Pet Stain Removal Tips
Puppy puddle? Don’t fret – follow these clean up tips to take the stress out of your pet mess:
Think fast: The more quickly you clean up the mess, the easier it will be, and the less likely stains will set.
Reduce soiling and smell: Clean as well as deodorize and remove the odor. That includes what you
can’t smell. Remember that animals have a much greater sense of smell. If animals can detect a prior
pet mess or marking, they may try to mark over it.
Use pet-safe products: Use nontoxic products that are specifically made for pet messes and pet odors.
They are typically more effective, since they organically break down waste while neutralizing odors, and
they are safer for homes with animals. But always check the label to be sure.
Treat stains properly: This will help you to avoid permanent damage to carpets and upholstery. Visit the links to the left for more cleaning tips specific to upholstery, leather, wood and carpet.
