More on pet spots


Even the best carpet cleaners are not magicians.  Sometimes the pet urine can go past the fibers, into the pad and down to the cement.  In this case you will have to pull back the carpet and pad and treat the cement before the problem will go away.  For the best treatment, in between professional services as previously  mentioned, use water.  First dab up the urine with a clean white, dry, cloth, then add water, filtered water is best.  Dab up with another clean white dry cloth. Continue this until you feel you have flushed the area.  If pet spots are a continued problem in your home we suggest a portable unit.  Not to shampoo the area with soap but to get a better rinse and extract with water between professional services.   You can try nature’s miracle that’s available at the pet stores.  I have heard some say it works and others say it didn’t.   Remember your carpet is one of the biggest expenses in your home so if you find yourself with a furry loved one who has repeated accidents, the cost of a good portable may be worth it. 


I hope this was helpful!

It's the little things.

A simple thing like placing rugs at the exits and entrances of your home or business will lengthen the life of your floors.  
It traps dirt, sand and grit tracked in by shoes.  That same dirt, sand and grit can scratch your tile and grind on the fibers of the carpets.
So if you're like me and can't deal with getting everyone to remove their shoes before they come in.... this is your next best option.
