Think Clean. Think Pristine.

After a minor pet accident, it might be easy to clean up the area quickly. However, when pet stains are reoccurring in your home, it might be time to bring in a professional for a more thorough treatment. Failing to do so comes with far more issues than you might imagine.

Stain Assessment

When it comes to pet stains, what you see is not always what you get, especially when it comes to urine. You might think your efforts are effective, but they might only be tackling the surface. Pet urine can easily travel to the padding and subsurface of flooring, such as carpet. So, even when you remove the stain on the top, remnants of the stain remain below. A professional can assess the surface to see if a deep clean is required. 

Odor Removal

An important thing to note about pet stains is that removing the stain does not always equal eliminating the odor. The ammonia and uric acid in pet urine gives it an especially foul odor, coupled with the fact that these elements can seep into surfaces, even after cleaning, and it is possible for the odor to linger. Professional cleaning typically involves the use of enzymes that break down these elements to remove the stain and any lingering odor fully.

Material Protection

You cannot clean your couch the same way you would your floor. Yet, a lot of pet owners use a single product to remove pet stains in their homes. Over time, this practice will lead to damage. Professional cleaners have a variety of products and equipment suited for various material and fabric types and typically test surfaces before performing a complete cleaning. When you use a one-size-fits-all approach, what was once a simple cleanup for a pet stain can turn into complete damage. 

Bacteria

Pets carry certain bacteria inside their body that might be harmless to them but a health hazard to humans, especially when it comes to their waste. It is essential that pet stains be professionally cleaned to remove any potential hazards. Similar to the odor, typical household cleaners may remove the stain, but they may not be suited to kill bacteria. As a result, any harmful bacteria inside the stain will remain on the surface after cleaning. Professional cleaners can help keep your family safer.
