Pet Odors are the worst thing whe it comes to having a pet from the smell of there fur to the accidents they have on the carpet. I have came up with a easy way of getting rid of the odors.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • vinegar
  • dawn dishwashing liquid
  • your favorite detergent(liquid)
  1. Step 1

    If your using a shampooer you mix 1/2 cup of vinegar, dawn and detergent then fill the rest with water and shampoo your carpet. Repeat until the carpet is clean

  2. Step 2

    If you don't have a shampooer just mix in a spray bottle and spray on the areas that need it and wipe up with a cloth. It is best to shampoo though.

  3. Step 3

    Let dry spray your favorite carpet foam freshner or febreeze and your carpet and house will smell very fresh and clean.

Tips & Warnings
  • Shampooing does better then anything with this mixture.
  • Do not use chemicals to clean up urine stains that makes the pet go back to that spot.
