Pet Problems?
We all love pets. Puppies and kittens are so cute and cuddly,
but the same pets that bring us such joy and happiness, also can create
some very big problems, especially when dealing with carpet and upholstery.
Owners of even the best-trained pets will occasionally encounter pet accidents. Often, the urine is not discovered until long after the accident. The types of damage from pet stains can be diverse and are dependent upon the makeup of the urine. Urine content will change over the pet's life because of the pet's diet, medications, age, health, sex, and reproductive cycles. Because of these variations, some urine stains may not be removable. We will, however exert every effort to give you the best quality cleaning possible.
Urine can affect the dyes used in carpet, although not all occurrences will result in a permanent stain. Success is dependent upon the content of the urine, the dyes and finish used, and the time elapsed after the deposit. Some urine spots may be immediately noticeable, while others may take weeks or months for a reaction. The dyes may change color immediately after contact with urine.
Another problem, especially with cats, is odor. Recently, enzymes have been developed that are more effective in treating odor problems. If odor cannot be removed, the damaged area of the carpet may need to be replaced with a piece from reserved scrap. If carpet replacement is necessary, then replacement of cushion and even sub flooring may also be necessary.
