Removing Urine from Carpets

Urine is an issue when it comes into contact with your furnishings.

If you are not in this industry, you don’t have the machinery to sort the problem out, so you resort to spraying solutions on the area and rubbing it further into the fibre or fabric.

Liquid will sink. Removing that is the problem.

When the homeowner attempts this, more than likely, a stain will appear several hours after the event.

The colours you don’t want are orange or yellow. The product you have used has bleached the area, or the urine itself has caused the damage.

When the colour is darker or black, this, in most instances, is removal.

However, the products you have used on occasion may seal the stain.

We get frustrated with the outcome of our attempt and try again, only to make the area bigger.

And along with this problem is the odour, but we advise on this a bit later on.

This is what you should do.

Using a clean cloth, place it over the area, and press down. Just a bit of pressure. No rubbing, as this will make the wee spread.

Using just water from a spray bottle, apply this and re-dab using the cloth. Keep doing this until you think you have removed the pee.

We receive calls daily from customers advising we have this terrible odour we can’t get rid of.

Been on the internet and tried all the remedies, but none have worked.

Let us put it this way.

If you leak in your underwear, you would put it in the washing machine to be flushed out.

Same principle.

If the amount is not that great, we may get away with applying specialist cleaning solutions that break down the salts.

It is the salts that give the whiff along with mildew.

In the more severe cases, we need to replace the underlay.

This is a common job we action.

When it is this severe, we have to do a few things.

Obviously, remove the damaged padding. Sanitise the subfloor and the backing of the carpet. Replace the new padding. Refit carpet. Treatment added and steam cleaned.

We may use our UV torch to ensure we have captured everything.

 Extracting Urine from Upholstery

This can be quite taxing to resolve. This may be dribbles from the dog or human accidents.

Hopefully, this can be extracted using standard chemicals and steam cleaning.

For the more serious cases, we may have to use deodorising injections, and we have removed the webbing from the base of the furniture to gain access to the padding.

No job is the same, and as such, no quotation is the same either.

Urine in Rugs

Our pets use rugs to lie and sleep on. When they whizz on them, removing that smell and stain can be difficult.

That’s why we wash them in a bath, literally. Doing so removes all the contamination.

Once that is done, we then steam clean and dry.

• Contrast: Feline kidneys are highly efficient systems optimised to extract and retain maximum hydration from food.
• Data: The specific gravity (fluid density) of healthy cat urine regularly exceeds 1.040. Conversely, dog urine is far more diluted, generally registering between 1.018 and 1.025. This higher water content makes canine waste lighter in shade, thinner, and less aromatic.

• Contrast: Domestic felines descend from desert-dwelling ancestors.
• Data: To endure harsh, water-scarce environments, felines evolved an elongated loop of Henle. This specialised kidney structure excels at reclaiming water before excretion. The result is a highly condensed waste fluid, a trait not shared by dogs, which evolved as omnivorous pack hunters without the need for extreme fluid conservation.

• Contrast: A specific amino acid occurs exclusively in feline waste.
• Data: Cats excrete a distinct, sulfur-based amino acid known as felinine. While scentless upon elimination, exposure to air causes felinine to decay into volatile molecules called mercaptans—the same chemical compound found in skunk spray. This breakdown creates the notoriously sharp, lingering stench associated with old cat stains.

• Contrast: Cats are strict, obligate carnivores, while dogs can thrive on an omnivorous diet.
• Data: Because a feline diet relies entirely on meat proteins, their metabolic processes generate substantial nitrogen waste. When native environmental bacteria encounter the urea in this nitrogen-heavy fluid, they quickly convert it into a pungent, highly noticeable ammonia gas.
