PETS AND PROBLEMS

Our pets bring us years of enjoyment, affection, and fond memories. It’s almost hard to imagine life without them. But Fido and Fluffy, no matter how well trained, can leave us little reminders that they are around.

These stains are common, but can be one of the most complex problems cleaners face. The first problem is just finding them all. If some get treated and some do not, we have not done our job well. We use a ‘urine detection light’. It is an ultraviolet light that works best in the dark to find urine spots.

There are 3 dimensions to a urine stain: the obvious odor, the discoloration and the health consideration. The odor is unpleasant, and even worse when there is moisture present or high humidity which reactivates it. A rain on a hot day is a classic reactivator of odors. Effective deodorization may include the carpet, the pad, and possibly the subfloor.

The discoloration in urine contamination is an actual dye and can indeed redye your carpet, particularly light and pastel colored carpets. This can happen immediately or over time. Our PeeBe Gone Process has given us incredible results for dicoloration.

Urine allowed to remain in fabrics is unsanitary. When kids play on the carpet, invariably the same fingers touch the urine contamination also touch the eyes, ears, nose etc. The carpet must be sanitized and the bacteria counteracted. The good news is no matter how bad it is there is a solution. With proper training, solutions, equipment and methods, we can effectively treat urine contamination.

Prevention is easier to handle than the remedy and is more cost effective. Cleanup accidents immediately (see our "steps to remove urine" for more help) or check out our urine specifice product that we sell called "Ur-Out". Choose wisely how to raise & train your pet, and enjoy the many years of love in return from your pet!
