on 11/2/2009 The only way to get any water stain out of wood is to sand the stain out, stain it again (wood stain), then apply new clear coat to the area. you can get these materials at any hardware store. shouldn't take you but a few minutes of work but (VERY IMPORTANT) you must allow the wood stain time to set in and dry before you apply the clear! The new clear coat will eliminate the smell.

on 10/13/2008 The best products I have found for removing pet stains and odors are available from Go Glo Home Products at http://www.goglo.com
Their products are all natural and much safer than the retail products available from your local pet product supplier. Try P.A.W.S and Bio-Ox concentrate, these products are amazing and much more affordable than any retail products I have found.

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 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.
