Pet Urine

One of the most challenging contaminants to remove from carpet is pet urine. When the urine is first discharged from the pet it is acidic and over time the urine becomes alkaline. When removing an acidic contaminant from carpet an alkaline cleaner is appropriate and when removing alkaline soil a more acid cleaner is needed. This is why diluted vinegar is often recommended as a home remedy for removing pet urine (since it becomes alkaline). As professional carpet cleaners we use acidic cleaners and specialized enzymes as well as molecular modifiers to aid in the removal of this most undesirable substance.
