🐾 Why Antibacterial Carpet Cleaning is a Must for Pet Owners (and How to Do It Right!)

Whether you’re house-training a new puppy or just dealing with the everyday messes that come with beloved pets, carpets can quickly become a breeding ground for bacteria, odours, and stains. That's where Dirtbusters Pet Pro Antibacterial Carpet Cleaner Shampoo comes in — a powerful, pet-safe solution designed to clean deep, eliminate smells, and kill germs in one simple step.

In this post, we’ll explore the benefits of antibacterial carpet cleaning, show you how to use our Pet Pro concentrate effectively depending on your machine type, and share expert tips for getting the best results.

🧪 Why Antibacterial Carpet Cleaning Matters

Traditional carpet cleaning products focus mainly on lifting dirt and stains. But when pets are involved, surface cleaning simply isn’t enough. Here's why using an antibacterial formula makes all the difference:

• Eliminates 99.9% of bacteria commonly found in pet messes and high-traffic areas

• Reduces allergens such as pet dander and dust mites that can trigger respiratory issues

• Neutralises odours at the source rather than just masking them

• Creates a safer environment for children, pets, and allergy sufferers

• Helps prevent re-soiling and odour recurrence from invisible bacterial residues

🧴 How to Use Dirtbusters Pet Pro – Dilution Made Simple

Our 1 Litre concentrate gives you professional-grade results and is compatible with all water-based carpet cleaning machines. The key is to match your dilution method to your machine type:

For Machines with a Single Tank (Combined Water & Solution)

• Dilution Ratio: 50ml of Dirtbusters Pet Pro per 1 litre of warm water

• Example: For a 2-litre tank, add 100ml of concentrate and top up with 1.9L of water

• Do not use undiluted in these machines — always pre-mix!

For Auto-Mix Machines (Separate Detergent Compartment)

Professional or high-end home machines often feature an auto-mix system that handles dilution internally.

• Use neat: Simply pour the undiluted Dirtbusters Pet Pro into the detergent compartment

• The machine will automatically mix it at the correct ratio during use — no measuring required!

🧽 Expert Tips for Brilliant Carpet Cleaning Results

Want to get the most out of your clean? Follow these pro tips:

1. Prep First with a Vacuum

Remove loose dirt, pet hair, and debris to allow deeper penetration of the cleaning solution.

2. Spot Treat Stains

For tough or older stains, pre-treat the area with a carpet-safe stain remover or pre-spray before full cleaning.

3. Use Warm Water (Not Hot)

Warm water helps activate the cleaning solution without damaging carpet fibres.

4. Go Slow and Overlap

Work in overlapping passes with your machine. Going too fast reduces cleaning effectiveness.

5. Ventilate for Faster Drying

Open windows or use fans to speed up drying and prevent musty smells.

6. Repeat for Heavily Soiled Areas

Pet accidents or high-traffic zones might need a second clean, but only once the carpet is fully dry.

🐕 Safe, Effective, and Pet-Loving

Dirtbusters Pet Pro is pet- and child-safe once dry, so you can feel confident knowing your home is both clean and healthy. Designed for real life with pets, it’s your go-to solution for regular deep cleans or emergency cleanups.
