Pet Odor & Stain
Make “accidents” a distant memory!
Even the best-trained pets will occasionally have accidents. Often, urine or vomit is not discovered until long after an accident occurs. According to the Carpet and Rug Institute pet urine, left unattended, can damage carpet in several ways. Moisture can weaken the layers of the carpet, allowing separation or de-lamination of the backing material. Seam areas can be particularly damaged and can separate.
If caught early, our Q12 carpet cleaning system often neutralizes recent pet accidents. If urine has penetrated the carpet backing, QCare has specialized treatments that will neutralize odor-causing bacteria and minimize (and often eliminate) the appearance of stains.
Why does QCare have multiple treatments?
Just as no two pets are exactly alike, neither is their urine. Urine content will change over a pet’s life due to diet, medications, age, health, sex, and reproductive cycles. Differences in ph levels and chemistry can have different effects on carpet, making different treatments necessary.
Urine can affect the dyes used in carpet, although not all occurrences will result in a permanent stain. Success is dependent upon the content of the urine, the dyes and finish used, and the time elapsed after the deposit. Some urine spots may be immediately noticeable, while others may take weeks or months for a reaction. The dyes may change color immediately after contact with urine.
When urine spots develop slowly and are noticed after much time has elapsed, the dyes and carpet fibers may be permanently damaged. In beige carpet, blue dyes are attacked by pet urine, leaving behind the red and yellow dyes with a resulting stain appearing red, yellow, or orange.
Another problem, especially with cats, is odor.
Unless the cat urine can be completely removed, complete odor removal is unlikely. A number of products are available to combat odor, but may simply mask the odor, and, in times of high humidity, the odor may reappear. QCare uses enzymes and other solutions that effectively bond with the cat urine and allow it to be removed.
