Dogs and cats may be part of the family, but the messes they make can sometimes test our patience. If your beloved pet just couldn’t wait and urinated on your carpet, the potent, noxious odor may prompt you to grab your steam cleaner to tackle the stain. Don’t! Using a steam cleaner to treat urine stains isn’t a good idea. The high heat from steam equipment can set the stain and the odor for good. Here’s how to get pee stains out of carpet the right way.
Here’s what you’ll need:
- Clean white cloths or paper towels
- White vinegar
- Cool water
- Baking soda
- Hydrogen peroxide
Absorb and Blot
Soak up the urine stain using paper towels or a dry cloth. Press firmly into the stain to absorb as much urine as possible. Switch to another dry cloth and blot up the remaining urine.
Clean
Mix white vinegar and cool water in equal parts in a small bowl. Pour the vinegar and water solution onto the urine stain to saturate it. Using a scrubbing brush, work the stain solution deep into the carpet, scrubbing vigorously. For most stains, scrubbing isn’t recommended, but this is one time you’ll need to. Let the stain remover sit for about 10 minutes. The white vinegar will clean the area and neutralize the ammonia in the urine. Sprinkle enough baking soda to cover the damp area completely.
Dry
Once the baking soda has absorbed excess moisture and dried, vacuum it up. Use a dry cloth to absorb remaining moisture.
