How to get cat urine out of the carpet
/Dealing with cat urine in the carpet sometimes you have to pull back the carpet and clean and treat both sides of the carpet. On this job the pad has a moisture barrier but other times you have to replace the pad and seal the subfloor. First we treated both sides of the carpet , the tackboard and the top of the pad. Then we let the product set for a while and work. It is important to put plastic down under the carpet to keep the urine from spreading. Then we cleaned both sides of the carpet and wiped down the top of the pad and the bottom of the base board. We also used a water claw to clean the carpet right through the carpet fibers and the backing of the carpet. When the pet stain and the odor was gone we put the carpet back down and clean the top of the carpet again and set up an airmover and left it over night to dry. Flushing out the urine salts and killing the bacteria is what needs to be done .The urine salts keeps the carpet wet for months allowing the bacteria to grow. The urine in the carpet is the food source for the bacteria and the urine salts holds the moisture that the bacteria needs to grow. The urine salts and the bacturia put off an off gas and that is was the foul odor is in the carpet.
