Pet Care Treatments For Rugs
Understanding Pet Odors and Stains
Pet accidents can leave odors and discoloration that affect both the surface of the rug and the layers underneath. Even after drying, residues can remain in the fibers and padding, causing recurring smells or visible spots.
Why Odors Linger
When pets urinate on carpet, the liquid often penetrates below the fibers into the backing and pad. Once there, it can crystallize and remain trapped. Standard household cleaners work only on the surface and often cannot reach the source of the odor. This is why smells sometimes return even after cleaning.
Pet-related stains vary based on the animal, the frequency of accidents, and how long the spot has been present. Common examples include:
Fresh urine spots
Older or dried urine deposits
Feces or vomit stains
Repeat-marking or concentrated areas
Each type requires a different approach, and the correct method depends on the rug’s fiber type and construction.
