      Once you've found the areas to be treated you'll need to sprinkle Baking Soda on all the stains and rake into the carpet getting it down to the bottom of the carpet and into the padding. If your carpet really smells let it sit for a day or two, otherwise let it sit for 2 hours. The baking soda breaks down the enzymes in the urine and binds it to help relieve the carpet from smells.

      Once the baking soda has been on the carpet, simply vacuum it up. If the smell still persists, repeat the steps again. If the smell still persists, the problem could be deep into the padding and the underlying slab. You may have to call a professional to pull up the carpet and padding and treat the underlying slab or wood floor.
