Pet Urine & Poop Stains on Carpet: If you are one of the millions of homeowners that have a pet and love them then you know that they can leave stains on your carpet. The pet that we love is often allowed to go anywhere in our home. When they do that even the best trained pets can have an occasional accident. If you add having a pet that is new to the home the accidents can be more substantial. The problem that comes with pet stains is that they are hard to treat for one reason. Pet urine specifically has ammonia in it which soaks into the padding and backing and that causes odors to linger. You need to treat not only the stain that is left behind on the carpet but you need to neutralize the odor as well. You can do this by layering baking soda on the spot. This will help to soak up the liquid and prevent the odor from staying behind. Then use warm water and soap to clean the stain that may still be left behind. You can use a clean cloth to soak up the cleaning solution and the stain.
