Area Rug Pet Care: How to Clean & Prevent Stains and Odors

Pets bring lots of joy into our lives. They also tend to create messes on your area rugs. But keeping your rugs clean doesn't have to be challenging. Legacy Rug Care can offer professional cleaning, repair, and maintenance work for your rugs. Besides choosing a reliable cleaning company, you can also try a few tips and tricks to keep pet odor and stains away from rugs. Find out how you can have pets running around while also owning an area rug with this article on pets and rug care.

Rug Care with Pets

There are a couple of ways you can practice keeping a clean rug with pets in your home:

• Act Fast: Clean messes fast to stop stains and odors from getting on your rugs. The faster you clean, the lower the chances of damage.
• Don't Rub, Blot: Use a clean cloth or paper towel to always blot the area. Rubbing will cause the stain to seep deeper into the rug fibers.
• Pet-friendly Products: Don't use harsh cleaning chemicals that could be harmful to your pets. Use cleaners that are pet-safe instead.
• Vacuum Regularly: Vacuum your area rugs routinely to prevent the buildup of fur, dander, and dirt, which can prevent smells and health issues.

Prevent Pet Odors & Stains

A few ways you can prevent pet odor and stains on your area rugs are:

• Spot Clean Immediately: Cleaning accidents quickly is the best way to prevent stains and smells from developing.
• Using Deodorizers: When cleaning up an accident, you can try using odor neutralizers like baking soda or pet-safe sprays.
• House Training: Potty training your pets will make sure they don't leave accidents or messes on your favorite rugs.
• Limit Access: Keep your pets away from your rugs by giving them limited access, which can help avoid any accidents.
