, we recognize the importance and significance of owning a pet and treating them as part of the family. However, when these pets shed, drool, roll around, track in dirt, and perhaps have an accident or two, your carpets may not appreciate them. With our
expert carpet cleaning team
at ServiceMaster Restoration by Simons in Chicago, IL, we can help you settle on a happy medium, making your carpets clean and your pets happy.
Pets leave behind a multitude of hair, dander and bodily fluids while running through your home. One of the worst stains that pets can leave behind is urine. Depending on the color of your carpet, these stains can sometimes blend in and go unnoticeable for days or sometimes weeks. Urine can leave a horrible smell on your carpet, and if not treated properly, can stick around a lot longer than you and your guests would like. Pets can also leave other kinds of stains, including vomit.
The best home remedy for these stains is a baking soda and vinegar solution that will help lift the stains and remove the odor. When you’ve done what you can to remove pet stains in your home but to no avail, calling a professional is the best option.
With ServiceMaster Restoration by Simons, you can be assured that we are working as best we can to protect your investment. After inspecting the area, our team will determine how to move forward, including pre-treating those pesky pet stains. A deep, thorough rinse with the most effective cleaning solutions will get all the odors, stains and pet dander out of your carpets.
Pets and carpets can live in harmony thanks to ServiceMaster Restoration by Simons’ carpet cleaning team in Chicago, IL.
