have a 900.sq ft condo. I am going to rent a Rug Doctor to clean the carpet in my hallway,my living room and my bedroom. I have a 3 yr old shih tzu who has unfortunately, peed on the carpet and has had an accident or two in the bedroom.
I plan on using the wide trac machine, seems faster..Any helpful hints/tips ,please? I’m also thinking I should buy their odor remover bio enzyme technology to put in the machine and oxy steam cleaning solution? Any helpful tips… if you have ever tried to clean your carpets before due to pets, would be helpful and appreciated!
Get the pet stain and odor remover from the pet dept of the grocery store or walmart. Use that on all the stains 24 hrs before using the rug dr. After cleaning the carpet go over it again with 25/75% white vinegar($2.50 gal in grocery store)and hot water. This will eliminate odors and get rid of any residue on the carpet.
Follow the directions on the pet stain and odor remover. It contains enzymes that "eat" the pet urine. Be sure to let it soak into the padding.
I hosed out the carpet really well and then dried it all. I then put lots of pet odor remover and also febreeze. It does not smell awful but you can still smell it. I would just like some advice on how to fix this.
You need a cleaner with enzymes. If it still smells bad then try a professional detail shop.
i’ve been using hartz pet stain& odor remover but he still pees in the same place every day and i’ve found that he’s peed on my bed twice.
take him out for a walk might be a good idea….
My cat peed on my carpet and on the baseboard. I rented a carpet cleaner and also a pet enzyme odor remover. The smell is still there any suggestions would be appreciated.
It will ALWAYS be there. Sorry. Nothing will get rid of it alltogether!!!!!!!
The cat can still smell it too and MAY go there again!!!!
Has anyone’s carpet actually been ruined by vinegar? Also, I heard that Stink Free Instantly works. Does anyone know anything about it? My carpet reeks and I have used an odor and stain remover 4 times and it hasn’t worked at all.
To remove the smell of urine from just about anything, first clean it with some sort of soap or kitchen cleaner. Then clean it with lemon juice. If you don’t like the smell of lemon juice follow it up with a little bit of vanilla extract. One of the most effective formulas I’ve found for removing ANY odor was from Popular Science Magazine. Mix 1 quart of Hydrogen Peroxide, with 1/4 cup of Baking Soda, and one tablespoon of liquid dishwashing soap. Saturate the affected area, rinse thoroughly with clean water, and the smell is gone. This is non-toxic and safe for your animals and children, and those with allergies. This is especially helpful for removing skunk odor from your outdoor animals. As always, test a small portion of fabric for color fastness, before treating a large area.
What Won’t Work… There are many home remedies for treating pet stains and odors, and let me stress that most of them are not too bad as far as removing odors for humans’ noses. Vinegar, ammonia, baking soda, laundry detergents, lemon juice, fabric softeners, and commercial strength pet stain removers are all great for removing the odors that humans can smell. However; you will need more to remove the odor for your cat’s nose. An enzymatic cleaner is the best answer, but it is slow and may take more than one application. (Nature’s Miracle is one of them.) The Hydrogen Peroxide/Baking Soda combo is fast, but can alter the colors of some fabrics. In the end, you must decide which application is best for your situation.
Even if you clean a pet stain with soap and water certain micro-organisms remain behind and your pet can smell them. Enzymatic Cleaners are designed to completely eliminate the source of the odor by using enzymes to eat away the micro-organisms that cause the odor. The one drawback to these cleaners is that they are slow; it could take several weeks for them to completely eliminate an odor. Enzymantic Cleaners are available at most pet stores, organic/natural/health food stores, and even some hardware stores. You can also ask your vet for suppliers.
