When you bring home a pet, you likely are thinking of the wonderful times that you will share with your new furry friend! Whether you have an adult pet or a puppy or kitten, you will have your fair share of cleaning up after pet stains. Even the most well-behaved pets can have accidents if they are scared, aren’t let out when they need to go, or even if they are getting used to an unfamiliar area. If you are prepared beforehand, then pet stain cleaning doesn’t have to be a big deal or leave your carpeting with permanent reminders of your pet. Here are a few ways to avoid pet stain permanence.

• Act Quickly! When urine or vomit dries, it can be incredibly hard to remove the smell. Whenever possible, quickly clean up after your pet has an accident. You’ll need some rags, a cleaning solution (vinegar and baking soda work relatively well and are natural solutions), and patience.
• Blot, Blot, Blot. One of the biggest mistakes people make with pet stain cleaning is to rub the fibers or upholstery where the stain is. Rather than scrubbing at the stain, blot at it. Rubbing only forces the stain further into the fibers, making them harder to remove and more likely to set.
• Know When to Call Experts. If you have pets, you should call our experts at Same Day Steamerz for regular cleanings of all your carpets and upholstery. However, if you have a pet stain that is new or one you didn’t get to in time, you can contact us for spot treatments as well!
