Pet Problems, Hard to Clean Carpet Stains, And Services You Should Call

Everyone loves having fresh, and clean carpets all the time, but keeping them pristine is a challenge for homemakers.  Life just happens and when it lands on your floors, many times it leaves a stain. 

Pets

Did you know that carpeting can hold four times its weight in dirt? Unfortunately, dirt isn’t the only thing our pets can track into the house. While dirt and grime can be visible on our carpeting and rugs, allergens and bacteria are invisible.   

Common allergens such as pollen and dust can get trapped in carpet, causing allergic reactions to occur. Carpets with long fibers, such as shag rugs, can harbor more irritants than low-pile carpets do.

Fecal matter and its associated germs like E.coli can get into our homes onto our rugs on pets’ paws and our shoes. Pets choose a spot to vomit– sometimes right in the middle of the room, sometimes hidden in a corner. The caustic stomach acids can also stain and damage carpet fibers. Plus pet stains often have a strong odor that can be neutralized with the correct cleaning products. 

Grass and Mud

Pets and kids can track grass clippings, dirt and mud onto your carpeting and rugs.  Dirt can be a pain to remove from your carpets, but it’s even worse when wet. Mud, because of it’s sometimes liquid properties, can reach further depths in your carpet than dry dirt alone, making it even harder to remove from carpets. Once mud and grass stains settle on carpet fibers, the abrasive properties can tear and cut the carpet fibers, wearing them down. 

Whether it’s Springfield’s wintery slush or spring mud, this mix can get deeply embedded. It’s a good idea to have your carpeting and rugs cleaned professionally every six months– more often depending on the soil type of your yard.
