Dog urine on Carpet

[ChiBree]

I'm wondering if anyone could recomend a carpet cleaner that WORKS on Dog urine smells on carpet.
I've tried items and then THINK the order is gone, but then come a humid rainy day....and bam, you smell it.

I have one room the dogs go to (to have their mistakes) and I just can't get the odor out. I don't know what else to do!

(I'd LOVE to pull the carpet and put in hard flooring BUT the carpet is new and so thats not going to happen

What all have you tried? I've had great luck with Nature's Miracle.

I use Out! Gets everything out, including blood.

The first thing to do is to block this room so they cannot soil in there again.

Then get professional carpet cleaning done.

From what you describe, it seems the urine has reached the carpet padding underneath your carpet. The only way to clean that or get rid of the smell is by steam cleaning or having a pro come out and do it.

If you dont clean up the urine in time, it seeps all the way down below the carpet and all the products out there just clean the surface area, not the pad below the carpet.

For the future, I have cleaned up urine in the following manner, even DRIED UP urine that is really reeking, with excellent results:

First, you need LOTS of terry cloth towels. if the spot is still wet, use terry cloth towels ( accept no substitute). Place the towel doubled on the spot, and walk on it until you can not extract any more urine.

Then pour carpet cleaner (I use Resolve) on the spot to make it as wet as it was originally. If you are starting with a dry spot, do this step first. Blot with towels again until you can't blot up any more liquid.

Then do 2 rinses (blotting with doubled towels, and walking on them to draw out the moisture), again, walking on the towels until you can't get any more moisture out.

Spots I have cleaned in this manner never had a residual smell, nor left any ring marks on the carpet.

I swear by Nature's Miracle (or Petastic) as well.

I've used Nature's Miracle too. And the best investment is a carpet steam cleaner...about $79.00 at Walmart. It sucks stuff up instead of rubbing it in with towels.

I have a Hoover and if I catch the mistake while its fresh I suck it up and procede with the cleaning. I just wondered if there was something I was missing.

As far as closing the bedroom door, they seem to find an alternate place. I never let them run around unsupervised but accidents do happen as they are not perfect. (and neither am I!!!) So I leave it open thinking if the accident does happen , I'd rather have it be in the same room, rather than all over the house.

It just doesn't seem to get the whole smell out!

There's some stuff at Wal Mart in a white and blue bottle made especially for pet stains and odor. I can't remember the name of it, but it has a dog on the front so you can't really miss it. It's down the cleaning aisle.

I did Redy's trick but with Nature's Miracle..... Frebreze helps when dry.

agreed..as long as that smell is there (they can smell a zillion times more then we can) it is like a GO SIGN for urinating. If a labrador can smell weed in a gasoline tanker there is not much you will ever do that will remove the odor where they cannot detect it. IT isn't new anymore, i would seriously think of replacing it.

I used everything you could think of, bought a heavy duty steam cleaner and the carpet still had a faint urine smell. I finally pulled ALL the carpet up in my house and did hardwoods and painted the concrete inthe bedrooms, its great! Seems like afer we removed all the carpet the boys never peed on the floor again - go figure!

that is what i have been trying to say for a year now..as long as the odor is there, you can huff and puff all you want, the smell says go here and they do.

I try to get most up with paper towels or a towel....I then saturate it with water and suck that up with the steam cleaner...the pour carpet cleaner solution on it and suck that up....then rinse and suck that up with the steam cleaner. I couldn't live without my steam cleaner with all of my animals.
