What is clean?

We all clean but what is clean anyway?  There are some that clean the surface; vacuum, dust, hide the clutter.  There are some that do this plus wash the windows and base boards. There are some that even go to the extent of hiring a cleaning crew. 

But what is beneath the surface when we clean?



I have pets....and I don't care how often I clean, what products I use the truth of the matter is I have pets and they will always be there.  

There meaning this:

• Their hair on the furniture
• Their hair in the carpet
• Their hair in the furnace ducts
• Their "accidents" on the carpet

Let's face it...they are everywhere....but we love them so we tolerate them being everywhere.  

We can usually get rid of the "odor" they leave with their accidents...or at least we can cover them up.  We can vacuum the floors and the furniture and get rid of most of the pet hair they leave behind.  We can place blankets down on our furniture so they collect most of the hair.  We can do a lot to rid our home of a little of them.

I want to talk about their little messes.  URINE. To me it means: U R IN trouble...meaning I am in trouble.  You can do all of the tricks you have learned over the internet; boiling hot water, pet spray, vinegar (which honestly smells worse) and the all room sprays...but let's be honest....it is ALWAYS there.  

We can call the professionals to come in.  Be careful about who you choose to do this job.  Most will promise you to eliminate the problem with this or that.  The truth...most do not use the right cleaning compound to eliminate the problem because once the pet smells their urine (or that of another pet) they think it's okay to "go" there.  

No matter what they leave....they are worth it

Urine is an acid base.  Most carpet cleaners clean with alkaline.  This is kind of like cleaning cooking grease with oil.  To do it correctly it is a two step process:  The first step is spray a pairing agent that will deter the pet from "going" there again.  It is your first line of attack.  The carpet is then cleaned. The second step is to remove the urine stain.   






I know the commercials say that their steam cleaners are as good as the professionals but let's be honest....they are not.  They are "okay" for small jobs but there is no way they can suck up all the water that is put into the carpet. They also cannot have the water as hot as you would need.  So they put lukewarm water into the carpet and bring suck up only half...hmmm what else do you think doesn't come up?

Don't be fooled.  I was and have a carpet cleaner "just as good as the professionals" sitting in my garage.  If you have a urine problem call a professional!
