I have two puppies. Every now and then I catch them peeing on the carpet! I try to clean it up as soon as I see it, but there are times when I don't catch them. The bedroom is really bad because they go at night when I am sleeping and cannot let them out!
It's making my apartment smell really bad! I don't even like to have company over because of the smell! Its horrible. I've tried everything! It just won't come out. The last product I used just made my carpet all stiff and hard, so now I'm trying to figure out how to fix that! Can someone please help me?

Is it wall to wall carpet or not? Forget the over the counter stuff - good old white vinegar and some woolite. It takes some work and a lot of little towels. You also need to use a lot of water. If it is wall to wall carpet, soak it with water first. I soak one of the towels with a lot of water to get it into the carpet. Then get that water up with another towel. Then, use water with the soap (over and over again)...then soak it with water again, then use the white vinegar.
Soak spots with full strenght hydrogen peroxide. Let it work until it stops foaming. Blot up with old towels, or give it a good shampoo.
While the spot is still wet press out the excess urine with paper towels. put on lots of baking soda/bicarbonate of soda on the spot (enough to soak up all the liquid). Try putting peppermint oil(which you can get at a health shop) in the areas that you don't want your dogs to use as a toilet. Thy won't go there as they don't like the smell. No need to crate if the pooch is properly house trained and if you use the peppermint oil in the places he/she shouldn't go then it will be easy to clean(ex.
Anyway, back to the cleaning; after the baking soda has dried you can just vacuum the spot to get all the powder out. The baking soda is easy to use and cheap. It soaks up the urine and eliminates the smell.
I would like to inform people who need their pet stains out of carpets the way I did mine:
My sons room was so horrible from his puppy we got him, the puppy urinated all over his room, in every corner and all over under his bed, I tried all the pet odor carpet shampoo and nothing worked, I read up on the vinegar and water trick, tried it all and still didnt work so I made my own home remedy by mixing up other people remedies so here it is...
I put 1/4 cup of white vinegar, 1/4 of pet odor shampoo of any kind (but with a great scent), and the I added in 1/3 cup simple green (yes the stuff you clean counter tops with, if you read the back it says it works on pet stains) and I added a few squirts of dish soap (any kind really), I used sun sations apple scent with the oxy cleaning power. Then add it all into a gallon of water, spread it over the area in which is covered in pet urine, scrub it with a scrub brush, let it soak for about 20 minutes so it can work its way down in the fibres and pad, and then use your shampooer to get all the water and cleaners out! This really works! I am so relieved that my son can sleep in his own room again!
We had old pet urine stains in one our guest bedroom. After trying everything under the sun, we found that using Tide HE with Fabrize got those pet stains out.
The first thing you need to do is crate those dogs at night! Do some research on crate training. It's potty RIGHT before bed, into the crate, stay there overnight. Dogs don't really like to sleep where they potty so the crate needs to be small enough that they can't get out of it is they do it. As far as the floor is concerned, everybody has a treatment of choice. Mine is Nature's Miracle. You've got to ERASE the odor or they will continue to go in the same spots.
Hi,
first of all crate your dogs at night. it's really not that horrible as dogs like to "den-up" when they sleep. second, you can try white vinegar on the spots (soak it well and cover with large sheets of plastic with some weight on them, it helps push the vinegar into the subfloor. The tiny spot spreads widely under the carpet and soaks into the pad and subfloor. we're talking about old urine smells and stains) the fragrance will disappear in a few days.
