How Do You Get Pet Odor Out Of Your Carpet?
How do you get pet odor out of your carpet?
Any suggestions? My boyfriend and I got a puppy, and now that he’s house trained, I have to get this light “scent” out of the carpet before it drives me nuts!
BTW, I’ve used Brawn stain remover every time the little one had an “accident”, along with steam cleaning the carpets once already. His smell still lingers, however. Eh, gross.
I have a dog myself and I use a pet odor remover made by either Nature’s Miracle or Simple Solution. They contain bacterial enzymes that eat through the yucky organic stuff in your carpet (and it works for all sorts of other things, including vomit, feces, grass and grease stains, etc.) I also use it as a stain remover for my laundry when I have difficult stains. I would also strongly recommend the use of a black light to detect old stains and treat them because they are usually not visible to the naked eye. You have to do this at night ideally, and the black light highlights EVERY stain you have on your carpet. Just spray the pet odor remover product, saturate the carpet completely, and you’ll actually see the stain disappear before your very eyes. I have found that general stain removers don’t seem to do very much for pet odors. When buying a product, read the ingredient list and make sure that bacterial enzymes are on the list. Otherwise, the product will treat the stain but not the odor.

baking soda will usualy do it. thats what i used with my pets. pour it onto the mess, let it stay, and collect the odor, then vacumn off.
Spray the carpet several times with Febreeze
Did you steam clean the carpets yourself or did you hire a company to do it for you? A carpet cleaning business will probably have better means of getting pet odors out than those do-it-yourself rental cleaners.
You can spot clean and steam clean the carpets all day long but the source of the odor is actually in the pad and is several feet wider than the original accident that your pet had.
Hire a professional carpet cleaning service that is IICRC Certified for odor removal.
try using baking soda that is used for smoke and pets sprinkle it all over and let it sit for awhile than vacuum.
try glade carpet powder or arm and hammer they both have wonderful scents once you sprinkle it on the carpet it makes the whole room smell great. just leave it on for like an half hour then vacuum it. also try the plug ins. i have the tropical paradise its great.
