Accidents are likely to happen if you have dogs or puppies.If the dog urine soaked into your carpet, you may still smell it.If you want to get rid of the smell in your carpet, you can use a variety of household products.Your carpet will smell new once you finish it, no matter what method you choose.
Step 1: There is a spray bottle with water and white vinegar in it.
In a spray bottle, put 1 cup of distilled white vinegar and 1 Cup of warm water.Shake the solution to mix it thoroughly.Before using the spray bottle on your carpet, make sure the solution is sprayed in the sink.You can either buy a spray bottle or use an empty one.If you use a spray bottle that has something else in it, make sure to wash it out before adding the new mixture.You don't want to mess with your carpet.
Step 2: Put the mixture on the urine stain and let it sit for 15 minutes.
Pull the spray bottle over the carpet to apply the solution.If your carpet is completely saturated, coat it with the solution and let it soak in for 15 minutes.It works great on urine stains.Don't pat the vinegar dry just yet since it needs to soak into the pad underneath the carpet to completely eliminate the odor.
Step 3: The carpet needs to be cleaned up.
To soak up the liquid, use an old cleaning cloth or sponge.Make sure the carpet isn't soaking wet by working across the entire stain.When you are done, wash the cloth or throw it away.If you don't want to get anything on your hands while you're working, wear cleaning gloves.
Step 4: Baking soda is a good deodorizer for your carpet.
Put a thin layer of baking soda on top of the stain and press it into the fabric.Once the baking soda is applied, let it sit to pull out the odors from the carpet.The baking soda will form a thin crust on the carpet.If you are concerned about the change in the color of your carpet, you should test the mixture in a small area.Before sprinkling your favorite essential oil on, mix a few drops of it with the baking soda.Tea tree, lavender, and lemongrass oil are good choices.
Step 5: The baking soda needs to be vacuumed.
Lift the baking soda out of the carpet with your vacuum when it's completely dry.Baking soda can be found deep in the carpet if you go over the spot multiple times.If there is still a urine scent, you should smell the area that was stained.You can try another method if you still smell urine.
Step 6: Use hydrogen peroxide, dishwashing detergent, and baking soda.
Add hydrogen peroxide, liquid dish soap, and baking soda to a plastic bowl and stir it together.As they react with one another, the mixture will form a thick paste.When the mixture is thoroughly mixed, keep stirring it.Light-colored carpets are best for hydrogen peroxide to work.If you want to use it to clean dark carpets, you need to test a small amount on your carpet.You can use hydrogen peroxide on urine stains.
Step 7: Leave the paste on the urine stain for up to an hour.
You can spread the paste onto the urine stain by using a spoon.Press down on the paste to get the odor out of the carpet.After you spread the paste on the stain, leave it alone for at least 30 minutes and up to an hour.The baking soda and hydrogen peroxide react with one another and will trap the urine odor so your carpet doesn't smell.If you leave the peroxide for a long time, the odor will go away.
Step 8: Use a wet cloth to remove the paste from your carpet.
wring out the cleaning cloth from the water so it doesn't get wet.To remove the paste from the carpet, push the cloth firmly onto it.If you can't remove the paste from the stain, you have to wet the cloth.
Step 9: You can dry your carpet with paper towels.
Place a layer of paper towels over the wet spot and press down to absorb any leftover liquid after you remove the paste.The paper towel should not be wiped from side to side.If you don't want to use paper towels, you can use a cleaning cloth.
Step 10: Club soda should be poured over the stain.
If your carpet gets soaking wet, use a small amount at a time.Slowly pour the club soda over the stain so it can soak into the carpet.Once the stain is covered with club soda, sit it for about 10 minutes so it can penetrate the pad underneath.Club soda can be purchased from any grocery store.Club soda is best for urine stains.
Step 11: To clean the stain, use a cleaning cloth or sponge.
Set a cleaning rag on top of the stain and press firmly onto it to remove the soda.If the cloth gets too wet, wring it out or use another.Continue until most of the soda is lifted up.The urine smell will come back into the carpet if you wipe the stain back and forth.
Step 12: Use paper towels to dry the area.
Put 2 layers of paper towels on top of the stain to dry it.To absorb club soda from the carpet pad, push down hard with your hand.If you can't pull up any more liquid, keep pressing down on the entire stain.
Step 13: A refreshing odor can be obtained by spraying an air freshener on your carpet.
When you first remove the odor, you may have a stronger smell.Pick your favorite scent of air freshener or essential oil and spray it on your carpet to cover up any residual odor that the soda brought up.If you can still smell the urine after a few hours, you should mist your carpet.Since they kill odor-causingbacteria, look for air fresheners that eliminate odors.You may need to try a stronger method if you still smell urine.
Step 14: You can use paper towels to dry the urine.
Put a layer of paper towels over the stain and press the paper towel onto the carpet.The urine could get deeper into the pad if the carpet is not cleaned.The carpet needs to be kept dabbing until it is as dry as possible.Fresh stains are the best for enymatic cleaners to work on.The paper towel can be used to apply more pressure and absorb more liquid.
Step 15: The enzymatic cleaner can be sprayed on the stain.
You can get a bottle of commercial enzymatic cleaner at the supermarket.Place the bottle in the stain and spray it until the carpet is completely saturated.Dog urine is the subject of many pet stores' enzymatic cleaners.
Step 16: Put the cleaner in the carpet and let it dry on its own.
You can see how long the cleaner takes to work by looking on the bottle.The cleaner should absorb the odor into the carpet.Sniff your carpet when the time listed on the packaging passes.You may need to clean your carpet.
