Carpet Cleaning Services London - 3 Ways to Remove Pet Stains & Odour

They’re sweet, they’re adorable. We love to cuddle our pets all the time. But they’re particularly annoying and not-so-cute when we find them damaging the expensive furnishings, especially the carpets. You’ve cleaned them up but still get the stench. And now, you don’t know how to remove the pet odour and stains from the carpet. Should you Google ‘tips to remove pet urine from carpets’ or avail professional carpet cleaning services in London? Well, if you listen to the experts, the latter will always be the best option and we’ll tell you why!

Getting rid of pet urine smell from your carpet is challenging when you don’t know the right ways. So, here are the proven methods to remove pet stains and freshen up your carpet.

Tips to Remove Pet Stains & Odour From Your Carpet

1.      Give homemade solutions a shot: Interestingly, when we find such unsightly stains on our expensive carpets, we first search for homemade remedies as the products are easy to get. The best recommended homemade solutions include:

·       Baking soda and vinegar: Pour a little amount of vinegar on the stained area. Sprinkle baking soda on top of this. You might hear a bubbling sound but it’s just baking soda and vinegar reacting together. Use a plastic wrap to cover the stain and wait till the spot is completely dry. Pick up the wrap and scoop out the dried baking soda, wash the area with cold water and pat it dry.

·       Ammonia: Wash the stained spot with two tablespoons of ammonia and one cup of water. Dab the spot dry with a towel.

·       Hydrogen peroxide: Take four tablespoons of hydrogen peroxide, two tablespoons of warm water and few drops of dish soap in a spray bottle. Mix it well. Spray the solution on the stain, wash it and towel dry.

2.     Use a store-bought stain remover: If the results of homemade solutions are disheartening, you can try out commercial stain removal products that are abundantly available. Make sure the products follow a formula that’s non-toxic and safe for both you and your pet. You can apply the remover directly on the stain; the spot must be dry as much as possible so use a towel to do that. Spray the cleaner on the spot, if there’s excess, wipe it clean with a towel. After an hour or two, remove the residue with water, towel dry the spot and lastly, vacuum for the perfect dry and crisp look. It’s important to note that if you’re using a stain remover, use a small amount of it first and then apply more. Avoid over-saturating the stain by applying an excess of the remover as it might leave elements that easily attract dirt to your carpet.

3.     Schedule a professional carpet cleaning service: Nothing is more powerful in removing pet stains and odour than by hiring professional carpet cleaning services in London. Homemade solutions and store-bought stain removers are only effective (not in all cases) in eliminating surface stains. But when pet urine drips into the carpet backing, the carpet pad precisely and even inside the flooring, you have concentrated foul-smelling crystals left behind which form after the moisture dries. The stinky smell in your living room or dining room is due to these malodorous crystals. Removing them properly requires special products, tools and expert skills. That’s when professional carpet cleaning services come into play!
