Tearing it out yourself really isn't that much trouble. The worst part is finding somewhere to move your furniture in the meantime. Aside from that, it would only invovle getting a starting point near the baseboard and peeling it back. Then you would have to use a utility knife to cut the pad and carpet small enough so you could carry it out of your house.
Generally, you can clean pet stains out of carpet, especially if they are scotch guarded first. It is when urine soaks through tot he padding that you can't clean it up and you have lingering odors. They do make a special padding that is plastic coated for pets--the mess wouldn't soak all the way though, but it is quite a bit more than regular padding. |
