Does Carpet Cleaning Remove Pet Stains?

Many pet stains can be treated, particularly when addressed promptly, but some urine deposits can permanently alter carpet dyes or damage backing. The Carpet and Rug Institute (CRI) notes that results depend on the urine, dyes, carpet treatments and elapsed time.

Fresh vs. old accidents

Fresh accidents blotted quickly usually respond well. Old accidents have had time to react with dyes.

Urine discoloration

Urine can change carpet color over time. That color change is permanent.

Padding contamination

Large accidents can soak into the pad, which may need treatment.

Odor treatment

Odor comes from remaining urine, so treatment focuses on reaching the source.

When damage is permanent

Dye loss and damaged backing cannot be cleaned away. We will tell you honestly.
