Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to remove dog pee from a carpet:

Act Quickly

• The faster you address the accident, the better chance you have of preventing stains and odors from setting in.

Blot, Don’t Rub

• Use paper towels or a clean cloth to blot up as much of the urine as possible. Press down firmly without rubbing to avoid pushing the urine deeper into the carpet.

Rinse the Area

• Mix a solution of equal parts water and white vinegar or water and mild dish soap.

Apply the Solution

• Gently pour the solution onto the affected area. Avoid saturating the carpet; you want to dampen it, not soak it.

Blot Again

• Use clean paper towels or a fresh cloth to blot the area again, absorbing the solution along with the urine.

Rinse with Clean Water

• Rinse the area by blotting with clean, plain water to remove any remaining cleaning solution.

Use an Enzyme Cleaner

• Enzyme-based pet stain removers are effective at breaking down the urine enzymes that cause odors. Follow the product instructions for application.

Dry the Area

• Use a clean, dry cloth to blot the area once more, removing as much moisture as possible.

Deodorize

• Sprinkle baking soda over the affected area and let it sit for a few hours or overnight to help absorb remaining odors. Vacuum up the baking soda afterward.

Professional Cleaning (if necessary)

• If the stain and odor persist, consider professional carpet cleaning.

Remember to test any cleaning solution on an inconspicuous area of your carpet first to ensure it doesn’t cause discoloration or damage. Additionally, always follow the care instructions provided by your carpet manufacturer.
