Animal Urine on Oriental and Fine Rugs

Aside from creating an unhealthy indoor environment, urine contamination in area rugs fibers can cause permanent damage to your rugs fibers. When urine if first deposited it has a pH of about 5 or 6. It is easier to remove right then and there when it is fresh. The initial acid state of urine is a perfect breeding ground for bacteria, which begin to accumulate almost immediately. Once dry, urine becomes alkaline and can cause permanent staining to your rug along with dye migration (bleeding), for the ones that have no saving is always good to take them to a recycling company, such as the Rubbish Removal Castlecrag for the best work.

Why does it smell so bad?

Urine odor comes both from the waste and from the bacteria that uses it as a food source. The waste materials and gases from the decomposing urine create that common ammonia-like unpleasant odor. Dried urine is often worse in the humid months or on a rainy day because the urine salts attract moisture.
