Simple Strategies For Eradicating Pet Odor From Carpets


I don’t really like it when I come in somebody’s home and I’m assaulted by smelly pet odor. You cannot smell it since you are already accustomed to it but keep in mind your visitors certainly can, trust me! If you dont want your dog to spend lonely nights outside your house then you better be able to get rid of pet odor. Considering that animals spend considerable time lounging and rolling on the floor, their body odors work their way the fibers and thats where the whole issue gets started. You’ve also got to consider the smell of pet accidents!

Talking about pet accidents, obviously the very first thing you have to do is to deal with it right away. If your four-legged friend has urinated on your carpeting, pat the vicinity dry as soon as you can. The faster the urine is removed, the less damage it will create for your carpet. Pile up a bunch of paper towels and then stand on them for about a minute or so, make sure to get as much off the carpet as you can.

If you have a carpet cleaner or stain removing liquid go ahead and begin using that to get rid of staining. Cleaning products that are designed for pet odor removal are recommended for this job as they should have less of a chemical smell like ammonia. Ammonia plus urine doesnt smell good Im telling you! Also, the smell of ammonia could possibly encourage your pet to keep using the same place.

There can also be the problem of solid waste. Merely cleaning up the solid waste and wiping the spot isnt enough. Give the soiled spot a careful cleaning. Vinegar works great for this process, it also acts as a deodorizer because of its odor eliminating and anti-bacterial properties. It’s also possible to use a mild dish soap to eliminate the stain and freshen up the area. Once you’re finished removing the spot completely, rinse it by blotting with a damp white cloth or paper towel.

For deep cleaning, you can use a wet vac or Bissel. These types of special vacuum cleaners work like regular ones except they use clean water to get rid of the stains and then the dirty water is sucked up into a reserve chamber.

Finally, use a neutralizing or pet odor eliminating spray to maintain things fresh in between vacuuming or cleaning. You can also try sprinkling pet odor carpet powder prior to vacuum-cleaning to remove undesired odors. Ive tried it and the carpet is actually odor-free within minutes!
