Ah, the joys of being a pet owner-the unconditional love and joy our dear companions bring into our lives, the chaos at times, finding its mark on those beautiful North Shore carpets. Time for some carpet cleaning North Shore action. Let’s delve into the art of making those pet stains turn into merely parts of your memory lane. Continue?
Go get a towel-but not the guest towel!-and blot the stain light; do not keep scrubbing as though you were trying to remove the last smidgen of chocolate from a toddler’s face. This is amateur hour: scrubbing just serves to spread the stain around and makes it look like poor ol’ Max tried his paw at abstract.
Mix equal parts of water and white vinegar. It’s not exactly a secret formula, but it does the trick more often than not, like your grandmother’s soup recipe. Pour it onto the stain and let it be for about five minutes. Vinegar helps neutralize the ammonia in urine and works as a natural deodorizer.
For tougher stains-or in those instances when Fido’s contribution has been a trifle shy a little too long-add a pinch of baking soda. Sprinkle aplenty when the vinegar mixture has done its magic. You will get some fizz-the sign that a chemical reaction is well in progress, and that, my friend, is the sound of clean! Fancy an edge on the cleaning front? Enzyme cleaners will do just that. These usually contain enzymes that actually break down the proteins in pet spots. Science and cleanliness, all together at last.
And when everything else has failed, well, then it would no doubt be a good time to call in the cavalry-aka the professional cleaners. They know such carpets like the back of their hand and come armed with industrial cleaning prowess.
