How to Clean Pet Urine Stains and Other Accidents at Home

Pets bring joy to our homes, but they can also leave little "accidents" on carpets, furniture, and floors. Urine, vomit, or feces can cause stains and lingering odors if not cleaned properly. In this guide, we’ll show you the best methods to remove pet stains and keep your home fresh and spotless.

???? Why Is It Important to Clean Up Immediately?

When a pet has an accident, the mess can quickly absorb into fibers and surfaces, causing persistent odors. If not cleaned thoroughly, your pet may return to the same spot.
