Cleaning pet stains and removing odours from carpets and upholstery

Cleaning pet stains and removing odours from carpets and upholstery

Graeme Todd |

Carpets and upholstery can add a cozy feel to your home, but they can also be a magnet for stains and odors, especially if you have pets. Whether it’s muddy paw prints, spilled drinks, or the dreaded dog and cat pee stains, keeping your carpets clean can seem like an uphill battle. Fortunately, TRIPLE-S is here to help. This guide will walk you through how to effectively use TRIPLE-S to tackle those stubborn stains and lingering pet odors.

Why Choose TRIPLE-S?

TRIPLE-S is specifically formulated to handle tough stains and odors. It’s not just a surface cleaner; it penetrates deep into carpet fibers and upholstery fabric to break down and eliminate stains and odors at their source. Unlike some cleaners that merely mask smells, TRIPLE-S offers a long-lasting solution to keep your home fresh and clean.

How to Use TRIPLE-S for Carpet Stains

Step 1: Preparation

Before you start cleaning, gather all the necessary materials. You’ll need:

  • TRIPLE-S cleaner
  • Clean cloths or paper towels
  • A vacuum cleaner
  • A soft-bristle brush (optional)

Step 2: Blot the Stain

If the stain is fresh, start by blotting up as much of the liquid as possible using a clean cloth or paper towel. Do not rub the stain; this can push it deeper into the carpet fibers.

Step 3: Apply TRIPLE-S

Spray TRIPLE-S directly onto the stained area. Make sure to cover the entire stain, but don’t oversaturate the carpet. Allow the cleaner to sit for about 5-10 minutes to break down the stain.

Step 4: Blot Again

After letting TRIPLE-S sit, blot the area again with a clean cloth or paper towel. You should start to see the stain lifting off the carpet.

Step 5: Rinse and Dry

Dampen a clean cloth with water and blot the area to remove any remaining cleaner. Then, use a dry cloth to blot up any remaining moisture. If possible, use a fan or open windows to help the carpet dry faster.

How to Use TRIPLE-S for Pet Stains and Odors

Step 1: Locate the Stain

Pet stains can sometimes be hard to find, especially if they’ve dried. Use your nose or a black light to locate old stains.

Step 2: Blot Fresh Stains

For fresh pet stains, blot up as much of the liquid as possible. This will help reduce the amount of cleaner needed and make the process more effective.

Step 3: Apply TRIPLE-S

Spray TRIPLE-S generously on the stained area. For old stains, you might need to use a bit more product and let it sit for a longer time, about 15-20 minutes.

Step 4: Scrub if Necessary

For stubborn stains, you might need to use a soft-bristle brush to gently scrub the area. This will help the cleaner penetrate deeper into the fibers.

Step 5: Blot and Rinse

Blot the area with a clean, damp cloth to remove any remaining cleaner. Then, use a dry cloth to blot up any remaining moisture. Repeat the process if necessary until the stain and odor are completely gone.

Step 6: Deodorize

To ensure that the smell is entirely gone, you can do a final spray of TRIPLE-S and let it air dry. This will help neutralize any remaining odors.

Tips for Preventing Future Stains and Odors

Regular Cleaning

Regular vacuuming can help prevent dirt and grime from building up in your carpets. Aim to vacuum at least once a week, and more often if you have pets.

Immediate Action

The sooner you clean up a spill or pet accident, the easier it will be to remove the stain and odor. Keep TRIPLE-S handy so you can tackle stains as soon as they happen.

Use Pet-Friendly Products

If you have pets, make sure to use cleaning products that are safe for them. TRIPLE-S is non-toxic and safe for use around pets and children.

Professional Cleaning

Consider having your carpets professionally cleaned at least once a year. Professional cleaners have specialized equipment that can remove deeply embedded dirt and grime.
