking scent eventually wears off and the animal will be drawn back to the accident site. To completely eliminate lingering pet odors, you should apply a cleaning product specifically made to treat them, like ZeroStink, which completely destroys pet odors rather than just masking them. The nontoxic formula in ZeroStink is 100 percent safe for homes and eliminates pet odors not only from carpets, but also from the air and fabrics in your home.
