How to Get Pet Oder Out

OMG we got a new puppy a couple of months ago and she did really well with potty training and crate training. We put her in her kennel before bed and she usually wakes me up at about 5am to let her out (that's to early for me to start my day) so I let her out to potty then when she is finished I put her back in her crate for about an hour and a half until I get up for the day, which has been fine until recently now she cries everytime I put her back in there.. so I tried just letting her stay out.. Well I have been waking up to a house full of wet spots. Now my house REEKS of dog urine...

Please please some one out there in mamma land tell me you have an answer. How do I get the smell out with out hiring one of those expensive cleaners to come out? I have heard that steam cleaning makes it worse does anyone know if that is true?

TIA!!!

You want a biological enzyme cleaner - you can buy them at pet smart or any similar store. Pick one, follow the directions - make sure to soak up the pee as best you can with a towel, then soak it with enzyme stuff to an inch or so outside the pee area (pm me if you want to know why) - and let everything air dry (takes a day or so).

The cleaner works real well around the base of the toilet and stuff, if your boys have problems with aim.

If you still notice smell, get a black light (some cleaners come with one - which is totally worth the cost). Turn out all the lights and treat the things that glow. When you've got it done and it dries, it shouldn't glow in black light.

I've used Nature's Miracle to get urine smell out of carpet. You can get it at PetsMart. It also works on other bodily fluids that animals might leave behind. Good luck!

Nature's Miracle.

It's an enzymatic cleaner. I like the idea of using a black light.

If you can catch it while it is still wet, soak up as much as you can with paper towels. Then spray a water/vinegar mix on the spot.
