QC Newsletter April 2013 - New Addition?


New Addition?

Spring time seems to be everyone’s favorite time to add a new addition to the family.  No, we’re not talking about a new baby....

Well human baby this is.... We’re talking about a new PUPPY!

As wonderful as having a new puppy is, it can come with it’s owns set of headaches.  So here are some tips to help you out when puppy puddles are putting you in a particular predicament!

First of all, if you have a puppy that is prone to urinate on the carpet, take a quick walk through your home each day when you get home.  The quicker you get to a pet stain the better.

Some technical tips on urine:

When urine is first excreted, it is on the acid side of the pH scale and very easily removed.  Within hours of being exposed to oxygen it turns to an alkaline pH.  When this happens it will continue to increase in  alkalinity to the point of becoming practically ammonia.  This explains the ammonia like odor.








To clean the urine spot:
Mix 1 part white vinegar to 2 parts water and clean with a white terry towel.  If you have a small extraction machine, it would be ideal to use it.
