Comments on: How to Clean Pet Stains With Household Products

on 10/17/2007 after reading these and other cleaning comments, I have found a mixture and process which I am pleased with as it removes old stains and leaves the carpet with a fresh, pleasing odor.

In a bucket, I mix 1 part water, 1 part white vinegar, 1/2 part 3% hydrogen peroxide, several squirts of a household detergent and a dash or two of Arm & Hammer Pet Fresh Odor Eliminator (basically baking soda). I got a sturdy long-handled brush with long plastic bristles from Smart and Final which makes it easy to brush the mixture into the carpet. I either follow up with my Bissell shampooer or use my vacuum after the carpet drys. So far, I have been quite happy with the results although I think I will still have to repeat it from time to time in the worst areas

on 3/8/2007 I have a huge problem, i had a baby 11 months ago, ever since he started getting up and moving around, my dog wants to urinate in his bedroom. well i have stopped the reurination problem, but now my sons carpet is really stained and his bedroom smells awful. I have used a bissel carpet cleaner over and over again with numerous chemicals. nothing seems to work, in fact since I have scrubbed the surface, the stains and oder have gotten worse. I have tried Natures Miracle, soda water, baking soda, as well as plain water. does anyone know of any thing else that will not harm my baby not to mention hurt the carpet worse than what it already is?

on 3/7/2007 outstanding tips...thank you all!!

on 2/12/2007 The best product I have used for pet stains is a product I get at
Petsmart called Pet Savr.
I had a stain that I had tried 2
other products on with no success.
I sprayed Pet Savr on it and it
was gone in seconds. The stain was
over two years old.
It's the best I have used and I have used many.

on 12/27/2007 One of the BEST products I have ever used to remove all pet stains
is called Pet Savr. I get it at
Petsmart. It is fabulous on carpet
and upholstery stains.
I had a stain that I had tried 3 other products on and had been there for almost two years. It
came out within seconds.

on 12/27/2007 I used Spot Shot on the urine stain. I then blotted, and followed up with a mixture of 1/2 water and 1/2 white vinegar. This has worked on really old stains as well. No stain, no odor left behind!

on 8/8/2006 My roommate's dog (who was banished) urinated all over my living room carpet for 3 months straight. It is stained an almost orange color.(originally grey). I tried everything to get it out. I rented a professional carpet machine, special carpet shampoo for pets, anti icky poo, baking soda etc. they all failed. I read about the product "Get serious" in a book. I bought a small bottle to test it out, not expecting much. I followed the directions on the bottle and my jaw dropped to the floor, it actually worked, even on the nastiest grossest parts. I will be purchasing a gallon tonight at Petsmart.

on 10/1/2007 You can get 20 Mule Borax in the detergent aisle and it's extremely cheap, and best of all it works. For an old urine smell, you may have to pull the carpet back (which is what I did and it most certainly worked but you can try on top first), slightly dampen the area then cover the padding and floor with the powder and allow to dry then vacuum up. For fresh urine blot up as much as you can then cover it with salt and the 20 Mule Borax powder and allow to dry then vacuum up. Test for color fastness, of course, but I used it on extremely dark burgundy carpet and it didn't discolor it at all. I tried about everything and this is what worked.

on 7/22/2007 I have a cat that decided to poop (twice) in the middle of my Laura Ashley white shag rug. I was so upset (this rug cost me over $800). The last thing I wanted to do was throw it out. There was no way I would have people over, just in case they sat down and smelled something nasty.

We tried many things products from home and pet stores, nothing worked. We thought we would try one more product before throwing out the rug. Natures Miracle is that product. It worked amazingly well the first time, after all the other products were used.

Two months later, it happened again. I picked up the feces and then just soaked the area with Nature's Miracle. I was amazed! Odor gone!

Don't waste your money or time. Go get Natures Miracle right away! You won't be disappointed.

on 3/22/2006 GoJo Orange Hand Cleaner did the job. I tried the dish soap and water suggestion, then tried the vinegar and blotting, but I could not get the carpet clean. The odor remained and the carpet just did not feel clean.

GoJo Pumice Hand Cleaner did the trick, almost immediately; the odor was gone!

I squirted some GoJo directly on the carpet; then used a small brush and warm water to work the GoJo into the area. Blot with a clean towel. I then used a small space heater to dry the area thoroughly. The degreaser in the GoJo seemed to be what worked the best.

on 12/27/2007 I picked up a bottle of Awesome orange degreaser from the dollar store and used it and that did the job. No more odor.

on 1/18/2006 First, soak up all urine possible with a clean white towel. Have a mixture already made up of 1 part white vinegar to 3 parts clean water. Flood the stain with this mixture and soak right back up with dry, white towels until you can't get anymore up. I then put a clean, white towel on the spot and everyone that walks by can step on the towel to keep removing the moisture.

on 11/22/2005 I tried a number of cleaning products and even strong detergent and the odor wouldn't go away. Finally, I sprayed Simple Green (without diluting it) and let it soak into the concrete. Now all I smelled was the Simple Green. I let it sit. I didn't mind having to put up with the strong wintergreen type of scent for several days until that dissipated. I thought once the smell was gone that the cat odor would return. To my surprise, it worked like a charm. The odor was completely gone and I was completely relieved. It did not even leave a green stain on the concrete.
