Pet Urine and Odor Removal in Lexington KY

Cleaning Up ‘Accidents’

Our pets. We love them. No matter what.

No matter if they hack up hairballs. No matter if they barf up their breakfast. No matter if they mistake the corner of the living room for the litter box or the grass patch outside.

Dogs, cats, gerbils, hamsters, birds… the list goes on as to the types of pets that people have in their homes and subsequently treat like family. Or even better than family.

With owning a pet comes responsibilities. Some obligatory, such as taking them to the vet for annual checkups. Others are more of a necessity, such as cleaning up after they make a mess, from turning over the food dish to the previously mentioned hacking or barfing — or other issues that create a smelly, visible mess that must be dealt with.

Pet accidents. They happen to every pet owner. And are they really “accidents” — as if the pet didn’t really mean to do it? That’s another story entirely.

Here are a few basic steps to consider when cleaning up “accidents”.

Scrape or wipe it up — all of it

No matter the mess, whether tossed-up tidbits from the food bowl to a hacked-up hairball to urine or feces in the carpet, the first order of business is to clean up the excess residue. There’s no point in applying a cleaning product or deodorizer to a substance that you can remove with a few paper towels.

Blot and blot… and blot some more

Now is the time to get as much moisture (gross!) out of the carpet or off the flooring material, or even off furniture. Using white, absorbent paper or cloth towels, push down on the affected area. Do not scrub. The idea is to absorb as much contamination as you can.

Apply product — and clean!

The final step is to clean up all remaining residues from the surface. Always pretest colors and fabrics before adding cleaning products, although most surfaces are fairly durable and can handle mild cleaning agents. Get some ideas for the best products from your local carpet cleaning company. Control the amount applied with a flip-top bottle or add the product to a white, absorbent paper or cloth towel. Work into the area and clean away the contamination. If you remove it when fresh, there should be no residual issues.

Sounds easy, right? It’s not always this easy. When you have difficult cleaning challenges, do the right thing. Call your professional cleaning company. After all, it pays to call a pro!

They did such a great job with cleaning my carpets which were in bad shape. They were quick and worked hard to get the job done. They were very knowledgeable and explained things so I understood what/why they were doing what they did. Great service.

Bluegrass Cleaning and Hardwood Refinishing was prompt, thorough in their inspection, and fixed the problem with cat urine that had gotten on a few places on my very old hardwood floors. They did great work, were very helpful with advice, and charged a very reasonable amount for their work.

I had purchased a Groupon coupon back in April. I spoke with Kevin around June and we talked about when I might want to do my cleaning, and he was very helpful. And then we made an appointment later for July. This is July 22, 2025 and the technicians have just left. I could not be happier. My carpet is nine years old, and has only been professionally cleaned once in that time, Over a year and a half ago. And the other company did not do nearly as good as cleaning. It looks great. It smells great. And they gave me a really good deal for the extra footage and the scotch guard protection. I would do business with this company again!!

My sofa and loveseat were expertly cleaned. It took about an hour and dried in about 8 hours. I'm very pleased.

The 2 gentlemen, Kevin & Hunter were extremely knowledgeable and thorough. I had them look at our laminateflooring as well and learned a great deal about cleaning and polishing (actually not polishing!) it. Very impressed with Bluegrass in this first experience! Great job!
