Carpet Cure: Ways you can
remove pet odor from rug
R ug owners tell
us all the time,
“It doesn’t seem
to matter what
I do, if my dog is going
to pee on the floor then
he is going to choose my
favorite area rug. Why?”
Well, my response is that
there are many reasons for
this behavior. One reason
is that wool rugs are made
from sheep hair so the dog
walks by the rug and says
“Hey, what’s that sheep
doing in my house?” and
then proceeds to mark his
territory!
There are other motiva
tions too. Maybe the pet
is getting old and can’t
hold or control it as much.
Maybe the pet is overac
tive or gets too excited
when you finally get home
and you get what I call
“happy tinkle.” Maybe
he’s being territorial with
other animals or “sheep”
in the home. Or, maybe he
or she is just mad at you
because you have brought
someone or something else
into “their” home without
consulting them first!
Regardless of why it hap
pens, you need to know
what to do as you try to
prevent permanent damage
to your precious area rugs.
We have published numer
ous brochures, articles and
blog posts to help you with
spot cleaning and proper
care for your rugs. Today, I
want to help you with some
spot and spill procedures
and tell you how to ulti
mately enjoy a soft, clean,
fresh- smelling area rug.
When a spill or “accident”
occurs, you’ll want to safely
and immediately clean it
up before it sets in. If you
have a small Bissell type
extractor, use it to extract
as much as possible. If you
don’t have access to such a
machine then soak up the
excess liquid by blotting
with a clean absorbent
material. I recommend
having a few clean white
terry cloths around for this
purpose. Avoid colored
cloths. If you use a colored
cloth, you may end up
transferring dye from your
spotting towel into your
rug and causing an even
worse problem than you
currently have.
The #1 mistake we see
rug-owners make when
trying to clean a spot is
rubbing the stain. This will
distort the fibers and alter
the texture of your rug in
that area causing light to
reflect differently from
nowown....regardless of
whether or not you remove
the stain.
You should simply absorb
with the cloth using a
blotting technique, then
spot-clean with a mild
detergent-white vinegar-
water solution. Do not over
wet. Rinse the area thor
oughly with water and a
small amount of vinegar to
keep the Ph of the rug on
the acid side. Avoid wetting
the rug's backing. Blot dry
until most of the moisture
has been absorbed. Allow
to air dry. A fan or cool
hair dryer can be used to
hasten the drying process.
Place a white folded cloth
underneath the rug to
absorb any moisture that
wicks downward. For stains
that do not come out using
these methods, ask our
cleaning specialists.
This advice will help you
in your time of need but is
not a guaranteed solution
for every rug. Handmade
rugs are just that - Hand
Made. This means each is
unique in its construction
so always proceed with
caution. Some yarns such
as rayon, viscose, or jute
fibers DO NOT respond
well to pet accidents or
anything water-based for
that matter. In those cases,
use absorbent cloths to
draw the spill out of the rug
and call a professional.
