Chemicals like formaldehyde used to be in new carpets, but the chemical has no longer been in use for over ten years. Since then, some cleaners could contain that chemical along with bromide compounds, chlorine, and ammonia. These chemicals can get in your pet’s fur or skin and can be ingested after they lick or groom themselves. When entering your pet’s brain, it can have harmful side effects. Check with your veterinarian if you have any concerns with chemicals in your household. Some pets have different reactions than others similarly to allergies in humans. Safer alternatives include natural or plant based cleaners, enzyme cleaners, and baking soda. As animal lovers ourselves, Lucas Family Carpet Cleaning uses pet friendly cleaners to remove all stains while keeping your pets safe and healthy.
