1. Blot, Don't Rub:
As soon as you notice a pet stain, blot it with a clean, dry cloth or paper towels. Avoid rubbing the stain, as this can push it deeper into the carpet fibers, making it more challenging to remove.
2. Prepare a Cleaning Solution:
Mix a solution of equal parts water and white vinegar or use a commercial pet stain remover. Test the solution on an inconspicuous area of your carpet to ensure it won't cause any discoloration or damage.
3. Apply the Solution:
Gently apply the cleaning solution to the stain, starting from the outer edges and working your way toward the center. Blot the area with a clean cloth to absorb the stain and cleaning solution. Repeat this process until the stain is gone.
4. Rinse and Dry:
Rinse the cleaned area with clean water and blot it dry with a clean, dry cloth or paper towels. Ensure that the carpet is completely dry to prevent mold and mildew growth.
