Cleaning Up Pet Messes

It's easy to pick up the visible messes that pets leave behind. What to do about the invisible mess? Pet urine stains may look invisible, but the odor can be strong and unpleasant, permeating carpet and padding. You may find the stains by shining a UV black light on them. One can buy solutions that may remove odors, but never use an ammonia based cleaner, as it will attract Fido back to the spot as surely as if you hadn't bothered cleaning. To thoroughly remove bacteria, mildew, and odors, professional carpet cleaning, using commercial machinery and solutions, may be required.
