How to remove urine stains from carpet?
What is urine made up of? Urine contains 91 – 96% of
water, an assortment of inorganic salts and organic compounds, including
proteins, hormones and a wide range of metabolites. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Urine)
Accidents happen at home unexpectedly. It can be a
nuisance when your toddler, pet dogs or cats urinate on your favorite sofa,
mattress or carpet. Here’s some tip on how to remove urine stains from your
carpet, sofa or mattress.
Before you decide to engage professional for help, you
can try the self-help stain removal steps below:
1. Act fast, the longer the
urine stain stays in your carpet or sofa; the harder it is to remove it.
2. Use a cloth to blot the
affected area to reduce or remove the urine. Do not scrub, gently blot.
3. Dilute a small amount of
detergent and vinegar with water and wet a clean white cloth with this mixture.
4. Blot directly to this urine
stain spot repeatedly and wet the cloth when necessary. (This step should
remove most of the stain).
5. Use a dry cloth to blot the
affected area, this step will remove the solution together with the urine
stain.
6. If step 5 cannot fully
remove the stains, try using a few drops of undiluted hydrogen peroxide and
ammonia on the affected spots directly.
7. Repeat step 5 until both the
hydrogen peroxide and ammonia are removed from the affected area.
8. Use a slightly wet cloth to clean
treated spot till the chemicals are removed from your carpet.
