How to Remove Pet Stains and Odors


Well! As we all know, the minute we turn our back, our pet realizes that the new carpet is just the right place to relieve itself.

Even after multiple cleaning attempts, it’s extremely hard to get rid of that smell & stain. In such a case, what could you possibly do?

Find out where it happened
  • Find out which areas are dirty.
  • Train your pet once again to avoid targeting those areas.
  • Outline the stained areas with a chalk.
  • Rinse the "stained area" thoroughly with clean, cool water. After rinsing, remove excess water by blotting.

As long as your pet can smell his own scent, he will continue to return to the "stained area." Even if you aren't able to smell traces of pet urine, your pet surely can.
Make the "stained area" uninviting and unavailable to your pet. Then use positive reinforcement techniques to show him the appropriate place to relieve himself. The re-training period may take a week or more. Remember, it took him time to build the bad habit, and it will take time to replace that habit with a new behavior. So treat your pet with patience and encourage him!

If you are still unable to clean your carpet thoroughly, feel free to call our experts at Classique ChemDry at 1800 213 006. Visit our website for more information - http://www.classiquechemdry.com.au/.

Ways to clean area and special type of rugs

If you need your surrounding to look the best then follow these simple guidelines for basic care, deep cleaning, stain removal and learn how to treat particular types of area rugs.

  • Vacuum large rugs to get rid of dirt. The best, way for larger area rugs is to vacuum them frequently. If a rug is reversible, vacuum both sides. This removes grit and grime that can wear out your rug impulsively. Do not vacuum the edge of your rug.
  • Sweep out pet hair. A vacuum sometimes leaves pet hair behind. Use a unbendable brush to remove the hair, comb-out in the direction of the nap of the rug.
  • Turn rugs annually. Foot traffic and sun sets extra stress on area rugs. Twirl them twice a year to level out the wear.
  • Shake tiny area rugs. If the rug is small enough, take it outside and shake it or beat it dynamically to eliminate dirt and grit. several areas have ordinances about shaking rugs in the open, check for restricted codes.

How to clean special type of rugs

Woven or braided rugs: Check rugs for edging breaks prior and after cleaning. Check labels to conclude whether small braided rugs are washable. If washable, then place them in a zippered pillowcase or mesh laundry bag. Wash with cold water on a gentle cycle, rinsing thoroughly. Tumble dry on a low setting. Place large braided rugs on a concrete floor or place an old blanket underneath. Sponge commercial carpet-cleaning foam over the plane and massage it accordingly. Finish by rinsing thoroughly and ensure its dry before replacing the rug on the floor.


Handmade, hand-knotted, historic, and Oriental rugs: Vacuum a new Oriental rug as you would do carpet and wool area rugs. Use special care for fragile antique rugs. Guard them by placing a piece of nylon screen over the rug and weighting it down with books or bricks. Vacuum over the screen. Or, tie a piece of nylon mesh over the vacuum attachment and replace the mesh regularly as dirt accumulates. Ensure that rugs are professionally cleaned at least once in a year. Rotate rugs to ensure even wear; direct exposure to sun will cause fading.

Coir, sisal and grass rugs: Rugs which are made from these natural fibers attribute an open weave that allows dirt to sift through to the floor beneath. Many of these rugs are reversible; if so, flip every time you vacuum for even wear. To sanitize stains or discolorations on a room-size natural-fiber rug, leave it in place. Guard the floor underneath with a plastic drop cloth and towel. Rub the stains with a soft brush dabbed in soapy water. Rinse with clear water. Place a towel over the wet area. Blot the cleaned spot pet dry. Use a moveable fan or hair dryer to speed drying. Move small rugs to a confined table or counter to clean. Water spoils the fibers, so work quickly and dry thoroughly to extend the life of these rugs. Some natural-fiber rugs are constructed in squares that are sewn together. Buy a little extra squares. If a rug square becomes permanently stained, clip the threads that hold it in place and swap with a new square. Hand-stitch it with heavy-duty carpet thread



Fur, sheepskin, and hair-on hides: Sprinkle unscented talcum powder on fur, sheepskin, and hair-on hide rugs and leave for some hours. Brush the talcum powder through the hair, then shake it out. Repeat this process continuously, depending on the length of the fur. To clean the back of such a rug, use a clean cotton cloth dabbed in lukewarm soapy water. Wipe off the dirt and rinse with a cloth dipped in clean water and allow it to dry completely before placing back in place.

How to react when carpet is damaged with water??

No one has control over natural water-related disasters. But one can take all the anticipatory measures to minimize and avoid consequence on your carpet. As soon as you observe a dampness on a carpet, you must call a water damage service corporation. They will immediately come out for an inspection, and will most likely recommend you to remove bits and pieces or any substances from the carpet or anything that is stored under your bed and move them to a dry and secure place. They will perhaps recommend to remove any light pieces of furniture.


They will take out eminence water, and then embark on the ventilation and drying processes. Ventilating the locality with fans and dehumidifiers particularly-designed to take care of areas exposed to water. The fans accelerate the drying process and curtail the drying time, while the dehumidifiers work to help dry the microenvironment. Do not wait just call immediately as time is essential in the case of carpet water damage, because mold, fungus and bacteria can begin to grow after twelve hours.

What you should do when carpet is damaged with water:
  • Straight away end the water flow causing the harm.
  • Take out any books, magazines or other personal belongings and shift to a dry area.
  • Get rid of any rugs, throw pillows and light furniture.
  • Get in touch with a water damage service corporation.
  • Have a word with your insurance company as it may wrap the damage.

Things you should avoid doing when carpet is damaged with water:

If your carpet, tile or wooden floor is damaged with water please do not:
  • Avoid using any electrical appliances such as televisions, toaster ovens or hair dryers.
  • Eliminate walking on the carpet as much as possible, as bacteria from the base of your shoes can cooperate with the water and generate a microenvironment for bacteria to grow.
