How Old, Set-In Pet Stains Are Evaluated
An old pet mark may involve surface residue, color change, fiber wear, backing, padding, subfloor, or more than one incident. Inspection is needed before describing a realistic treatment scope.
Determine Source and Depth
UV inspection, odor location, moisture history, carpet construction, backing, pad, transitions, and incident pattern may inform the assessment. No single tool establishes every hidden source, and ordinary surface cleaning may not reach affected layers.
Separate Staining From Permanent Change
Urine chemistry, age, heat, dye loss, fiber damage, prior spot products, repeated saturation, and wear can leave changes that cleaning cannot reverse. The written scope should distinguish treatment from repair or replacement.
