Do you make
these mistakes when trying to clean cat urine from carpet?
Or what not to do....
Using
baking soda or a product containing baking soda. Have you ever
seen a large box of baking soda labeled, Pet Odor & Stain
Remover, on the self with other pet odor removers?
Using
vinegar as a pet stain and odor remover. Again, have you ever
seen a large bottle of vinegar labeled as a Pet Stain & Odor
Remover, on the self with other pet odor removers?
Baking soda (alkaline) and vinegar (acid) will change the pH balance
within your carpet and will make the bacterial or enzyme
cleaners less effect. If you have used baking soda or vinegar,
you will need to treat each area multiple times in order to
neutralize the pH imbalanced caused by the baking soda or
vinegar.
Have you
used a spray type urine odor remover and sprayed the surface of
the carpet? Did you know that most of the urine has soaked into
the carpet padding and sub-floor. So when you used the spray
type odor remover, it may have just treated the carpet surface.

Cleaning Carpet of
Cat or Dog Urine Odor and Stains
For those
of you who didn't know, both male and female cats spray,
secondly, male cats do squat when urinating on floors. Male
dogs, obviously, lift their legs to urinate. But, they also
squat too. Don't worry, I'll be getting to my point on why this
is important.
When a cat
squats to pee, because he's so close the carpet, the urine stain
is about the size of a quarter. Most of the urine has penetrated
down into the padding and sub-floor. The same applies to dogs
when they urinate on the carpet.
Lets
assume you have one cat, and the cat urinated just once on the
carpet. If you use a black light to find the urine stain, you'll
see a glowing spot about the size of a quarter.
Cats tend
to use the same areas when urinating. So if you see urine stains
3-6 inches around, your cat had urinated in that area multiple,
multiple times. Now you have a serious odor problem, the urine
has spread below the carpet in an circular area about 1-2 feet
wide.
So do you
think by using baking soda, vinegar, or a spay on pet odor
remover on the urine stain you see on top of the carpet will
solve the urine odor problem? Wrong!
To remove urine odor from carpet, the pet odor remover
must penetrate all 3 layers of your flooring: carpet
fibers, carpet padding, and into the sub-floor (concrete
or wood). This is the only way you can remove urine from
your carpet. |
So how do you
eliminate urine odors so imbedded in your carpet?
With a
little patience and a high grade, commercial grade bacterial
concentrate. The concentrate needs to be diluted with water at a
ratio of about 1:10 (one part concentrate to 10 parts water)
Because
you don't know if that 6 inch spot was cause by your cat
urinating 10 or 100 times in the same area, its a good idea to
treat the area 2-3 times.
Sound
simple? Believe it or not it can be easy if you choose the right
product and are willing to treat each area 3-4 times. You need
to pour about 1-2 cups of pre-mix bacterial concentrate on each
area. Repeat the application in about 24-48 hours. Make sure you
treat each area at least 3 times.
To prevent recurring urine stain accidents you have to
completely eliminate the urine odor from the pet's perspective.
When we think we have cleaned the cat urine and removed the
smell completely, the pet may still smell the residual urine
odor. To prevent your pet from staining the same area again,
treat the area 3-4 times to ensure you have removed all traces
of urine.
