How to get rid of pet odors in carpet

Are you tired of that awful after smell left by your furry friend in your carpet? Well I have found the solution! If you have a household steam cleaner, you can do it too! Does this Spark an idea?

Things You'll Need

  • 1/2 cup Pine Sol
  • 1/2 cup Downy, regular strength
  • 1/3 cup Household Ammonia
  • Hot tap water...... Depending on the size of your container, you may want to reduce the cleaners to 1/3 cup Pine-Sol and 1/3 cup Downy, and 1/4 cup of Household Ammonia

Instructions

    • 1

      Place the Pine-Sol in the container first, add some hot water slowly, then add Downy, again slowly adding more water in your steam cleaner liquid container.

    • 2

      Fill almost to the fill line on the container, allowing room for the ammonia.

    • 3

      Add the ammonia and put the lid on securely. Gently shake the container back and forth a couple of times, taking care not to make mixture bubble too much.

    • 4

      Place the container back into the steam cleaner and clean the carpet as usual. For really stubborn or older spots, go over it a few times, making sure to get as much of the moisture out as possible.

    • 5

      When finished, be sure to rinse the container until water runs clear, and place some hot water back into the tank. Run over the carpet or your tile floor a couple of times to clear the solution from the plumbing of the steam cleaner. Rinse and store your unit.

Tips & Warnings

  • The Downy adds an extra little 'punch' to lift the smell and you get nice soft carpet that's water resistant too!

  • If you can't use household ammonia, don't worry, the Pine-Sol and Downy do great by themselves.

  • NEVER leave this mixture in the tank of your cleaning machine.

  • Do a SPOT TEST to ensure color fastness before attempting.

  • PLEASE keep your pets away from the carpet until dry.

  • DO NOT mix these cleaners and store them together.
