Here is a simple way to remove dog or cat urine from your carpets. This is a beneficial tool when trying to potty train your cat or dog.

Difficulty: Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • salt
  • pet odor eliminator
  • Vacuum cleaner
  1. Step 1

    Purchase standard any table salt and an odor eliminator of your choice. The table salt can be any brand, I usually use the generic because it's cheaper and when training my pets, I use a lot of salt.

  2. Step 2

    Apply the salt to your urine soiled area. Use enough salt to completely absorb the urine. This will not work if the area has already dried.

  3. Step 3

    Wait 30 minutes to 1 hour before vacuuming the salted area. This will allow enough time for the salt to completely absorb the urine.

  4. Step 4

    Once area is completely vacuumed apply a pet odor eliminator according to the manufacturers instruction. You can usually find pet odor eliminators in any pet store, as well as grocery and discount stores.

Tips & Warnings
  • Once salt is applied if you notice some areas are darker add extra salt to the darker areas to make sure all urine is absorbed.
  • I find it more effective to use my vacuum's hose attachments when vacuuming the salted area.
  • Make sure the salt is completely dry before vacuuming.
  • You may want to test an area of your carpet before applying the pet odor eliminator.
