How to get Pet Urine out of Area Rug

So its been a long day at work and you come home to find the unpleasant smell of urine in your area rug.  This rug is an investment, you have purchased it for many hundreds of dollars and rightly so, you are ANGRY!  What is going to happen to this rug?  Is it trash?  Can it be saved?

Looking at your pets...they are pointing the paw at each other...no one taking the blame!

Here is the 411 on Pet Urine.

It is sticky because of the urine salts.

Its smelly.

It can be cleaned by a professional company but an enzyme must be used on it to open the sticky urine salts and extract them out of the rug.

Thoughts you may be having?
I can go to the pet store and buy an enzyme product and clean it myself?

This sounds all well and good...but area rugs are specialized products.  They have complex dye structures and many made out of wool.  Wool, for example is a natural fiber, which once wet will smell like a wet dog.  Now you have a wet dog smell with your urine smell.  Also, rugs have glue on the backing.  Some glues breakdown and degrade when exposed to water.  Many chances for things to go wrong.

It is best to let the professionals that are certified handle this type of job if you want to protect your investment.  When calling a professional AREA RUG cleaning company, ask if they are certified in area rug cleaning.  Yes, they need to be!

1.) The rug is inspected for damage, stains, wear and dye stability.  The customer is contacted with detailed information on the rug, how it will be cleaned and the cost.

Therefore, the colors can bleed into each other during the cleaning process. If you have pet contamination, its best to have the rug cleaned sooner than later. The longer the urine remains on the area rug, the harder the cleaning process will be with a guaranteed odor and stain removal. At Carpet Cleaning Atlanta, by Magic Carpet we are certified trained professionals. We will do our best to achieve 100% satisfactory results removing the pet contamination from your wool area rug.
