Getting Pet Stains Out of Fine Oriental and Persian Area Rugs
There is a certain unmistakable joy in owning a pet. There is also a certain unmistakable joy in owning a beautiful oriental rug. Sadly, problems can arise from having both. Pets are sometimes of the opinion that the world is their oyster and, if not oyster, then perhaps their personal restroom.
Very few things are more damaging to area rugs, oriental carpets, and fine hand knotted rugs than pet urine. The components of a pet accident on a rug are eerily similar to the components of the rug dying process. You mix heat, color, and liquid with wool and the wool absorbs that color and holds on to it for dear life. If combined, the dying capabilities of pet urine and the very high ph factor that pet urine has, the combination will almost certainly lead to corrosion of the wool and a change in color. Not to mention the smell and the fact that if a pet accident is not properly cleaned, the pet will eventually find his or her way back to that same spot.
At the RugSpa we have seen most of it and heard it all. There are all kinds of products out there that claim to work on pet stains. There are even products out there that claim to be a deterrent to pets who want to use the area rug as an expensive toilet. Our experience as professional area rug cleaners is that those products work less than half of the time and even if they do work they can cause as many problems as they solve.
In talking with Jeff, the RugSpa plant manager and chief rug cleaner (with twenty years experience), he says the best thing to do is to blot the excess liquid with a towel and then flush thoroughly with cold water. After that, place a towel on top of the affected area and put something heavy on the towel. The towel should absorb most of it. After that, seek a professional area rug cleaner.
