Animal Waste Cleanup | Steri-Clean® Nebraska 

While we love our pets dearly, sadly animals can often cause damage to our homes. Never mind a chewed shoe or scratched sofa, dogs, cats, and other pets can leave behind hard-to-clean stains, nasty odors, and waste. If left, animal waste can cause further damage to your property and even impact the health of your family. With years of experience, Steri-Clean®  has been offering professional animal waste cleanup to the people of Nebraska.

 

Toxic Pet Waste at Your Home or Business
 

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) defines pet waste as a “non-point source of pollution,” which means solid pet waste falls under the same category as oil and toxic chemicals. Pet feces contains protozoa - Cryptosporidium, Giardia, Salmonella, as well as hookworms, ringworms, tapeworms, fecal coliform, and bacteria which includes E. Coli. According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), pet waste can contribute to many diseases that can be transmitted from animals to humans—known as zoonoses. When pet waste is overlooked, bugs and bacteria can thrive in the feces for some time, which can then infect animals and humans. 

​

Homes with heavy accumulations of animal feces and urine not only cause irreversible damage to the area, but they can also release potentially toxic bioaerosols and gases into the air. Disease exposure can occur through inhalation, contact, or via insects. Individuals who have a weakened immune system or suffer from respiratory problems will be at higher risk of developing health issues. On top of creating an unsafe environment for you and your loved ones, unattended feces can cause severe odor problems for surrounding neighbors too.

 

Cleaning Up Pet Waste

If cleaned immediately and disinfected properly, small amounts of animal waste will not lead to any major problems. However, when a pet owner, for whatever reason, is unable to clean and disinfect the area where urine and or feces accumulate, it becomes dangerous and should be remediated by a professional biohazard company. 

 

At Steri-Clean® Nebraska, we understand the concerns here. Our certified technicians know how to deep clean and penetrate the home’s affected areas and eliminate the dangers and obnoxious odors that come from animal waste. After a thorough inspection, we can then determine the extent of the damage and the cleaning required to resolve the problem quickly and efficiently. Rest assured, our trained and skilled team always practice the highest levels of health and safety standards, ensuring that your property is once again clean and safe.

 

Animal Waste Cleanup for Dogs

Even the most well-trained dog can have a random accident now and then. Maybe they’re getting old or maybe they simply had to relieve themselves. For the most part, when the mess is not cleaned up straight away it can cause lasting damage. As soon as the waste makes contact with your floors, it can soak into the carpet, right through the padding, and into the subflooring. In this case, a simple clean and disinfectant will not get rid of the damage and odor.

 

Animal Waste Cleanup for Cats

Without a doubt, one of the most stubborn and potent animal odors to clean up is cat urine. This is due to the fact that a cat’s urine is highly concentrated, due to a feline’s body absorbing greater amounts of water in order to maintain hydration. Meaning, if kitty relieves his or herself somewhere outside the litter box, the cleanup job can be more complex. 

 

Tips To Rid Your Home of Pet Odors

  • The first rule about odor remediation is to always remove the source first and foremost. Any materials saturated with waste should be discarded and properly disposed of.

  • Do not use bleach to clean animal waste. Bleach deactivates when it comes into contact with soiled surfaces, plus it is corrosive to metals and a known lung irritant. When used to clean cat urine, a dangerous vapor can be created. 

  • Neutralize any remaining urine salts with a specialized cleaner designed to counteract PH levels of urine, extract and digest waste components.

  • Apply EPA registered hospital grade disinfectant to all surfaces. (Steri-Clean uses a proprietary disinfectant which completely kills the odor by cleaving the cells or spores.)

  • Always allow affected areas to dry completely.

  • Re-evaluate the remaining odor and repeat steps as necessary. 

  • Do not apply primer sealer or paint affected surfaces unless you are absolutely satisfied with the result. Covering these areas will prevent supplemental efforts by professional odor technicians such as Steri-Clean.
