So you just got a cute puppy for your son and he isn’t potty trained yet. Now you have this cute little fur ball leaking all over the place. Your husband is going crazy because Fluffy is now wetting all over his lovely carpet. Now the dance begins with potty training and cleaning. I can’t help you much with the potty training part but I can help you on getting your carpet and other flooring cleaned up. If you have concrete floors or tile and grout the first thing you should have done in this case is sealing. Have the concrete sealed so the urine can’t penetrate it. This will keep the current stench beneath the surface and keep the new potty puddles from sinking into the concrete. It’s the same with tile and grout. Get those porous surfaces sealed up so they don’t absorb any more urine than they already have. Now carpet isn’t so easy. I see it at least twice a week where someone thought it would be a great idea to pick up after their pets with a Bissell spot remover. Sure they got sold on the idea of it. Then once the reality sets in and everyone realizes that the production is lacking behind the idea and it takes a lot of work people start picking up the phone looking for the professionals. My suggestion if you have more than a few small urine areas on carpet: call a professional. A professional carpet cleaner should approach it somewhere along the lines of what I am about to describe. Im going to break down urine treatment on carpet cleaning so you know what to look for when you want the real urine treatment. First off a professional will come in with 2 tools, a black light (or ultraviolet light) and a moisture sensor tool. These two tools help identify what is urine and what is not. The black light will show urine areas not visible under regular lighting. The moisture sensor will signal if it’s a urine area. Now some things may show under a black light and not be urine, we know this because urine will remain oily and months after the incident will still set off the moisture sensor. Things like white wine that may show under UV lighting would not set off a moisture sensor a month after the incident. The cleaner (or you trying to follow this guidance) has identified the actual urine areas and can determine what treatment is proper for the situation. There are 3 different levels for urine treatment. The first is light damage which can be treated with urine chemicals and proper extraction. The second level is when the urine stinks really band and though it has been flushed from the carpet and area it still smells funny. This will require urine treatment as mentioned above followed with an odor eliminator. The third and worst is when the urine area is so bad that the sub flooring, pad, tack strips, baseboards, and even furniture are now victims of urine. This is the third level and now your flooring needs replacement and cleaning. Wood and porous surfaces that have not been sealed will absorb the urine and never let it go. They will absorb it and create a new BAD air freshener. Carpet tack strips are wood, the concrete beneath your carpet and padding is porous, and your furniture may be in the same field. Having your floor beneath sealed, padding replaced, tack strips replaced, and carpet treated for urine would be the selection for level three urine contamination. Let’s hope this isn’t where you are and keep those people carpet cleaning League City employed. They will have the proper tools and solutions for your situation. Good luck.
