As any dog owner knows it is no fun removing dog urine from your carpets-yuck! But as dog owners ourselves, we have had a lot of practice at making our carpets smell fresh and clean even if your dog has peed on your carpet many times!

To remove any kind of urine (dogs, cats or kids!) you must first remove the urine from the carpet with paper towels.  Stand on the paper towels to absorb as much of the urine as possible.  Repeat as needed until paper towels have absorbed as much as possible.  Mix a mixture of White Vinegar and water 50/50 or Hydrogen Peroxide and clear Ammonia 50/50.  Either one of these mixtures can be poured on urine stain and remove excess liquid with paper towels.  Apply mixture again, lay folded towel on spot with a heavy weight.  Allow to dry for 24hrs.  Of course we are always here to help!

I found myself explaining to one of Clene Start’s customers the other day, just why it is that her pets ‘use’ her fine wool rugs.  It isn’t that her pets don’t understand the cost of her New Zealand hand crafted wool rug—it’s that pets are naturally drawn to the smell of wool.  Dogs really love the smell of wool!  They are especially attracted to the wool after cleaning because while it’s damp it may stink to us humans, (wet wool can smell like a wet dog) but to a dog this ‘wet dog’ smell is divine.  It activates our furry friends’ natural instinct to roll on them ensuring that their scent is left as well.  It’s these strong natural smells of wool rugs that also attract pets to pee on them.  (It just seems like they would rather pee on the fine Persian rug than the cheap throw rug!)  Just as we (our pets’ people) love the feel of wool under our feet—or the feel of rubbing our hands over a fine wool rug—our pets thank us for this wonderful experience as well.

And by the way—all those pet ‘accidents’ can be eliminated.  Let Clene Start give your fine oriental and wool rugs a clean start.

How to Remove dog vomit from your carpets and rugs.Of course, it is very unfortunate when your dog – or a child, or anyone for that matter – vomits on your carpet. Especially when you have visitors coming over!

The smell of vomit usually makes us want to vomit too, so removing it from your carpets in your home or office becomes very important! But don’t worry, because over here at Clene Start Carpet Cleaning we are vomit stain and smell removal experts!

When your dog or child has a vomit accident, follow these steps. Remove any solids (not a very nice job – we understand!). Then use paper towels to blot up any liquids. Then mix Peroxide & Clear Ammonia 50/50, pour directly onto the vomit stain, and then soak up as much of the liquid and stain as possible. Apply the mixed solution generously and then put down a thick layer of folded towels with a heavy weight. Allow to dry for 24hrs.

A client of ours had the misfortune of having a boxer dog who had gotten into a tangle with barbed wire.  The dog was fine after a trip to her vet, but the clients carpets had blood stains on them and she contacted us in a panic.  Here is what we shared with her as an emergency measure until we could get to her house to clean her carpets.

To remove a blood stain from your carpet, start by using paper towels to blot up as much of the blood as possible.

Next, pour hydrogen peroxide on the blood stain, and then use paper towels to absorb.  Repeat as necessary until the blood is removed from the carpet.

Then pour a small amount of cold water on the spot,  lay a thick towel on the water, and set a heavy weight on the towel.  Allow to dry completely.
