Help! My miniature schnauzer is getting so old he often relieves himself on my off white carpet. It is now off yellow all over from many "accidents". We try to take him out often, but he's just so old. Poor darling.
I have tried different pet stain removal products, but NONE of them really work. Has anyone had any real success with any special cleaner? I'll try anything. Thanks.
Hi Joye,
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.
Nature's Miracle works wonders on pet stains! You can get it pet stores.
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.
Joyce-I bought this recipe on ebay because I was desperate to get rid of pet stains/odors too. I have used it several times (even on cat urine) and have had success. I am glad to share it with you.

Pet odor and stain remover
Here's what you'll need....
MATERIALS:
12oz. Hydrogen Peroxide
16oz or greater PLASTIC bottle ( I find sport drink
bottles with pull up caps work the best)
2 teaspoons of Baking Soda
1 teaspoon of liquid dishwashing soap
Black light (optional, though recommended)
PROCEDURE:
First you need to make the solution. You can mix it
in a plastic bowl or right in your bottle. Pour all
the ingredients in and mix well with any type of
plastic utensil. I simply swish it around in the
bottle until all the ingredients are mixed
2. After you make the solution, you'll need to find
the stain (this is where the black light comes in if
you don't have one or know where the stain is then
skip to step 3) Turn off the lights
and use the black light to scan the area and find the
urine. It will glow under the black light. You may
have seen this procedure on TV when they investigate
dirty hotel rooms.
Now to clean the area (you may want to do a spot
test on your carpet though I have never had a problem
with this solution, the carpet may look lighter in
dirty areas because it has also removed the stain )
Pour your solution evenly on the affected area so it
gets deep into the carpet and underling pad.Allow to completely dry and vacuum area to remove
the baking soda!
Now your finished and the odor should be completely
gone. Your dog will not smell anything and so will not
urinate on the area again! You can use this solution
to get out tough stains, too. It can also be used in
the car!

Must say I agree with Hedi on this one.
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 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!
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.
The best spot remover I have ever found can not be found in any store. I bought if from a car detailing shop at whole sale price. It is what they use on the car carpets. It was 32 dollars a concentrated gallon but worth every penny and then some. It removes even car grease from my carpets, make up foundation, and walmarts famous red punch (generic crystal light) from my white counter tops even, yes I have messy kids, lol. Wonderful stuff. It is an emzine cleaner. Call around and ask to talk to a manager you might get lucky and they will sell you a gallon. Tell them your problem. Sweet talk them, lol 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.

Hi Joye,
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.
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.
Natures Miracle works best. Pour directly on stain, then blot, blot, blot. If urine color does not come up, leave on 5 min, then blot again. When dry, use water to take up excess cleaning fluid. Now, if that does not work-ue Oxyclean (mixed as directed on the bottle) and put a soaked rag on the stain and leave it for a few hours. Then blot. Then put a dry rag on stain and heavy item over it as a wick and leave it for a day.
I have found that Stanley Steamer is the best. Especially on white carpet. My boss and co worker referred them to me.

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!
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.
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.
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!
