Sometimes finding  pet stains are almost as hard as removing them.  You can smell the pet odor in the air but you just can't seem to find the stain.  Over time stains can fade but the pet fecal or urine matter can remain in the carpet an carpet backing.  If you have a rough idea where your cat or dog is going then you're already ahead of the game, if not monitor your cat or dog after they have eaten.

 

 

Once you have a rough idea where your animals are going to the bathroom cover the windows in the room and get the room as dark as possible.  If is preferable to do this step in the evening to block out as much light as possible.  Take the black light included in the Pet Stainoff kit and run it along the floor about 4 inches from the carpet.  Any pet fecal or urine matter will give off a light glow. 

 

 

With masking tape, mask around the stain leaving a 6 inch gap between the masking tape and edge of the stain.  Repeat this process until you have taped around all the stains in the room.  Remove any large fecal matter before applying the solution.

 

 

 

Next it's time to mix the Pet Stainoff to the exact dilution ratio.  Using measuring cups mix 1 part Pet Stainoff with 4 parts water as hot as you can get it from the tap. 

 

 

For our example we will be mixing 1 cup water with 4 cups Pet Stainoff.  Make sure the water is as hot as you can get it from the tap because it will cool rapidly when it is applied to the carpet. Once the product is mixed pour the product using a funnel into the applicator bottle included with the kit.

 

 

 

To apply the solution first pour the Pet Stainoff mixture into the applicator bottle included in the kit using a funnel.  Adjust the spray nozzle on the applicator bottle to produce a stream of solution by turning the red tip of the sprayer.  Apply the solution to the carpet working from the outer edges of the stain to the center of the stain. 

 

 

 

Once the carpet is fully saturated soak an old towel (one that you will never use again) in hot water so the towel is fully saturated.  Place the towel over the stain inside your marked area.

 

 

The reason we place the warm towel on the stain is to keep the enzymes active by keeping them warm.  Re-soak the towel in hot water periodically and reapply to give the enzymes the opportunity to work

 

 

After 18-24 hours remove the towel and masking tape and allow the carpet to dry. 

 

 

Once the carpet is dry the stain and odor will be gone.
