Urine Damage Treatment

Pet urine can cause permanent damage to your floors and fabrics. It can also create an unhealthy indoor environment. 

Products to Avoid
Try to 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.
