 
															Pets bring love, comfort, and companionship into our homes—but sometimes, they also bring along accidents. Whether you’re dealing with a puppy still in training or an older pet with the occasional mishap, keeping your rugs fresh and clean can be a challenge. Pet stains and odors not only affect how your home smells but can also damage your rug fibers over time.
At Williams Carpet Care, we help homeowners and businesses in Fayetteville, Southern Pines, and surrounding areas keep their rugs looking (and smelling) like new. Our IICRC-certified technicians use products and equipment that carry the Carpet and Rug Institute’s Seal of Approval (CRI-SOA) and are Green Seal Certified, ensuring every cleaning is both effective and environmentally responsible.
The quicker you act, the better your chances of removing the stain completely.
Blot, don’t scrub. Use paper towels or a clean cloth to absorb as much liquid as possible.
Avoid rubbing. Rubbing spreads the stain deeper into the rug fibers.
Rinse with cool water. Gently dab the area to dilute the spot and reduce odor buildup.
A simple, safe home solution can help with mild stains and smells:
Mix one part white vinegar with one part water and lightly spray or blot the area.
Let it sit for a few minutes, then blot dry with a clean towel.
Sprinkle baking soda over the spot once it’s dry to help neutralize odors.
However, avoid using strong store-bought cleaners. Many contain chemicals that can damage rug fibers or leave residues that attract more dirt.
Sometimes, even with your best efforts, pet odors can linger. That’s because urine and other organic matter can seep deep into the rug backing or padding where household cleaners can’t reach. This is when professional rug cleaning becomes essential.
At Williams Carpet Care, our IICRC-certified team uses enzyme-based cleaning solutions that safely break down odor-causing bacteria at the molecular level. Our CRI-SOA-approved equipment ensures deep, effective cleaning, while our Green Seal Certified products are safe for your family, pets, and the environment.
The result? A cleaner, fresher, and healthier home or business without harsh chemicals or lingering smells.
For delicate or larger area rugs, we offer pickup and delivery rug cleaning throughout Fayetteville, Southern Pines, and surrounding areas. We carefully transport your rug to our facility, clean it using industry-approved methods, and return it fresh, soft, and odor-free.
