Removing the Urine & Odor From Your Carpets
Urine & Odor Removal Myrtle Beach
Pet urine damage in Myrtle Beach, and everywhere else, can cause permanent staining to your floors and fabrics. It can also create an un-healthy indoor air environment. As urine is first deposited onto the flooring or a fabric, it has a pH level of about 5 or 6, means it is on the acid side of the pH Scale. It is easier to remove right when it has been deposited onto the floor. Once dry, the urine turns “alkaline”, meaning the PH level has know change to a high pH between 10 to12 on the scale and know becoming more difficult to remove. When in the acid state the urine offers a perfect breeding ground for bacteria, which begin to travel into the air almost immediately. In the original acid state the urine begins to oxidize and react with the carpeting therefore creating a possible color change, which could become permanent if the urine is not removed immediately.
Some of this color change can be attributed to the strong ammonia that forms as the urine passes through bacterial and chemical change. If left for days or weeks, depending on the fabric or floor type, it will change the dye structure, therefore causing permanent staining. In some cases, even if the urine deposits have been removed, the damage to the dye structure could already have done its harm.
There are two sources of odors associated with urine. The 1st comes from a bacteria that grows heavily in dark warm places with a never-ending food source. A pet can feed the bacteria by returning to the area daily! As the bacteria begins to grow and breakdown, the salts in the urine creates amino acids. These complex compounds will often work deep into the carpet fibers to a point of becoming a permanent part of the fiber. This may present a challenging situation. These urine salts begin decomposing create an un-pleasant odor in the home. Once the dried urine is remoistened, it gives off an ammonia gas. Once smelled it is seldom forgotten.
The 2nd odor source is chemical odor, this odor is present even when the bacteria from the urine has been killed. This explains why more than sanitizing is necessary to when neutralizing odors from your carpeting. Urine also presents additional odor problems when the relative humidity is high. The salts and crystals that are left behind as the urine dries are hydrophilic and draw water to them. Dried up urine is often easy to smell in the humid months do to the urine salts attract moisture, as the he moisture evaporates it puts off a greater proportion of odorous ammonia gas. You must get rid of the urine in and under the carpet to get rid of the odor. That’s why cleaning alone WILL NOT completely remove odor. In fact, its possible to INCREASE the odor in the air for a temporary period of time.

The Best Cleaning Agents For Urine
Enzymes are the best cleaning agent for urine, vomit and feces. An enzyme is the only cleaning agent that actually eats up the bad bacteria. For the best results use an enzyme spotter after you have rinsed the carpet, especially if the spot is not a fresh one. We recommend Nature’s Miracle, which can be purchased at any local pet store. Always read the directions before use!
Products to Avoid
Try an stay away from products with high pH such as ammonia, Resolve and oxygen bleaches. These products will leave the carpet with a residue and in a high pH state, which will enable the carpet to attract dirt like a magnet. In some instances the use of the wrong product can cause the urine stain to be permanent. Please call Thuro Clean Carpet & Upholstery first if you are not sure about a product you may want to try.
