Press Release Summary: \"Accidents\" are a fact of life for pet owners, and how well
the soiled area is cleaned affects whether or not the animal uses that spot for his
personal toilet again.

Press Release Body: SANDPOINT, Idaho - \"Accidents\" are a fact of life for pet
owners, and how well the soiled area is cleaned affects whether or not the animal
uses that spot for his personal toilet again. The author of two books on adopted pet
care, Susan Daffron of Logical Expressions, Inc. offers a few cleanup tips based on
her books "Happy Hound: Develop a Great Relationship with Your Adopted Dog or Puppy"
(ISBN: 978-0-9749245-2-6; LCCN-2006909898) and "Happy Tabby: Develop a Great
Relationship with Your Adopted Cat or Kitten" (ISBN: 978-0-9749245-3-3;
LCCN-2007906436).

1. Get up close and personal with the carpet. Pets have a vastly more sensitive
sense of smell than humans. Even if a spot seems clean, a pet still knows that\'s
where he left his \"scent.\" If the smell is noticeable, the pet certainly can detect
it and will return to the same spot. Use your nose and eyes to find every problem
area.

2. Seek out old stains. A black light bulb can reveal old urine stains. Turn out all
the lights in the room and use the black light to identify long-standing problem
areas.

3. Remove odors completely. To clean the areas so the odors are really gone. Use an
enzymatic cleaner and follow the instructions on the bottle carefully. These
cleaners actually neutralize the odor, as opposed to just covering them up.

4. Clean up new accidents as soon as they happen. If an accident has just occurred,
soak up as much of the urine/liquid as possible with a folded towel or a stack of
paper towels. Stand or press on this pad until the area is barely damp. Then use the
enzymatic cleaner on the spot. Rinse the area with cool water and blot with a towel.

5. Avoid using cleaning chemicals that don\'t eliminate odor. Common cleaning agents
such as ammonia or vinegar don\'t eliminate odor completely. Using other strong
chemicals may also decrease the effectiveness of the enzymatic cleaner. Avoid using
steam cleaners to remove urine because the heat can permanently set the stain.

Once the house is thoroughly cleaned, begin retraining your pet. Without the smells
to distract him, it will be easier for him to do the right thing. And that\'s good
news for your carpet!
