So it might have happened. Your son spilled that Dark Ben & Jerry’s Chocolate Ice Cream on the floors or in a hurry you accidentally jumped up to answer your phone and spilled that red polish directly from your lap onto that cream-colored carpet.

However, the accident happens when it comes time to finding the correct professional to clean your carpets.

#1 Make sure you are using an IICRC Company. The IICRC is a national certification that shows the company or technician has gone through National Training Standards for proper stain removal.  This protects you from several of the bad actors out there that tend to charge more and a large majority of the time do not even end up resolving the issue at hand. An improperly trained technician can damage the fibers of your carpet piling and not completely remove the stain.

#2 Reviews are important. Hiring a Carpet Cleaner with less than 4 stars good be trouble. Save your self-time and money by doing a little quick research online and making sure you hire a provider who is actually providing.

#3 Pricing that seems to low usually is and can result in getting a quick treatment on a heavy stain that could reappear (commonly known as wicking) the next day. If the price seems too good to be true, it probably is and you may encounter a person in your home using high-pressure sales techniques to “jack-up” the price.

These are a few quick tips to help you find the right cleaner.

We love our furry family members more than anything. If you have a puppy or dog, pet urine accidents are going to happen on your carpets. Sometimes our furry friends get excited or nervous and have an accident or our older aging fur babies might have accidents from lack of control as they age

At the end of the day, when those accidents happen here are a few tips to help stop and prevent and react t pet urine odors and stains.

1. When it happens, let them finish. Yes I know this sounds a little crazy, but speaking up is only going to make them move around during the accident making the clean-up more spread out and harder to control.  So just let it happen when it does.

2. Avoid eye contact with young dogs when you get home or are meeting other dogs. This will make them less likely to pee.

3. When an accident happens, get right on pre-cleaning. DO NOT USE over the counter remedies. Natural remedies such as warm water and vinegar or good soap are important. Get the spot saturated and use several dry towels to pat the area dry. Using chemicals such as Resolve or other instant cleaners can have an adverse effect and lock the urine stains into your fibers or cause color clause from damaging the fibers. A few treatments with the same process helps.

4. Call, text, or email Clean Floors Carpet Cleaning to come in with an Odor Enzyme Treatment and extraction with hot steam. With our UV Light we can identify other spots and after a good dwell time and treatment remove the dog stain and odors.
