A sizable portion of those living in Deerfield are dedicated pet owners, but keeping pets can often necessitate frequent carpet cleaning. After all, our dogs and cats can’t simply use the toilet like the rest of us, so in the process of housetraining them, we must also deal with cleaning up carpet stains. Even those of us who have succeeded in housetraining our pets might find ourselves dealing with the occasional accident. Unfortunately, many of us aren’t sure exactly how to remove stains left by pets, and we often opt to call a professional carpet cleaner instead. However, this isn’t always an ideal option for those on a tight budget. Even when carpet cleaning is affordable, you might be able to handle the issue yourself before paying someone else to do it for you.
If you’re dealing with a fresh urine stain, the process of cleaning your carpet is more tedious than anything, but it’s also effective and can be done entirely with various household items. It’s important to get right to work when there’s a stain to remove, however, so let’s not waste another second; the first step to cleaning your carpet in this situation is to get a fresh towel to soak up the stain. You might be squeamish about using one of your good towels to perform this task, so just use an old, discarded towel instead. Fold the cloth thickly and place it over the stain so that it covers the whole thing, then place a moderately heavy object on top of it. By weighing the towel down, you’re allowing it to take in more moisture. Leave it for about 10 minutes or so until most of the urine has been absorbed.
Once this is done, begin cleaning the carpet by soaking the remainder of the stain with clean water. Replace the towel and weigh it down again so that the excess moisture can be removed. This process takes roughly 30 minutes to complete. When it’s time to remove the towel, mix together some water and vinegar and apply it with a sponge or spray bottle. Fully cleaning the carpet and removing the stain necessitates making sure that the mixture is even. When this liquid is applied to the carpet, weigh down the towel one last time—overnight this time, so that the stain has ample time to diminish.
If done properly, these steps alone should be enough to remove any fresh urine stain from your carpet. Cleaning older stains in your Deerfield can be more difficult and may require the help of a carpet cleaning professional.
