The Best Way to Remove Pet Stains from Carpets: A Clean Fresh UK Guide

Written by admin. Date of post: .

Uh oh! Did your furry friend have an accident on the carpet? Don’t panic! Pet stains happen, but that doesn’t mean you’re stuck with a permanent reminder. Here at Clean Fresh UK, we’ve been tackling pet stains in Manchester homes for over 20 years, and we’re here to share some of our top tips for getting your carpets clean and fresh again.

Speed is Key: The sooner you treat a pet stain, the easier it will be to remove it completely. Fresh stains are much less likely to set in and leave a permanent mark.

Blot, Don’t Rub! The first thing you want to do is remove as much of the mess as possible. Use a clean, absorbent cloth or paper towel to blot up the excess liquid. Resist the urge to rub! Rubbing can spread the stain and make it worse.

Natural Cleaning Power: For fresh stains, you might be surprised by what you already have on hand! Here are a few natural cleaning solutions you can try:

  • White Vinegar: Mix equal parts white vinegar and water in a spray bottle. Lightly spray the affected area and blot with a clean cloth. The vinegar will help to neutralize odours and remove some stains.

  • Baking Soda: Baking soda is a natural deodorizer and can also help to absorb lingering moisture. Sprinkle baking soda over the stain and let it sit for 30 minutes to an hour. Then, vacuum the powder thoroughly.

Enzyme Cleaners: For tougher stains or lingering odours, an enzymatic cleaner is your best bet. Enzymes break down organic matter, such as pet urine and feces, at the source, eliminating the stain and odour completely. Choose an enzyme cleaner specifically designed for pet stains and follow the instructions carefully.

Always Test First: Before applying any cleaning solution to your carpet, it’s important to test it in an inconspicuous area first. This will help you ensure that the solution doesn’t damage the colour or fibres of your carpet.

Still Struggling?

Sometimes, pet stains can be particularly stubborn, especially if they’ve been left untreated for a long time. If you’ve tried the above methods and the stain persists, don’t despair! The professional carpet cleaners at Clean Fresh UK have the experience and equipment to tackle even the toughest pet stains. We use safe and effective cleaning methods that will leave your carpets looking and smelling fresh again.
