Press Release Summary: Pet stains are one of the most common problems home owners
have with their carpet, but unfortunately most people do not have a clue on how to
properly clean these bad smelling stains.

Press Release Body: Wake Forest, NC - The carpet cleaning experts of the Water
Damage Team have gathered a list of tips for cleaning pet stains from carpets to
help home owners deal with these unsightly stains.

"Pet stains are smelly, unattractive, and difficult to remove," notes David Beavers
of the Water Damage Team. "The only sure way to prevent a pet stain is to keep your
pet outside or get rid of them. Since we all love our pets and want to keep them,
we've put together these helpful tips to remove your pet stains indefinitely."

Act Fast
The sooner you begin clean up, the better with pet stains. Grab a towel and blot up
as much of the stain as possible when it happens or as soon as you discover it.

Find It
If it's an old pet stain, locate it easily with a black light. Urine stains glow
under a black light, making them easier to find.

Choose a Cleaner
There are all kinds of cleaners and solutions to get out pet stains. An easy
solution you can find in your home is just plain old laundry detergent. Put on a rag
and scrub at the area until it seems like its scrubbed out pretty well.

Take Care of the Odor
To further remove the stain and assure it won't leave a nasty smell, mix some warm
water and vinegar together (1 quart water, ½ cup vinegar) and trickle over stain,
covering completely.

Soak It Up
Place several clean towels over the area and press or walk over them so they're
absorbing as much of the liquid as possible.

Time It
Put a new towel or two over the stain and place a heavy object of some sort on top
of it. Leave for 3-6 hours to absorb the stain and liquid completely.

Primp
Use a soft brush to pull the carpet fibers back up to looking normal after all that
pressing.

Clean Up
Throw the dirty towels in the washing machine with some spray and wash, and you're
done!
