How To Remove Pet Odors From Carpet
Copyright (c) 2011 JC Baselli
When your pet makes a mess on the carpet, it doesn't take long before it starts to stink - a lot! You can spend your time laying a towel down, stomping around on it to absorb the spill, and then scrubbing and rinsing trying to get your carpets clean. That seems like a lot of work. While you'll still have to worry about giving the area a wipe to get any stains out, there are better ways to get pet odors out of carpet, without having to worry about getting all the way down to the tiny fibers at the bottom.
There are many odor eliminators on the market that work by simply shaking them onto your carpet and then vacuuming them up. These odor eliminators will absorb any smell when they're applied so that after you vacuum the smell will go in the bag or the trash along with the rest of the debris you vacuum up. If you don't want to invest in specialized products, baking soda will work much the same way. It's advisable though to only use these products on low-pile carpets as with very high pile, the odor eliminator can get trapped at the bottom, where not even vacuums can suck it up.
Another treatment for removing pet odors from carpet, especially when they're very stubborn stains, is to steam clean the carpets. If you don't have a steam cleaner there are many equipment rental stores and even grocery stores that carry equipment and complete cleaning kits. While this can be very effective at removing the stain, and getting pet odors out of carpet, it's important to remember dry the carpet as much as possible with the steam cleaner; this is done by sucking out as much of the water as you can. The longer water is left on your carpet, the greater chance there is for mould and mildew, which will also put new odors into your carpet.
Removing pet odors from carpet is never a fun job but there are ways that you can make it easier. Whichever way you choose, it's important to remember that when you're done, nothing should be left on your carpets - not any mess, any odor, or any cleaning product. This will extend the life of your carpet, and keep odors out of it for good!
