Pet pee can leave a lingering stain and foul odor on carpets, necessitating a complete cleaning. Here are some instructions for removing pet urine from carpet:
- Utilize a clean cloth to absorb as much pee as possible from the spot. Do not massage the urine stain, since doing so can spread the urine and make it harder to remove.
- In a spray bottle, combine equal parts water and white vinegar and apply to the afflicted region. Let it settle for 5 minutes.
- Reapply a clean towel to the stain to remove the vinegar solution.
- Combine 1 tablespoon of dish detergent, 1 tablespoon of baking soda, and 2 cups of warm water in a spray bottle. Ten minutes after applying the solution to the stain, let it sit.
- Again, blot the stain with a clean towel to eliminate the soap solution.
- Clean the area with clean water and a clean towel.
- Sprinkle baking soda over the stain and allow it to settle for several hours if possible overnight. To remove the baking soda, vacuum it up.
- Repeat the process if the stain or odor persists, or try using a professional pet urine cleaning.
- It is vital to act fast to prevent pet pee stains from settling and to avoid using hot water or steam cleaners since heat can permanently set the stain and odor. You should be able to successfully clean pet pee from your carpet by following these procedures.
