Although pets are a beloved part of the family, it’s frustrating when they cause damage to the house and your personal belongings. Maintenance and repairs can be costly, so taking proactive steps to prevent problems is the best course of action. Tile floors, in particular, need protection because they are prone to damage from cats and dogs. Specializing in pet stain and odor removal, the professionals at Superior Carpet Care have a few tips to help Texarkana, TX, customers keep their floors clean and fresh-smelling.

Apply Sealer 

When your tile is sealed correctly, it will block pet accidents from absorbing into the grout. This will keep the mess on the floor’s surface and allow you to clean it up hassle-free. However, without the sealer to create a barrier, the acids in urine and vomit will cause the tile and grout to start etching. This breakdown is irreversible and will likely require re-grouting.

Invest in Regular Tile & Grout Cleaning 

Regardless of how diligent you are about cleaning your floors, if your pet continues to have accidents, your efforts won’t remove the discoloration and smell that develops over time. This is why it’s essential to invest in regular tile and grout cleanings performed by a professional who has the right tools to tackle pet stain and odor removal.

Put Down a Barrier

Another solution for preventing tile damage from your pets is to place a barrier between them and your bare floor. Animals naturally have oils on their bodies that will leave a residue behind on any surface they lay on. To keep this off your tile, put down a bed or blanket they can lay on instead of sprawling out directly on the floor.

By taking preventive measures, your tile floors will maintain their beauty for years to come. If you need assistance with pet stain and odor removal, enlist the expert services of Superior Carpet Care. Contact them at (903) 319-7854 for a free estimate, or visit their website for more information.
