Urine Contamination

Urine Contamination

Having your carpet or upholstery ‘scanned’ to determine whether they are infected or not is quite a simple process and takes away the guess work. If it is caught early the damage can usually be limited or completely removed – I’m sure you have all seen the yellowing effect near toilets that have carpets? It’s too late for those areas because the colour has been damaged – but do you have other areas that have started to suddenly smell a bit?

In extreme cases your carpet may need to be lifted, as urine (like any liquid) can travel down and penetrate the underlay – or even the floor boards!

In the photo above you will see that the urine patches have been highlighted by our special UV urine rated detection amplifiers because the salts found in urine become fluorescent. The patches are in fact usually invisible to the human eye – but not to us! We can deal with these issues and make your furnishings healthily clean – bacteria and virus free.

So if you have a pet or an elderly relative, and suspect that the carpets or upholstery are harboring urine deposits, why not get the professionals in to sort the areas concerned – and the odours associated with them?
