Carpet Cleaning when you have Pets

Whether you currently have a dog or are planning on adding one, you are in for a treat. Pets are fantastic at giving unconditional love, and they are a great addition to the family. If you are getting a puppy, you are probably aware that you will have to potty train. Dog urine is tough on carpets, and it can ruin your flooring very quickly. If your pooch had an accident on your carpet, give Blu Residential Carpet Cleaning a call. To keep your carpet looking and smelling great, make an appointment today with one of our experienced professionals.

In the meantime, consider the following suggestions in order to best avoid for stains and odors:  

Clean Up the Mess as Soon as Possible

Keeping an eye on your new family member will ensure that you catch them right before or right after they go on the carpet. Getting this cleaned up as soon as possible is in your best interest. For wet spots, make sure to blot the wetness, don’t rub. Use paper towels or clean towels to accomplish this task.

If you are dealing with a solid pile, make sure to pick up the chunks with a paper towel, and then you’ll want to use a special carpet spot cleaner for the stain. Talk to a BluCrew carpet cleaning professional to see what product they recommend to take care of this task. You should be able to use the spot cleaner on the wet area, as well.

Add Scotchguard to your Carpet

One of the best ways to deal with puppy stains is to add a stain repellent like Scotchgard to your carpet. Scotchgard helps to repel spills, blocks stains, and resists soiling.

It won’t stop them from going where they aren’t supposed to, but it can make clean up easier. Instead of the wetness immediately soaking into the fibers, they will pool on top. It’s still advised that you clean up the mess as soon as possible. The stain repellent will help, but the liquid will eventually soak into the carpet.

Use Puppy Pads

Constantly keeping an eye on your new dog can be challenging. Even turning away for a second gives them a moment to go on the carpet. To prevent stains, you might consider putting down some puppy pads. These can be found in a variety of retail stores and online.

Puppy pads have an absorbent top and plastic protector on the bottom. They are a better choice than newspapers because the wetness can cause the ink from the paper to run and stain your carpeting. Puppy pads will also reduce the odor that gets into your fibers and encourages the dog to keep going in the same place.
