How to Handle Pet Accidents on Carpet

1. Blot—do not rub

Use clean towels to absorb as much moisture as possible. Press firmly from the outside toward the centre.

2. Treat the affected area gently

Use a carpet cleaner made for pet accidents and follow its label. Avoid soaking the carpet or mixing cleaning products.

3. Rinse and dry thoroughly

Blot with a cloth dampened with clean water, then use dry towels to remove moisture. Let the area air dry fully.

When to call a professional

Seek professional help if the accident has reached padding or subflooring, the odour returns, or the rug is delicate.
