As we all know new puppies can be a handful and chasing them around all day is impossible. So accidents happen! Unfortunately, once puppies or older dogs get used to peeing in the same spot it’s a hard habit to break! Even when they are puppy trained.
This strong urine smell is hard to gid rid of and it seems the only solution is to have your carpets professionally cleaned. Unfortunately just cleaning carpet does not solve the issue
Metro, offers a highly effective surface and deep penetrating pet urine treatment to solve this problem. We carry a range of high-quality, non-toxic safe products that can eliminate some of the worst odours and stains.
Here is a list of issues to remember when dealing with pet urine in carpet:
- Odour: One of the most common problems associated with pet urine contamination is the strong and persistent odour it produces. The odour can be unpleasant and difficult to eliminate, even with regular cleaning and deodorising efforts.
- Staining: Pet urine contains pigments and compounds that can cause discolouration and staining of the carpet fibres and underlay material. These stains can be challenging to remove, especially if they have been allowed to set in over time.
- Structural damage: Urine can seep through the carpet and penetrate the underlay, reaching the subfloor or even the flooring materials underneath. Over time, this can lead to structural damage, including warping, rotting, or weakening of the subfloor or flooring materials.
- Mould growth: The moisture from pet urine can create a favourable environment for mould growth, particularly if the contamination goes unnoticed or is not adequately cleaned and dried in time. Mould can cause negative health issues and further damage to the carpet, underlay, and structural areas.
- Health risks: The presence of pet urine in carpet and underlay can contribute to poor indoor air quality. The urine can release noxious gases, which can irritate the respiratory system and cause health problems, especially for individuals with asthma or allergies.
- Allergens and bacteria: Pet urine can introduce allergens and bacteria into the carpet and underlay. These can trigger allergic reactions or respiratory problems in sensitive individuals. Bacteria can also thrive in a moist environment, potentially leading to hygiene and health concerns from microbial growth.
- Attracting pests: The scent of pet urine can attract pests, such as parasites or rodents, to the contaminated area. These pests may further damage the carpet and underlay and cause additional health concerns for occupants in the surrounding environment.
