Upholstery Pet Stain and Odor Treatment

No matter how much we love our pets, there's no denying that they can be a handful at times, and little accidents are part and parcel of living with pets. If you have a young puppy or a cat, you may have some trouble litter training them. Sometimes your four legged friends, whether they are allowed to or not, can climb on your sofa leaving pet hair and dander behind. In some cases they may have even had accidents on, or marked their territory on the corners of your favorite chair. Even though you clean the area as fast as possible at home, these accidents can still leave stains and odors behind.

It's something that comes with the territory, literally, in the case of dogs. Your furry little friends may repeatedly be urinating in the same spot no matter how much you scold and punish them. However, it's an ingrained habit for them as that is how they "mark their territory," but when this frequently happens on your furniture, it can cause serious problems.

The urine and feces may get soaked into the furniture, where it can penetrate the fibers and contaminate the padding underneath. So, when you need help keeping your furniture clean after your pet has done their "business" all over it, turn to Decker's Carpet Cleaning for professional pet stain and odor treatment.

The Nitty Gritty on Urine Treatment

There are two sources of odor that can be associated with pet urine, and both need to be addressed when removing odors. When pets urinate on your sofa, sectional, loveseat, chairs, or other upholstered furniture, there is a chemical reaction that takes place. Urine starts as an acidic substance, but as it dries, it crystallizes into an alkaline salt deposit that is not water soluable and cannot be cleaned out with soaps, shampoos, or our standard upholstery cleaning solutions and require special urine focused cleaning solutions to break down. These salt deposits also attract bacteria that feed on the salts. As this process happens gases and waste materials created by this process give off a horrid smell that can quickly become unbearable and hard to forget. Most other treatment methods for urine stains and odors, especially household cleaning products you can buy in the store marketed for "pet stain and odor treatment", only attack one of these issues. Most of these products are heavy soaps with enzymes to kill the bacteria. There are three main problems with this:

• Soaps/ Shampoos/ Spot Cleaners are on the alkaline side of the pH scale, meaning they will not do anything to break down the alkaline salt deposit in the upholstery
• Enzymes on their own can be a helpful tool, but there is more to the picture. Even when enzymes are used to kill off the bacteria present, they do not do anything to break down the salt deposit. Since the salt deposit is still there, more bacteria will become attracted to the area, causing the problem to continue
• These products are generally very hard to rinse out and can leave soapy deposits in the upholstery, leading to dirt and soils sticking to the spot on top of the urine issue that is already present. They can also cause discoloration of the fibers or setting the stain in some materials such as cotton or linen.

Our advanced, cutting-edge urine remidiation solutions attack the problem at the source. We use a solution that breaks down the salt deposit, killing the bacteria and removing its' food source so no future bacteria come to repopulate and restart the odor problems. Not only that, these products are formulated to remove the yellowing, or sometimes greying stains present from pet accidents. Sometimes additional enzymes, or tannin stain removal treatments are necessary on top of our Standard Urine Treatment, and our technicians have the know how to let you know what needs to be done on site, so we can address the issue the first time.

We use both low-moisture, and Hot Water Extraction upholstery cleaning methods, depending on the severity of the stains and odor, and the material of the upholstery. Our technicians will examine your carpet's condition and select the most appropriate cleaning solutions and treatments. Here are some of the methods we use for pet stain and odor removal cleaning:

• Hot Water Extraction Cleaning with Urine Pre-Conditioner to break up urine deposits, removing stains and odors
• Low Moisture Encapsulation Cleaning that encapsulates urine spots and allows for removal through the use of an absorbant pad, speeding up dry times
• Additional Deodorizer that neutralizes odor causing molecules, not just cover them up
• Subsurface treatment options for localized, heavy repeated areas
