Need Help with Carpet Pet Stains

Pet stains are not just "stains" - of course you don't want there to be a visible spot, but the most important thing is to get rid of the bacteria left from the urine, because that will keep your dog returning to the area. Their noses are hundreds times more sensitive than ours, so you need something that really works. Spot Bots and Oxyclean won't cut it when you're dealing with a pet stain. I recommend Nature's Miracle or some other enzyme cleaner. You need an enzyme cleaner because the enzymes will actually eat away the bacteria. There is no other way to get rid of it, and our noses will not tell us if it's truly clean. When you do use the Nature's Miracle, you need to completely saturate the area, cover it with an upside-down laundry basket or something that will let the air in, and then leave it alone for 3 weeks. It takes a lot of time! If after 3 weeks you still notice a smell, repeat the process but don't keep soaking it before the 3 weeks is up. Trust me, this is the only way. And as for the stain itself, maybe with an old dog and two grandchildren in the house, it's time to go from white carpet to beige ;) Good luck! Ask a vet if you have any questions, they'll know what to do.

Oxyclean has worked for us with spots on our carpet and couch. They say it may fade colors but since your carpet is white you wont have to worry. It did work wonders in getting out stains. I even use it in the laundry.
Good luck

Hi J.,
I currently shop with an online store and one of the products that they have is called Solumel, and it works awesome with pet stains. I have two big dogs and a 17 month old, so trust me I know about stains. If you live in my area, I can give you what I have to try out and see if it works for you. If it works, then I can tell you how you can get it yourself.
Let me know!
I live in Plainfield.

I have cats, and one is a barfer. I broke down and bought the Bissel Spot Bot, and have not regretted it one minute! The Bissel pet stain remover works great with the machine. You literally just place the machine over the stain, turn it on, and then it does all the work for you.

Another cleaner that I like is Oreck's pet stain remover.

Good luck, and I hope that this helped a little!

i work at an animal hospital and the best results that we have seen either personally or from client recommendations are natures miracle, or an enzyme cleaner, some animal hospitals sell these both.

Try a product called Pettastic.

Must say I agree with Hedi on this one.

why not try doggie diapers??? As far as stains I have used resolve pet stain remover. But that is for the new stains. I just had my carpet professionally cleaned to get the old ones out.

Hi J.,
I get my products through a wellness company that have a great stain removal product. This would also be safer for you,your dog, and the environment. If you are interested get in touch with me. Good luck!

There is a cleaner made by Bissell called Lickety Split that is superb for spots. Perhaps it would work for this too. I would call some of the vacuum stores in Bloomington cause they don't carry it at the one here in Bedford.
It has been wonderful for my carpet and I have a 3 year old who has oopsies all the time.

Get some Bizz laundry detergent powder. Make a cleaning solution of it and spray it on with a water bottle, leave for a couple hours and then take up with a carpet cleaner. It works on lots of stains, even if they are old!

Just go to Petsmart or Petco and Get Nature's Miracle or Petzyme which is cheaper. It has all natural enzymes that removes stain and odors. You pour the liquid over the pee stain and let it soak for about 20 minutes and them blot it out. I have a puppy who has accidents and it really works. I also use Woolite Pet Oxygen on other pet stains.

We bought a Spotbot by Bissell and it works great, like a little robot--you pretreat the stain, put the machine over the area and it does all the work for you.

Try Capture. It comes in a white tub and there is a spray to go with it I think. It works great. Good Luck.

I grew up with dogs, and now I have two cats, so I've dealt with many a pet-related accident. I would try vinegar--that usually gets rid of the smell, and the vinegar smell doesn't last. I've also used Nature's Miracle, which you can get at PetSmart, and that sometimes works as well.

Spot Shot takes all of my stains away. I have 2 kids and 5 cats!! My husband could be considered a kid sometimes as well! lol You can get it anywhere. Follow it up with a pet urine smell remover at any pet store.

A dog trainer told me when I was training our then puppy, to pour white vinegar on it, dab it in with a towel then lay the towel over the spot and put something heavy on top of it, like a book or two and let it sit for awhile, at least over an hour or two. He said that the vinegar will soak up the urine over time. And this really did work well for me and we had cream colored carpet. Good luck!

I have found that Stanley Steamer is the best. Especially on white carpet. My boss and co worker referred them to me.

Hey J., You might try liquid oxy clean mix with a little water. Dab area to see if it works. It has worked for some of my toughest stains before. Good Luck.

I had issues with my dog going in the house also. I don't have a particular favorite cleaner, but I can tell you not to use a steam cleaner.
The heat sets the stain and smell. If you do use a steam cleaner use cool water.
Good luck!

Hi J.,
I haven't personally tried this but this is ONE of the tips I got from typing "pet stain removal" on google. If this don't work maybe go back and check google as there were lots of links to "solutions" to remove the stains.

How to Remove Urine Stains From:
Alabaster, Marble

Wipe the stain with a cloth or sponge dipped in warm sudsy water. Rinse well and wipe dry. If a stain persists, soak an absorbent pad in rubbing alcohol and apply to the stain after wringing nearly dry. Wait 5 minutes, then apply an absorbent pad that has been soaked in ammonia and wrung nearly dry. Alternate alcohol and ammonia pads until stain has been removed. Wipe surface with a cloth dampened with clear water and dry with a soft cloth.

The ONLY thing that works for me you can get at target, walgreens, meijer etc.... It is the woolite pet + oxygen stain remover. It is fantastic!!!!

I use Shout on EVERYTHING! When my dog was having accidents I sprayed on the area and scrubbed with a dry towel and magic it was gone. good luck!

Nature's Miracle works wonders on pet stains! You can get it pet stores.

Don't they make doggy diapers for older dogs?
Ask your vet.
