Homemade Pet Stain and Odor Removal

RE: Homemade Pet Stain and Odor Removal Post By Deborah K. Millemaci (Guest Post) (09/04/2008) Are any of these remedies harmful to dogs or cats? And will they work on set-in stains? The reason I ask is that our shepard-chow is elderly and will sometimes "dribble" on the carpet. I just want to make sure she won't be harmed in any way.

I'm trying to find out if I can use vinegar in my carpet cleaner to do the whole carpet. Does anyone know for sure?

I have been covering the bed in a tarp and avoiding this since she started it two weeks ago, vet says there is nothing medically wrong, little box is clean but she must be mad about something. Any suggestions cause I don't want to sleep on a smelly bed and throwing out a brand new mattress just sucks.

I then filled my steam cleaner with 2 parts white vinagar to 4 parts hot H2O. I waited about 5 minutes and vacumed it up (with the steam cleaner) No smell..No stain. Hurray!!

I used it at wright patterson to clean up coffee stains on 4,000,00000 square feet of carpet. No, I didn't see the alien craft or ufos in the underground facility.

Using peroxide may possible work to remove stains and odor, however, you should test it in an area that normally can't be seen. Peroxide can also bleach out color.

Try to avoid walking on it before vacuuming it up and avoid hardwood floors.

It seemed to get the odor, but there is some staining left behind. I will probably try the baking soda mixture and see what happens. Worst case I'll buy some cleaner at the store. I have also found that it's good to rent the Rug Dr. every 6 months or so. I found it picks up any odor or stains, I can't get with spot cleaning, and it doesn't cost very much.

Then sprinkle on baking soda. Atop that put a dilute mix of white vinegar + water; about 1:4 is good here. These two items will bubble 'n fizz while it works. Let the stuff sit there several minutes, depending on how severe is your stain... you'll get better at deciding how long with experience. This gets rid of the smell and the stain. Repeat if necessary.

Mix it well. Put on stain and let dry. When it dries, brush off.

Report Spam or Abuse RE: Homemade Pet Stain and Odor Removal Post by irishkilbride (1) | (09/27/2005) Contact Using any plastic container (not metal) mix the solution as follows: 12 oz. 3% hydrogen peroxide 1/2 teaspoon ajax dishwashing liquid soap 1 1/2 teaspoon A & H baking soda Mix well using a plastic spoon (not metal). If you have a large area or more than one area to clean you may want to use a bigger bowl and mix enough solution according to your needs. Once it is mixed put into your empty plastic bottle. Always discard unused portion because the oxygen in the peroxide mixed with these other items can make it explode. You have to find all the old stains and odors because they give off an odor to your dog or cat that has them coming back to. If you have a black light shut off all the lights in your home and turn on the black light. The urine in the carpet or on the furniture will glow. Once you find the urine spots, then pour the solution evenly on the whole spot, making sure to saturate the carpet and the padding under the carpet ( you may want to do a spot test on your carpet or furniture first.) Once the whole urine area is saturated block it off to keep people or your pets from walking on it until it is completely dry. Do not blot up any of the formula because the stains need to be saturated thoroughly and then dry on its own. After it has dried, vacuum spot to remove any white powder left over from the baking soda. Scotch guarded carpet takes a while to absorb the liquid, but after it sits there awhile it will absorb into the carpet and padding. You may have to pour a little extra solution on this type of carpet. It may take a few days to clean room by room but it will be well worth it in the end. If you have large areas to clean you can even mix up enough of this to go in a carpet cleaner and clean all spots at once.

Sprinkle it on and let it sit for awhile before vacuuming. Report Spam or Abuse
