To the average person, urine is not a pleasant topic. To Spotless Services the professional fabric care specialist in the urine and odor control industry, we view urine from a different perspective. There is a reason dogs and cats are our best friends. Unlike other odors we may be called upon to eliminate, urine is more than simply an odor control issue or even a stain and odor issue. There is also a health issue. So there are three issues to be addressed – Stain, odor and decontamination.

Time Plays A Part In Successful Urine Decontamination, Odor and Stain Removal

Spotless Services views this as more than cleaning – it is decontamination. We find it helpful to assist our clients to have a similar viewpoint. If our client appreciates the seriousness of the problem they will be more receptive to the solutions we offer. It is more than simply spraying some magical formula on the stain. Yet, many carpet cleaners and pet owners think their problems can be solved that easily.

Lets consider how much urine may be in your carpet. A small dog or cat weighing five pounds or less will eliminate about 2 ounces of urine each time. If the animal urinates only twice a day, it amounts to well over 11 gallons per year. If the animal concentrates that into a small area or even several small areas, which many of them do, then the problem can be quite extensive.

Now think about the case where the animal is a Great Dane who considers the living room carpet to be his own special sandbox. The contamination gets worse when there are multiple animals in the home.

Often the home-owner believes that the pet urinating on the carpet is a rare event, an “accident.” We can assure them it was no accident. The animal did that on purpose. The purpose may have been more than simply relieving themselves. For example, male cats are very territorial. They will mark with spray or urine the perimeter or boundary of their territory, wherever they are allowed to roam.

When there are multiple animals present the instinct to mark their territory is even stronger. Male cats are not the only animals to mark their territory or lay claim to something by making sure their scent is present in the form of urine.

The Make-up of Urine

Urine leaves the body (either animal or human) as an acid with a pH that is typically between 5 and 6. Until urine is leaving the animal, it is sterile containing no harmful bacteria, pathogens or micro-organisms unless the animal has a urinary or bladder infection.

The principle ingredient in urine (from mammals) is uric acid. Urine also contains urochrome (yellow pigment), cholesterol (lipids), urea and other ingredients. The exact make-up of urine will vary depending on the animal’s diet, health and other factors. The urine begins to change immediately upon leaving the body. The urine comes in contact with bacteria in the end of the urethra and on the animal’s skin along with micro-organisms in the carpet and elsewhere.
