🧼 How to Handle Pet Stains Like a Pro

---

🐕 1. Common Stains Caused by Pets

Each pet leaves its mark in a different way:

• Dogs: Muddy paw-prints, urine spots, drool, and fur oils

• Cats: Urine sprays, hairballs, litter tracking

• Rabbits/Guinea pigs: Urine leaks from cages, hay/droppings scatter

• Birds: Droppings, feather dust, seed scatter

• Ferrets & rodents: Strong-smelling secretions, corner stains

Each of these stains brings odours, bacteria and potential carpet damage - especially if left untreated.

---

🧴 2. Tackle Fresh Accidents Immediately

If your pet has an “oops” moment:

• Blot - Don’t scrub! Use a clean cloth to absorb as much liquid as possible.

• Apply a natural cleaner (1:1 mix of white vinegar and water).

• Rinse with clean water, blot dry and use baking soda for odour control.

⚠️ Never use bleach or ammonia-based products - they can worsen the stain or mimic urine smells, encouraging repeat accidents.

🧼 3. DIY Enzymatic Cleaner Recipe

For urine or faeces:

• 2 cups 🥤 warm water

• 2 tablespoons 🥄 white vinegar

• 1 tablespoon 🥄 baking soda

• A few drops 💦 of dish soap

Spray onto the stain, let sit for 10-15 minutes, then blot dry.

Enzymatic cleaners break down the proteins that cause lingering smells

- especially useful for multi-pet homes in Dorset.

🚫 4. How to Handle: Old or Set-In Stains

If a stain’s been sitting unnoticed:

Where moisture is higher, trapped Pet urine, left untreated, can lead to hazardous mould!
