Even the best trained pets can still have accidents! When you think of SERVPRO of Beachwood and Cleveland Northeast, you probably know that we are experts when it comes to fire and water damage. But did you know that we can also help with less catastrophic messes, like the kinds your pet leaves behind?

That’s right, we can help with carpet cleaning and deodorization. We’re experts at odor removal and have been trained to identify and eliminate offensive odors that come from inside and outside your University Heights home.

Maybe you have a pet odor cleaning job that doesn’t rise to the level of needing professional help. SERVPRO of Beachwood and Cleveland Northeast has you covered in that case, too. Here are a couple of easy, inexpensive solutions for pet stains and odors that only require a few products you probably already have in your Richmond Heights home.

For urine stains that are still wet, blot the excess dampness with paper towels – the sooner after the mess is made, the better. Once you’ve absorbed as much excess as you can, mix a solution of 2 cups vinegar, 2 cups warm water and 4 tablespoons of baking soda. Use a spray bottle to spray directly onto the stain. Let it sit for five or ten minutes and then use more paper towels to dry.

You can use the baking soda and vinegar method with heavier or older stains, too. Instead of lightly spraying, you’ll first want to pour just enough vinegar to soak the stain directly onto the carpet, followed by a small amount of baking soda. Make sure you apply vinegar first, then baking soda. Cover the area with a bowl (to prevent your pet from walking in it or ingesting it), and let it sit and dry completely for a day. Uncover, vacuum, and your pet’s bad stain should just a distant memory. Clink this link for more information and a how-to video.
