Steps to Get Rid of Pet Urine in Your Carpet

- Mix a 50/50 solution of white vinegar and water and apply to the carpet, working the mixture deep into the fibers with a brush. Soak up the water and vinegar using the paper towel method.
- Sprinkle baking soda over the area when it’s dry.
- Mix ½ cup of 3% hydrogen peroxide with a tablespoon of dish soap (i.e., Palmolive, Dawn, etc.; NOT what you use inside your dishwasher). Pour or spray this mixture on top of the baking soda.
- Dry the area thoroughly with paper towels. Vacuum up the baking soda, using a cleaning brush to loosen up chunks if needed.
Stay Away From…
- Steam cleaners: The heat will actually bond the protein from the urine into your carpet’s synthetic fibers and set the stain and odor permanently.
- Cleaners with strong odors: Not only will these only mask the odor from your pet’s urine, but they may push your pet to mark the strange-smelling spot with his urine again.
