Pets are an important part of our families, but they can also bring unwanted smells into our homes. If you're wondering how to get rid of pet odor or urine from your carpet, you're not alone.
Many pet owners in the Portland Metro Area struggle with this issue. We Oregonians love our cats and dogs!
Here are some tips to help you get rid of dog (and cat) smells in your carpet and keep your home smelling fresh and clean.
When the accident first happens, pour a cup of tap water on top to dilute the urine (bottles if you have hard water) and follow it up by applying pressure to a clean folded towel. This will absorb the liquid and help pull up the urine. Repeat the process another time or two and make sure to get the carpet as dry as possible with the last towel.
For old spots - Use Baking Soda: Put your pets in another room before beginning. Baking soda is a natural odor neutralizer that can help absorb pet odor from your carpets. Simply sprinkle baking soda over your carpet (when dry!) and let it sit for 30 minutes to an hour before vacuuming it up. Add essential oils if you have some to add a nice aroma as well.
Vinegar Solution: Another eco-friendly option is to use a vinegar solution to get rid of pet odor in your carpet. Mix one part white vinegar with three parts water in a spray bottle and spray the affected area. Let the solution sit for a few minutes before blotting it up with a clean damp cloth.
Enzymatic Cleaners: Enzymatic cleaners are specifically designed to break down pet urine and eliminate odor. They are available at most pet stores and can be an effective solution for pet odor in your carpet. Read here for our favorite product we recommend.
