Bad Dog! Or Cat…
Your pet is adorable, and as much a member of your family as a brother or sister (sometimes more!). But pets can act up, and sometimes the ‘victim’ of their bad behaviour can be your favourite piece of clothing. The good news is, if your pet has used your clothes or bedding as their own personal bathroom, you’ll know it – it reeks. A tell-tale sign of pet urination is a strong ammonia-like smell, if you can’t see the evidence immediately. The bad news is, pet urine, especially from cats, can be a massive challenge to remove.
A quick Internet search will bring up dozens of DIY at-home remedies for removing pet urine, but why risk it? The longer a stain is allowed to set in, the less of a chance you’ll have of removing it completely. Do you really want to leave the fate of your favourite dress or blazer up to advice from ‘Uncle Dean’s DIY’ website? The best way to ensure pet urine comes out of your clothes or bedding for good is to leave it up to the professionals.
At Simply Laundry, we’ve been in the pet urine trenches and know exactly how to deal with soiled clothing and bedding to ensure the stain – and smell – are completely removed. Our professional laundering and dry clean services will ensure your clothing receives the care and attention needed to to remove pesky pet stains before they have a chance to set in and ruin your favourite article of clothing.
If you discover that your sweet little pet has mistaken your closet or bedroom for a bathroom, here are the steps you need to take:
-
Separate the article of clothing or bedding and place it in its own bag to avoid contaminating other articles (this is less important for a set in stain as it is for a fresh one)
-
Search in the general vicinity of the accident and make sure you find all articles of clothing or bedding that may have been affected
-
Go online to www.simply-laundry.com and order a pick-up; make sure to indicate in the comments section that you need pet urine removed
-
Leave your clothes for pick-up with your concierge
It’s as easy as that! No more messing around with wacky at-home fixes that may or may not make things worse. Make sure your clothes and bedding are taken care of properly the first time by leaving it up to the professionals. The longer you wait, the less of a chance you’ll have of salvaging your clothes, so make sure to contact Simply Laundry as soon as you find out your precious pet has had an accident.
