Pet Stain Kit

Pet Stain Kit

Pet owners have a lot of questions about how to handle pet stains and messes.  I am a proud owner of two Australian Cattle Dogs, Rusty "Red Dog" and Kingsley.  They are wonderful and I love them a lot!  However, they do occasionally have accidents and/or get sick.  (Below is Kingsley)


So what do you do when you find a mess on the carpet? 

Many of my customers have purchased a "Bissell" Spot Bot or similar wet vacuum, which they use when their pets have an accident.  I hear mixed reviews- some folks love them, others don't feel they have the power to do much good.  They are also expensive.

Here is a low cost option that does an acceptable job between "Professional" cleanings. (By professional- I mean Red Dog Carpet Cleaning, of coarse, every 6-12 months if possible if you are a pet owner.)

I found the "Bucket Head" at Home Depot for about $21.  You'll also need a bucket, which cost me $3.  So for about $25 I now have a small, easy to use wet vac which I can pull out of the closet and easily suck up pet stains.  It works on other stains too!
There are other options.  A "real" shop vac works even better, but of coarse is more expensive, larger and heavy.  I opted for the bucket head for storage reasons.

Cleaning Procedure:  Pick up any pieces that you can't get up with the wet vacuum. Then use your wet vac on the stain, slowly going back and forth.  Finally, use water or a spotter (The spotter that I give my customers works well) and continue to use the wet vacuum and a white towel.

As long as you get to the stain reasonably quickly after it happened, you should be able to get most of the stain out with this method.

Give me a call with any questions- Thanks!

Tile, Grout, Marble and Concrete Cleaning...we do it all!

Good Day Everyone!  (once again, I've not been diligent around posting on this blog...I will endeavor to write more posts in 2012!)

Just wanted to let everyone know about our hard surface cleaning services:
  • We use Green Seal certified products whenever possible to ensure the health and safety of your family.  This includes those hard surfaces, too!
  • All technicians are uniformed and fully IICRC trained.  We are locally owned and operated. We are not a franchise!
  • All procedures are completed using the most up to date and powerful tools possible, including truck mounted steam and suction.
  • All services include a 100% money back guarantee.
Here is a complete list of the services we provide:
  • Carpet cleaning.  We have two levels of service:  Silver, which is our standard cleaning.  Platinum, which also includes moving furniture and application of Scotchgard.
  • Tile and Grout Cleaning.  This service includes cleaning your tile and grout with agitation as well as a rotary pressure tool.
  • Application of Scotchgard (to carpet and upholstery).  We can apply protectors to your hard surfaces as well!
  • Marble cleaning and polishing.  This service includes cleaning and lightly buffing using diamond pads to restore the mirror bright finish of these wonderful floors.
  • Upholstery cleaning.  Most furniture can be cleaned, and they typically clean up very well!
  • Concrete surface cleaning and polishing.  This process is similar to our marble cleaning and polishing.  I am always surprised at how awesome concrete looks once polished, sealed and buffed!
Thank you Lincoln and surrounding areas for a wonderful 2011!  We look forward to serving you in 2012 and beyond!
