As much as you love your furry family members, accidents happen. To make sure stains such as dirt, water, urine, and more can be easily cleaned, keep pet lines of quality flooring in mind. Pet-friendly carpeting decisions no longer have you picking from bland colors and textures. You can pick what works best for you in your home while knowing you’re covered by built-in stain protection.

Mineral Core flooring is available as well, which provides a waterproof veneer and is deep scratch, stain and fade resistant. It also is antibacterial, reducing the presence of 99.9% E.coli and staph for up to 24 hours.

Carpet Values carries brands like Shaw and Mohawk to ensure your house remains looking spotless. Shaw partners with PetSmart and donates a portion of their proceeds to PetSmart Charities. Mohawk provides an All Pet® warranty and keeps their carpeting products sustainable by making them from recycled bottles.

Here are pet stain removal tips to keep your carpet clean whether your best friend is big or small.

• Address spills and stains as soon as possible.
• Remove any solids on the carpet using a dull knife or rigid tool.
• Blot as much liquid as possible using white, absorbent cloth, working the edges.
• Apply a small amount of cold water.
• Apply a solution of clear liquid dish detergent (with no additives) mixed with cold water (1/4 teaspoon detergent to one cup water) and continue to blot.
• Do not at any point saturate the carpet. Be gentle.
• Rub lightly in one direction to rub further down the individual tufts rather than in a back and forth motion.
• Absorb as much of the stain and any applied solution as possible using white absorbent cloth and direct pressure.
• If pet urine stain has been allowed to sit for a period prior to being attended to, use 50/50 clear vinegar and water solution.
