Pet Urine Cleaning Services In Murfreesboro, TN

If you know you want to hire a professional carpet cleaner, or are still deciding, there are a few DIY methods you can use to clean pet stains and urine odors. Just keep in mind, with any DIY carpet cleaning method, you need to do proper research beforehand. Otherwise, you could end up causing damage by using the wrong cleaning method for the particular fabric or stain you’re treating.

You can always attempt to remove as much of the pet urine as possible by yourself. Just remember to do a spot test first in a small hidden area to avoid permanently damaging your carpet or any other fabric.

Start by blotting the stain with a clean towel and warm water, then spray a small amount of diluted hydrogen peroxide or white vinegar onto the stain. This will work as an effective odor and stain remover. You can also sprinkle baking soda over the affected area as an odor eliminator. Also, don’t forget to wear a pair of gloves when using any of these cleaning methods to protect your skin from chemicals.

Hydrogen Peroxide Cleaning Method

• If you are using a diluted hydrogen peroxide solution to remove pet urine stains, mix 4 tablespoons of peroxide and dilute it with 2 tablespoons of warm water. Next, gently blot the solution into the carpet with clean paper towels. Blot the area until it’s completely dry.

Baking Soda Cleaning Method

• If you’re using baking soda as an odor remover, first sprinkle the baking soda over the affected area, using no more than one cup. After waiting five minutes to fifteen minutes, you can vacuum it up.
• You can repeat this process as necessary as an odor eliminator.

White Vinegar Cleaning Method

• For this method, add one part white vinegar and three parts water to a spray bottle. Spray the vinegar solution over the stain as an odor remover and a stain remover. Allow the vinegar to sit on the stain for a few minutes, then use a wet/dry vacuum cleaner on the spot until it is completely dry.
• If you don’t have a wet/dry vacuum cleaner, you can blot the affected area with clean paper towels until the spot is completely dry.
• When dealing with pet stains, keep in mind to never use a steam cleaner. Hot temperatures from steam cleaners will permanently adhere the urine to the carpet fibers resulting in a permanent odor.

Purchasing Professional Cleaning Agents

• If you’re still noticing that the stain or odor isn’t budging, you may want to consider using a professional enzymatic cleaner to remove tough stains. There are several available to consumers online or from your local hardware store. Make sure to closely follow the instructions on the label, and test in a small hidden area first.

Once you’ve done all you can to absorb urine odors and remove stubborn stains from your carpets, it’s time to call in the professionals. We will use carefully selected professional tools and our years of expertise to get your home and family members happy and healthy again.

What to Expect During Professional Pet Urine Removal

Our expert carpet cleaners will typically start the cleaning process by pre-treating any particularly stained areas. They will then use a variety of the proper professional tools and solutions to clean the stain based on their diagnosis. This includes anything from carpet shampooing to dry cleaning, or an enzyme treatment. After our team is done cleaning, we may use a professional ultraviolet light detector to locate any non-visible stains remaining deep in the carpet. This ensures 100% of the urine odor is removed.

After our professional carpet cleaners have finished the job, it’s a good idea to place a few fans in the room to help speed up the drying process. To avoid quickly re-soiling your newly cleaned carpets, don’t walk on them until they are completely dry. Also, just as importantly, don’t allow your pets on the carpets while they are still wet.

If you still notice strong cat urine or dog urine smells after your professional carpet cleaning, you might want to get your carpets professionally deodorized. This is a specialized service that isn’t usually included in standard carpet cleaning packages, so be sure to ask about it during your pet stain removal consultation!

How to Keep Pet Accidents from Staining your Carpet

While it may sound difficult, it is possible to avoid letting pet urine stain your carpets, rugs, and upholstery by catching the accident as soon as it happens. If you are able to catch the wet pet pee before it penetrates into the underlying carpet pad and foundation, it will be much easier to completely remove. If you do happen to catch an accident while it’s still wet, always blot the urine spot from the outer most edge to the middle. Additionally, wiping or rubbing the spot with a towel will do further damage by spreading the urine and not properly absorbing it.

Keep in mind, hiring an expert pet stain and odor removal service is usually the best option for many Murfreesboro, TN homeowners. Our professionals guarantee the safe and effective removal of pet urine staining and odors. We remove stains on multiple surfaces – carpets, rugs, and upholstery – which might need several different tools and solutions depending on the fabric type.

How to Prevent Urine Contamination on your Carpet

Pet urine contamination can be mostly prevented by kenneling dogs at night or when you aren’t home. Baby gates also prove to be an effective method because you can restrict your pets from accessing carpeted areas if you’re busy or not home. Additionally, you should avoid using pee pads unless you always want to always have one around for your dog. They oftentimes teach puppies that it’s okay to pee inside. Also, if you’re a Tennessee homeowner with a fenced in yard, dog doors will allow your pet to go outside without having to ask.  Lastly, if you’re a puppy owner, just remember that puppies need let out every hour to avoid accidents. This gives them more opportunities to learn to pee outside and for you to positively reward them.

If you are a cat owner, scooping their litter box daily will prevent them from peeing outside of the box where it’s cleaner.
