Pet accidents penetrate deep into the carpet. We think we clean thoroughly, but we only clean the surface. In another day or two the unsightly stain works its way back to the top of the carpet. This is called wicking, and it’s very frustrating, for with the stain comes the odor.

Upholstered furniture gives any room a soft, comfortable feel. There’s something about an upholstered couch or comfy chair that makes it easy to relax, but sometimes we get so comfortable we get careless. We end up spilling food and drinks and staining the upholstery. Accidents with pets and young kids happen as well. While these accidents are sometimes unavoidable, the results can be devastating, especially if you wait too long to act.

Anyone who owns a cat knows these furry creatures are loyal and loving. Because they’re self sufficient, they’re the perfect pet for the family who likes to get away for a week-long or weekend trip. However, self-sufficiency doesn’t keep a carpet clean. If not handled promptly, pet stains and smells can permeate your home.
