Special Tip for Pet Owners by CRI
Do you have a pet? Well, about 70 million U.S. households have pets. Dogs, especially have urine retention problems when they’re puppies, elderly, or sick. For these situations we recommend to purchase pet absorbent pads that can be purchased at any pet stores, instead of using newspaper. Also, sometimes when a new pet like a cat or dog is introduced into a home where another pet has been, they will mark their territory.
You can combat pet odors and stains in many ways:
1. Vacuum more frequently to capture pet hair and dust drifting from Fluffy’s fur.
2. Have your carpet professionally cleaned every 12 to 18 months, or more frequently( ex: 6-12 months)
3. Clean up new messes promptly
If you have caged pets , check pet-supply stores for scent killing products, which you can place near there cages. Plain old baking soda or clove oil on a cotton ball may mask the stench. Also place washable area rug under pet cages to help trap spilled food ,dust, and dirt from animals. Wash often.
If fleas should become a problem, keep in mind that your carpet is probably harboring eggs-keep up a regular vacuuming schedule! Check with your veterinarian for treatment options as well as tips for getting fleas out of household environment.
