Why Pet Stain Remover Works
The Truth About Pet Stains
Pet urine creates two problems in carpet:
- Bad odors
- Yellow stains that seem impossible to remove
The bad odors come from bacteria feeding on urine.
The yellow stains come from a pigment in urine called urochrome. It literally dyes carpet a new color and can only be removed with a chemical reaction called oxidation.
If a cleaning product does not treat BOTH problems–odors and urochrome–it will fail.
How Pet Stain Remover Solves Both Problems
It’s an oxidizer
Pet Stain Remover is made from hydrogen peroxide, a natural oxidizer. Oxidation treats odors and urochrome. Enzymes, detergents, citrus, and oxy products are not oxidizers and do not treat urochrome.
It’s the correct strength
Pharmacy hydrogen peroxide is diluted to 3% strength, which is too weak for pet urine. Pet Stain Remover is 11%. It aggressively attacks pet urine but is formulated not to damage carpet.
It’s stabilized to retain potency during storage, shipping, and use
Hydrogen peroxide rapidly loses strength if not properly stabilized. My proprietary blend of additives keeps Pet Stain Remover stronger, longer.
It’s pH balanced to protect carpet and comply with carpet warranties
Carpet fibers can lose color and become brittle when exposed to products outside a narrow pH range. Pet Stain Remover has a pH of about 4.5, the perfect level to avoid damage and comply with warranties.
It penetrates uncooperative carpet fibers
Modern carpet is hydrophobic, meaning it resists getting wet. Thanks to a special additive, Pet Stain Remover hacks this resistance and delivers stain-removing power deep into carpet fibers where it can attack stains and odors at the root.
It resists resoiling
Any liquid that comes into contact with carpet mixes with oily soils, leaving a sticky residue that attracts dirt. Even spilled water can lead to a frustrating dirty spot that never seems to go away. Pet Stain Remover solves this problem because it contains a special polymer that actively repels dirt. My competitors don’t know this polymer exists, where to buy it, or how to mix it with strong peroxide without destroying it.
It was developed by a professional carpet cleaner with 28 years in the trenches
I invented the formula, mix each batch, and bottle it myself. It’s not a white-labled, generic, cookie-cutter product from some bloated chemical manufacturer. I buy the raw ingredients, mix them to my specifications, and actually use the finished product in the field. It works because it has to. My professional reputation is at stake.
I make it in small batches to ensure quality and freshness
It would be easier to make huge batches and store it, but even stabilized hydrogen peroxide slowly loses strength. I refuse to sell old product that has weakened in a warehouse for months or years. When you buy from me, you get a fresh batch that is full strength.
All ingredients are naturally occurring, plant-based, or biodegradable
Pet Stain Remover should be respected, but it’s safe to use around kids, pets, houseplants, and your whole family.
It comes with access to me
If you run into problems, each bottle has my direct contact info. I’ve been cleaning carpet professionally since 1998 and started my own business in 2004. More than half of my life has been spent knee-deep in pet urine, so I know what I’m talking about. My experience will help you succeed.
Why Other Products Don’t Work
Enzymes, detergents, citrus, and oxy products might dissolve urine, which can help with odors, but they do not remove urochrome because they are not oxidizers.
Products with “Oxy” on the label may sound like oxidizers, but that’s just a marketing term. Almost none of them truly oxidize. Even if they do, they’re too weak to remove urochrome. And the real kicker is, soapy water is just as effective at dissolving pet urine as enzymes, detergents, citrus, and oxy products. More on that later.
Some “viral” pet stain treatments may seem comparable to Pet Stain Remover because they contain a healthy dose of hydrogen peroxide. But their hydrogen peroxide is watered down to under 8% strength. Why? To meet federal guidelines for cheaper shipping. That’s right, they purposely sell an inferior product just to save a few bucks. Since their product is weaker, two or three applications are often required when only one application of Pet Stain Remover would do. Not only is my product 40% stronger and more effective, each bottle lasts longer.
Finally, none of these products are made by a person or company who can actually help you. They simply don’t have the experience. In contrast, I’ve been cleaning carpet for decades. That means if you run into trouble or have technical questions, I have real answers and will help you for free (my personal contact info is printed on every bottle). My competitors, on the other hand, can only offer you a refund.
A Money-Saving Secret
The professional way to remove pet urine from carpet is extraction. That means urine is dissolved and then sucked up.
You can extract just like the pros if you have a wet/dry vac or a home carpet cleaning machine. All you have to do is find urine deposits, dissolve them, and suck them up. But what’s the best way to dissolve urine?
You could use expensive enzymes, detergents, citrus, or oxy products. You could also use those “viral” pet stain treatments you see in social media ads. You could even use Pet Stain Remover. They all do the trick.
But you could also use something that works just as well, only it’s dirt cheap and you can make it yourself. What is this secret product? Soapy water! Yep, plain ol’ water and a few drops of dish soap. It quickly dissolves urine, it’s affordable, and you can make an unlimited supply.
Soapy water must be extracted once it has had time to dissolve urine deposits, but that applies to any product, despite what the instructions might say. Sorry, but we don’t leave spent chemicals, dissolved urine, and dead bacteria in the carpet. That’s gross. Maybe even hazardous. Extraction is the right way. The professional way.
