Cleaning carpets: pets

[lisaviolet]

Hi,

What's the best and easiest way to clean broadloom that wouldn't affect my cats' health in any way. A relative suggested a powder that you can buy - put on and vacuum up but I'm very hesitant.


Thanks in advance.

How old is your carpet? Does the cat health issues? My DH has been cleaning and dealing with carpets for over 30 yrs. Are you talking regular clean? Is there cat urine? Need a little more info. Jo

Hi Jo,

Thanks.

It's not an urine issue - just regular cleaning. The carpet is not old. One of my cats is a lickaholic - way beyond cleaning everything has to be licked - and I'm just hesitant of any chemicals - that's all. One of my cats died of acute kidney failure - a horrid quick death - and I guess that makes me overprotective. Just a concern. Plus the same one doesn't like any different smells - ie. we can't use a freshener in the litter or he'll - hmmm - let us know how he feels about it. . Instantly.

And one of the areas is an open room.

I am interested about the powders that are now on the market.

Thanks for more info, he is very busy as soon as he gets home I will let him read and let him respond for you. Its hard most animals lick carpets and what not. So when he gets home I'll get a reply for you. Jo

Hi! My husband recomends just straight steam clean from a professional. That way you avoid all chemicals. I know how you feel about your pets. Hope this helps you, Jo
