Do Pet Stain
Removers Work Or Are You Being Taken To The Cleaners
Pet stains on carpet and other
types of flooring can be nasty to get rid of and even nastier
if you don't. How do I know? I sell pet stain remover but I
always tell people the truth about the products they are
buying. Many web sites on the internet give a 100% money back
guarantee on pet stain removers but how can they possibly
guarantee a product when they haven’t even seen the mess that
the product has to clean up. From my experience with amazing
internet cleaning chemicals including pet stain removers is
that they usually don't work. Most pet stain remover websites
bank on the fact that you either won't take the time to return
the product or you'll give up on your pet stain problem and
have a professional come in to finish the job. The truth about
pet removal products is they sometimes work and they sometimes
don't it all depends on the surface that your cleaning up and
how bad the damage really is. At least once a day I email a
customer back and tell them they need a professional (in some
cases a demolition crew) to come in and first take a look at
the actual problem and then decide if they can accomplish the
task.
There are two different types of pet stain removers, volatile
chemicals (chemicals that react with certain compounds) and
enzyme products. Chemical products work by changing the
chemical make up of urine. This is all great except for the
fact that you’re using a chemical on your flooring or carpet
and chances are you’re not going to get all the chemical out.
These chemicals can remain in the dye pores and fibers of your
carpets for many years or until the carpet is replaced.
Enzymes work by eating the urine on the floor and then turn
anaerobic and die. It seems really gross but you can't see it
happening and enzymes are a part of nature unlike man made
chemicals.
In my experience I have dealt with both types of concoctions
and feel that enzymes do the best job. Enzymes smell better
and won't harm your carpets and are more environmental and
people friendly. When using either of these methods there is
one truth that holds true and this is where the "sometimes
they work and sometimes they don't" statement comes in. If the
enzyme or chemical does not come in contact with the pet urine
it will not work. If you’re pet stain problem is to the point
that the wood or cement underneath the carpet has been
saturated for an extended period of time it's time to call a
construction crew. Your sub floors will have to be replaced
and cement has to be sealed, this is the only way to get rid
of cat urine odors once this much damage has been done. For
some of my customers that I talk to it just seems like having
flooring removed or cement sealed is too hard to swallow and
there just has to be an easier and cheaper way to solve the
problem. The truth is that once cat urine as seeped into a
porous substance like wood or cement nothing can remove or
neutralize it. When it gets damp or humid that smell will
always come back and in some cases get worse over time.
For infrequent pet stains or pet accidents pet stain removers
can work extremely well. These products can easily neutralize
and eliminate pet stains on a carpets surface or already
sealed flooring. Don't be fooled by amazing products and 100%
guarantees because if they haven’t seen the problem the
product is going to tackle they might be doing a good job at
removing your money from your wallet and not the pet stain
from your floor.
