Along with the rise of modern office culture, diversity, and gender acceptability, a new phenomenon has emerged in the form of office pets. Many offices these days are even adding their pets to their team pages or describing them as their team mascots. While this can be good for team morale, it can also keep the commercial cleaning team busy if the dogs aren’t proficiently toilet trained.

Your carpets can take more than their fair share of abuse, including mud, dirt, grime, and staining. Carpet cleaning is needed to get them back looking as they should, prevent further damage, and reduce their lifetime.

One type of stain found in many homes and (now some offices), given our love of pets, is staining from pet urine. Most pets are lovable creatures ranging from tiny kittens all the way up to full-grown giant dogs like Dobermans, and whilst they may all differ in size, they all share one natural function: the need to pee.

Of course, many adult pets will have complete control over their bladders, and the likelihood of their urine ending up on your carpets is negligible.
