pet stain

Animal accident mark

A pet stain is a discoloration left on carpet, upholstery, or other surfaces by animal urine, feces, or vomit.

The term appears most often in cleaning product marketing and household maintenance contexts, where removing pet stains—and their lingering odors—is a common concern for pet owners.

The carpet cleaner promises to eliminate even old pet stains.
