Is there a fool proof way to get pee smell out of the rug

little daisy — Tue, 31 Mar 2015 13:00:02 GMT

My older dog is starting to pee in the house, he is a bigger dog and I used vinagar, baking soda regular carpet cleaner and still the smell stays. If you have had good luck with something please let me know.

People have talked about some of those pee sprays and that XO spray too. Hopefully one of them will post to tell you which one worked.

I swear by the XO (Don Astlett) spray. The BEST that I have ever used!

drench, i mean down to the foundation, drench with Listerine. It never has failed me. The high price cleaner told me they used to use it but it was too expensive. I believe the Dollar store brand worked just as well. The dog also did not return to the "scene of the crime!"

This is why I had hardwood floors installed. Old cats would pee, and then there is the wonderful upsied hairballs. Now no cats, but two pups, and if one has an accident, I just wipe it up.

I have never heard of the Listerine before. Does it help with cat pee too? Any particular "flavor"? Then after it is drenched, do you just soak it up with towels? How long do you leave it for? I have tried a number of things

TIA

I don't know of any fool proof method, especially if the urine soaked through the pad. However, I've had very good luck with Nature's Miracle. It's a neutralizer that's sold in pet stores.

Sorry, cookin... I should have gotten back here sooner. I used to (when we had pets- dogs) soak the carpet down to the foundation... leave for a little while (a few hours) then use the old towel method where one actually steps on the towels to absorb any excess.

Perhaps it is advisable to try it where you can judge if it will remove carpet dye... but our carpet is light (a Dupont fiber that is coated or something) and it never changed color.

The following day I would take up the towels to let it all air-dry.

The Listerine I used was the goldish-brown original formula.

ETA: my experience is only with doggie stuff -- no experience with kitty pee pee

Buy a Hoover steam clean shampoo machine. You'll love it for those traffic areas too.

I have also used the Don Aslett's X-O for kitty accidents of both kinds, and it really does help with odor.

We buy it by the gallon from a local pet store in our area. I use it all of the time for other cleaning and deodorizing jobs, too. It is a great odor neutralizer for other odors, too.

New rug after dog has gone. I have tried everything and some stuff does better than other but really nothing works.

My daughter also has wood floors and she says the pee soaks in the cracks between the boards and it still smells. You don't have that trouble?

Nature's Miracle. You get it at a pet store or online. The BEST! Squirt it on(saturate) and let it dry. The smell will be gone.

I've tried several products mentioned here but the only thing I found that worked for us on both carpet and hard floors is the Febrese pet odor eliminator.
