Pet Odors Are More Than a Surface Problem

A pet stain on your rug can certainly detract from its beauty, but the problems go far beneath the surface. The enzymes and other components of pet urine have the potential to break down the fibers in your rug. This not only leads to structural damage, but it can also diminish the vibrant colors that make your rug so beautiful. When combined with the lingering smell of pet urine, it’s easy to see why you need specialized rug cleaning for pet stains.

Crystallization – Why Pet Urine Comes Back When Moisture Is Introduced

When pets repeatedly return to the same spot after an accident, it’s often because of a chemical process called crystallization. This is why pet odors seem to come back once moisture is introduced. When your pet urinates on your rug, the liquid portion evaporates, but the mineral salts and uric acid in the urine stay behind. When the area gets damp again, your pet will again get attracted to the spot where it urinated.

The Behavioral Side of Pet Accidents

No matter how much time and money you invest in training your pet, the fact remains that certain animal behaviors are virtually impossible to overcome. For instance, pets use urine as a method of marking an area, which is a way to establish their dominance over would-be predators and other animals.
 
Stress, anxiety, changes in household dynamics, or disruptions to a pet’s schedule can also increase the likelihood of accidents, even in well-trained animals. Pets also return to the same place to use the bathroom because it feels safe and familiar. This is why it’s so important to fully eliminate the stain and the underlying minerals that get soaked into your rug.

Why Professional Pet Odor Treatment Is Different

Professional pet odor treatment goes far beyond removing an unsightly stain. Here at Aegis, we use a proven method that cleans the internal fibers and backing of your rug. This ensures that the enzymes left behind are removed, fully eliminating the pet odor. Not only does this process keep your home looking and smelling great, but it also prevents your pet from making that spot its new go-to.
