			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Of course it would be ideal for more pet owners if they were able to have <a title="hardwood" href="http://www.directdiscounthardwood.com/" target="_blank">hardwood</a> or <a title="tile flooring" href="http://www.discounttiledirect.com/" target="_blank">tile flooring</a> but everyone cannot make the move away from carpet. If you find yourself in that situation, all is not lost. You can have carpet and live with your pet in a peaceful environment by taking a few extra cleaning and grooming steps to keep your home free from pet odor, hair and treat stains.</p>
<p>Pet odor is probably one of the biggest problem pet owners with carpet face. Carpet holds odors in, but if you bathe and brush your pets on a regular basis, you can avoid pet odors</p>
<p><a href="http://www.directhomediscount.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/09/ddc_16.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-100" style="margin: 8px 6px;" title="ddc_16" src="http://www.directhomediscount.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/09/ddc_16.jpg" alt="" width="163" height="105" /></a>Another issue for carpet with pets around is stains. Whether from vomit or a potty accident, both require two different types of treatment. If your pet has an accident before it makes it to the litter box or outside for a potty break, you can clean it by dabbing up the stain with a damp sponge or cloth. Next, scrub the stain out with water and vinegar – this removes the stain and the odor. In the case of vomit, vinegar and water alone won’t do it – you need to call up the professionals.</p>
<p>As with anything else, if you want your carpet to last and look good for a long time, you have to take care of it. Proper and routine maintenance is the key to keeping your carpet looking and smelling pet-free.</p>
