PET EDITION

OH NO!

Spot had an accident on the carpet again – if you’re a pet owner, you know the feeling. So you spray some rug cleaner, dab it with some paper towels, and you’re done, right?

WRONG!

What you probably don’t know is that, while your store-bought magic rug cleaner might remove some of the surface-level stain, the urine penetrates much deeper than that. It will soak through the carpet, carpet backing, and all the way down to the subfloor where it pancakes out to an area up to 2 feet in diameter or more, depending on the amount of urine.

Why don’t we lift up the carpet to see what it looks like underneath?

Flip over to see what’s under the carpet!

GROSS!

What is all this stuff? Let’s take a closer look…

ODORS

The immediate effect of pet urine is the odor. Different pets have different odors, but none of it is good. After it’s been in your carpet for a while you may not notice the smell anymore, but your guests certainly will. How embarrassing!

SALT CRYSTALS

When pet urine soaks into the carpet and dries up, it leaves acidic salt crystals in the carpet backing and subfloor. All it takes is a little moisture or humidity and these crystals reactivate, bringing along with them that familiar unpleasant odor!

BACTERIA

Salt crystals aren’t the only thing hiding in your pet’s urine – there can also be harmful bacteria. These can contribute to odor problems, as well as health issues from inhaling them.
