Getting Pet Stains Out

Along these lines, the padding is where some underlying stains can still produce an odor. When a pet urinates on the carpet, most of the urine will trickle down into the padding that is underneath. Steam cleaning helps to clean the carpet, not the padding. My carpet "experts" got rid of the odor stain by pulling the entire carpet back and replacing the padding underneath. When the carpet repairers pull the carpet back, you can visually see where the pet urinated on the carpet. From there they were able to replace the padding, clean and deodorize the carpet and the room looked good as new. My Rule of Thumb now is to always replace the padding when stains are involved.