To be clear, you do not need professional extraction equipment. Any wet/dry vac or home carpet cleaning machine will do. If you don’t have one, borrow a friend’s.
Don’t be intimidated by this. I promise the one-two punch of soapy water and extraction is the secret to getting the best results… and it’s dirt cheap. See the How To page for full instructions.
“If I Can Treat Pet-Damaged Carpet With Soapy Water And Extraction, Then Why Do I Need Pet Stain Remover?”
Great question. Don’t forget, oxidation is the only way to remove urochrome, the pigment in urine that dyes carpet a new color. Extraction removes urine deposits and odors, but it doesn’t remove urochrome. Neither do enzymes or other popular products. But Pet Stain Remover does because not only is it an oxidizer, it’s a strong oxidizer. So here’s your plan of attack, compliments of a grizzled pro…
To treat light to moderate pet stains or a single accident, first remove as much contamination as possible. Extraction is not necessary here. Simply blot liquids and scoop solids. Then spray with Pet Stain Remover and walk away. It will attack odors and urochrome stains.
To treat moderate to heavy pet stains, extract first and then spray with Pet Stain Remover. Problem solved. For full instructions, see the How To page.
What To Expect
If you have light to moderate pet stains on your carpet…
You’ll be delighted with Pet Stain Remover. It should easily handle odors and stains.
If you have moderate to heavy pet stains on your carpet…
You’ll still be delighted with Pet Stain Remover, but you’ll want to extract before using it. Extraction is easy, economical, and what pros use to get the best results. Some of my competitors say to pour their product over large areas and let it dry. As much as I hate to admit it, this actually works to dissolve urine and kill odors, and Pet Stain Remover will do the same. But it’s not economical because these products are expensive. And it’s gross because who wants to leave dissolved urine in their carpet?
For the best results, dissolve moderate to heavy urine with soapy water, extract it, and treat remaining stains and odors with Pet Stain Remover. You’ll save money, you’ll get better results, and your carpet will be cleaner.
If you have severe stains on your carpet…
Pet Stain Remover may offer some improvements, but don’t expect a miracle. Instead, consider the 20% rule. If a carpeted area is more than 20% contaminated with pet urine, it should be replaced.
Rules to remember…
When using Pet Stain Remover, patience is required. Oxidation is a process, not a magic trick. Most stains disappear within 3-6 hours. Odors can take longer. More than one application may be necessary.
Repeated applications of any oxidizer, including Pet Stain Remover, can eventually cause dye loss in carpet. I’ve only seen it a few times in my many decades of experience, but it’s always a possibility.
Pet Stain Remover works on pretty much any organic carpet stain. It treats blood, feces, vomit, grass stains, coffee, tea, cola, and much more. However, some organic stains are permanent. Curry and turmeric come to mind.
Please keep in mind that Pet Stain Remover will not remove synthetic stains like artificial food dye. Think Gatorade, melted popsicles, etc. Other than that, you’ll be pleasantly surprised by what it can do.
Do not use Pet Stain Remover or any oxidizer on wool, cotton, silk, or other natural fibers because oxidizers can cause severe color loss. If you’re not sure whether your carpet is a natural fiber, it’s probably not. The vast majority of carpet in the US is synthetic. To be safe, refer to your carpet manufacturer and test Pet Stain Remover in an inconspicuous place.
Why I Sell This To The Public
If you wonder why I sell this stuff to the public instead of protecting a lucrative trade secret, let me tell you a story.
Years ago, our furnace went out. I’d just started my carpet cleaning business and my wife and I didn’t have a lot of money. Heating and air companies wanted $150 just to come out. Parts and labor were extra. I couldn’t afford that.
After some research, I discovered the furnace only needed an ignitor. So I drove to the local HVAC supply warehouse. They don’t sell to the public–only to businesses. Thankfully, I had a federal tax ID number for my carpet cleaning business, so they sold me an ignitor.
It was 15 lousy bucks and I installed it in about five minutes. Saved myself a big chunk of change, and it burned this fact into my mind:
Professionals have access to things we don’t.
That doesn’t sit right with me, and I aim to do something about it. I can’t get you cheap furnace ignitors, but I can absolutely get you the same professional pet stain remover I use. Why? Because it doesn’t seem fair to keep it to myself. I might be a lot of things, but I’m no gatekeeper.
It’s Time To Fix Your Pet Stains
Pet stains aren’t complicated once you understand them. Remove the contamination. Oxidize what remains. That’s how professionals handle it, and it’s exactly what Pet Stain Remover was built to do.
Give it a try, and if you get stuck, contact me for help. I’m not a marketer who started a stain remover business. I’m an experienced carpet cleaner with real trade secrets who wants to help pet owners.
When you’re ready, Pet Stain Remover is here.
Stains And Spots Need Different Solutions
Pet Stain Remover uses oxidation to eliminate organic stains like urochrome. But spots—mud, makeup, and shoe polish, for example—are a different problem that require different chemistry.
That’s why I created Spotter, a powerful encapsulating spot remover designed for everyday carpet spots.
