Title: Pet urine
Post by: Keith Durkin on September 29, 2016, 08:51:28 pm

Can discolouring caused by pet urine be removed from a carpet. The carpet is cream coloured, synthetic and is felt backed.  If so  how? I have  products to deal with the smell, but  would like advice on dealing with the stain.
Thanks in advance.

Interestingly I today cleaned a john Lewis 100%wool  cream rug, long piled, with a fist sized yellow stain caused by customers dog.
does anyone out there have any suggestions on product to reduce/remove yellowing discolouration. Thanks, Simon

No its not possible unfortunately. The urine has chemically damaged the actual fiber. You may make a small improvement with something like sod met an ingredient in products like Craftex Shift but it will likely be more trouble than its worth in most cases.

Pet urine rinses out of most synthetic fibers no probs.

Thanks Robin, stains have been there some time, customer aware, stains may not come out.
