RE: Cleaning Dog Poop Stains Off a Rug
These postings saved my rug! Most commercial solutions have not been satisfactory for me in the past. Dog diarrhea all over expensive wool rug. We use mostly "green" cleaners in our house, so wasn't sure if I'd get as good results. I mixed Seventh Generation liquid laundry deterg, Mrs. Meyer's Clean Day liquid dish soap, 20 Mules laundry booster, hydrogen peroxide and very hot water. After blotting up as much as I could with paper towels, I saturated the area with the solution and waited a couple of minutes. I then blotted up the area with cleaning rags. Already it was almost gone. I then used the solution to scrub the area, gave it a final wipe with a fresh wet rag and blotted the area again. No stain, no smell. Easiest cleanup I've had in 15 years of dogs :)

We have a St. Bernard who got diarrhea all over our cream carpeting at 2 am and had little stain remover products. Used hot water, peroxide, vinegar, and half capful of detergent. I first picked up what I could with paper towel. then started to blot area with solution. Next I scrubbed the area. I dried area with paper towel. Next I soaked my paper towel in the solution and saturated the area with the paper towel. Towel dried again and no trace left behind shockingly. There still is slight odor however but got the job done and will follow up with something tomorrow.

Thanks for the information. I used the hydrogen peroxide and white vinegar mixture. I let it set for about 3 minutes and used my Hoover Carpet Shampooer. It worked very well. It took a couple of times to get it all up due to it being set in as I was gone for a while. Just a side note. I was telling a friend of mine about the mixture and he said you can't leave it on too long as it will break down the fibers of the carpeting (as it would if you used it on clothes) and may cause damage. Thanks again!

While cleaning the house I started smelling a foul odor. I figured our puppy had something to do with it. She had very loose stool all over the carpet in our walk in closet, the stepped in it a brought it all into the bedroom. YUCK! Tried the equal part vinegar, hot water, and used a little bit of urine remover, worked like a charm. You may want to use something to cover up the smell though. Thanks.

I just had a similar problem when I went back in the house. What I thought was mud was poop from a malamute. I grabbed the simple green a paper towel. Worked like a dream.

I got a Bissell steam cleaner and it works wonderfully. Great investment and use it for just general clean up.

Go to your pet store and get some "Nature's Miracle." It works every time.
