Get rid of the pet stains and odours your four-legged friend has left behind
Pets are great to have around the house. But they’re not so loveable when they have an accident on your valuable carpet.
If your pet leaves a urine stain, you’ll need to act quickly to avoid leaving a damaging stain and remove urine odour. Why?
Because the acid in pet urine begins to react with carpet fabric almost straight away, leading to a change in the fibre colour almost immediately. If that wasn’t reason enough, urine left in fibre never really dries out. The uric salts are readily reactivated by moisture in the air, or even normal carpet cleaning which is why urine can smell even many years later.
When pet urine penetrates carpet or rug fibres, it soaks into the fibres, as well as the carpet backing, carpet pad and sub-floor. The stain you see on the surface is actually much smaller than the contaminated area beneath the surface that you can’t see. Therefore, a visible urine spot the size of a drink coaster may spread to become the size of a dinner plate by the time it reaches the sub-floor.
Urine is initially acidic but it turns alkaline over time, thus potentially causing permanent damage to your carpet fibres. Worst of all, urine stays in the carpet, giving off a foul-smelling odour long after the initial damage has been done.
Removing stains and odour requires specialised skills, products and techniques. Tuft & Weave will get the job done right the first time around.
Removing urine stains requires a specialised approach. The uric salts left behind in pet urine aren’t water soluble, which means steam or dry cleaning the carpet alone won’t remove them.
Tuft & Weave understands what unique treatment is needed to neutralise the uric salts left in carpet fibres. All pet urine stains (visible to the naked eye or not) are identified under a UV light and then treated. Our treatment removes the urine stain and odour from your carpet by liquefying and breaking down the salts trapped in the carpet. The result is a carpet left clean, deodorised and smelling fantastic.
In some cases, the best outcome is achieved by replacing the carpet padding, treating and sealing the subfloor, as well as either cleaning or replacing the carpet.
