A visual demo how to remove a difficult type of pet stain

There are so many households in United States including the White House that has pets around. It is bound to happen sooner or later that the pet has some sort of accident. SwedeClean.com has a slide show on its website showing how to remove a really difficult type of stain. It is the common "thru-up" stain. This one is really tough to get out. Most wall to wall carpets in homes are made of nylon. Nylon carpets go through a dyeing process to add color to the carpet fiber. The process is acid and that is exactly what the stomach content is too. The "thru up" is acid and that will severely affect the carpet. By following the steps shown in the slide show you might be able to get that tough stain out next time it happens. All you have to do is to be prepared and have the right products around.
