Pets Urine
Let’s face it – everyone who has at some point owned a pat has had to deal with the smelly carpet. An untrained puppy or and older animal, marking its territory – the result is always the same. Here are some tips on how to deal with the problem in an environment- and health friendly way.
- In order to remove pet urine in an eco-way you need a biodegradable product that will wash away immediately and leave no residue behind. Luckily it often comes in a recycling packaging that continues the eco trend.
- Plant based products like the citrus or orange based are an excellent solution, even more than some harsh chemicals, and they don’t just mask the urine smell but actually remove it.
- You should be aware that chlorine bleach can create cancer causing chemicals in the waste water and shouldn’t use it. Other chemicals to avoid are once that contain petrochemical ingredients. Notice the label – eco friendly products contain only nontoxic ingredients.
- Your eco-friendly cleanser should not contain ammonia, because it is one of the ingredients of pet urine. This might encourage your pet to continue to use the same place as a toilet.
- Check for a green seal of approval. The bona fide organizations set the standards for green pee-cleaning products and alongside with GreenGuard make sure that you’re not getting greenwashed.
You might not smell it anymore, but your pet might – remember they have much stronger sense of smell than you. That’s why you need to make sure the odor is removed completely if you don’t want to deal with the same spot again and again, as your pet keeps coming back to use it in the same way.
Luckily, there are a great number of eco products that do it all – remove pet pee and keep the planet safe. Pet pee stains are never pleasant but you shouldn’t let them get on your nerves, because with the help of green cleaning products you can clean your home and save your planet at the same time.
Excellent blog, very imformative and to the point, keep up the good work.
Unlike other odors, urine is more than simply an odor control issue or even a stain and odor issue. There is also a health issue. So there are three issues to be addressed – Stain, odor and decontamination.
In order to attempt to achieve decontamination of urine in carpet the affected area needs to be completely saturated with the cleaning solutions down to the pad and then completely extracted.
In sever cases where the urine has penetrated through the padding down to the sub floor, the sub floor would also need to be treated.
Urine decontamination is a problem that needs to handled by a professional carpet cleaner that has the knowledge, expertise, and equipment necessary to evaluate and recommend a plan of action for decontamination.
