Once you’ve used a carpet stain remover, you may notice that there is still a light stain or an outline, perhaps, on your floor. Don’t fret, as your carpet can still be salvaged. Simply get a carpet steamer and run it over the stain. A good stain remover will eliminate a majority of the blemish, but getting a steamer should fully remove it.
Of course, you should do this immediately after cleaning the stain. The longer a stain is present, the longer it has to set into the carpet.
Stain removal is imperative if you are living in an apartment or rented house. Stains can result in not getting your deposit refunded or, even worse, getting stuck with a cleaning bill upon a future move.
You can avoid this unpleasantness by finding a good stain remover. There is a school of thought that suggests once urine has soaked into your carpet, all is lost. That isn’t the case, however, as a really great cleaner can remove both smell and stain from your carpet. The internet has plenty of resources worth checking out; now it’s up to you to spend a few minutes by doing so.
About The Founders – Eric and Julie Smith – Now living in Indianapolis, IN
We’ve been heavily involved in animal charity work for more than two decades and are the founders of two federally licensed animal charities. We founded, funded and operated a nonprofit, feline-only, low-cost spay/neuter clinic in the neediest section of our city.

Many users simply apply their DooDoo Voodoo by pouring, wiping or spraying, then they let it air dry and they’re finished. Some of us, though, have urine problems that are more widespread and that may benefit from a little extra work with a carpet cleaning machine.
Salvaging Pee-Soaked SubfloorMost customers can solve their pet odor problems by simply pouring or spraying DooDoo Voodoo on their stinky areas, then letting the product air dry naturally. This can even be the case where repeated urination has occurred, despite what you might think. DooDoo Voodoo is that effective.There are times, though, when more invasive measures might be necessary. This document addresses how to go about salvaging your subfloor if repeated urination has trashed it. Note that while we were dealing with wooden subfloor, these guidelines also generally apply to concrete subfloors (slabs), too.
We recently undertook as a project, DooDoo Voodoo alone solved virtually all the odor problems throughout the dwelling, even in spots where the blacklight showed us that cats had repeatedly sprayed. There were three spots in the condo, though, where years of repeated urination had trashed the subfloor to such an extent that additional work was required.
Here’s a picture of one of the areas with trashed subfloor, Read the rest of this entry »
