17 proven ways to remove dog urine smell from carpet at home

A small puppy or an adult dog can urinate indoors. They do this on the floor or on furniture. You should know what means you can use to remove the unpleasant smell of urea and from childhood teach your pet to urinate in a diaper, in a litter tray, etc. Don’t forget to take him outside regularly, at about the same time, and the house will be in order.

Those who are just planning to get a dog should understand that they are responsible for the health and life of a living creature. Puppies, sick, untrained and old animals can relieve themselves at home. You should know how to quickly get rid of the unpleasant smell of urine.

The easiest way is to immediately clean up after your pet. There are different ways to combat fresh and old odors. Let's take a closer look at them.

General recommendations

The smell of dog urine is very persistent, so getting rid of it is not so easy. It is recommended to wipe the stain immediately after it appears, otherwise the smell will be absorbed into the surface and remain on it for a long time.

Important! Do not pour perfume, lotions or other perfume products onto the stain, otherwise the odors will mix and become more unpleasant and at the same time persistent.

Under no circumstances should gasoline be used to combat unpleasant odors. Such a stain will take a very long time to disappear, and sometimes the smell only intensifies over time. There is also no need to pour water into the resulting puddle. A large stain will be more difficult to remove.

Have you ever removed the smell of dog urine from your carpet?

Not really

When removing stains, you should follow simple but at the same time important recommendations:

1. Work only with rubber gloves. This will protect your hands from getting aggressive components on them. It is also recommended to apply a rich cream to your hands before cleaning.
2. It is better to keep the windows open while cleaning. This manipulation will not only enhance the removal of urine odor, but will also cope with the evaporation of the chemical components that are used for cleaning.
3. All products should be left on the contaminated surface exactly as long as indicated in the instructions. This is especially true for chemicals. You should not allow them to dry on the surface, otherwise their remains will be difficult to remove later. But home remedies, on the contrary, are left until completely dry.

Basic cleaning rules

When you get a puppy, you take on certain obligations. Until your pet has grown up, received the necessary vaccinations and has not adjusted to the walking schedule, you may encounter puddles and stains from them on the carpet, parquet, linoleum and other places.

You should not be angry with an animal; this is a common situation in the process of growing up. Help your pet quickly adapt to new conditions and get used to their new place of residence and routine. If you find it difficult to accustom your animal to certain rules on your own, contact the services of dog handlers. Experienced specialists will help solve the problem and give useful advice on raising a dog.

Do not scold or under any circumstances hit your four-legged friend. This behavior does not contribute to establishing a trusting relationship between the owner and the pet.

The time will come, and your pet will obediently wait for a walk and fulfill its natural needs in the yard. Until that time comes, we recommend that you familiarize yourself with the basic rules for eliminating specific contaminants:

1. If your pet makes a puddle on the carpet or other textile surface, do not wipe the “accident” area with a wet rag. Doing this will only make the situation worse and allow the stool to be absorbed deeper. Instead of soaking the stain, use paper napkins, toilet paper, or a piece of dry cotton cloth.
2. There is no need to remove urine stains from the carpet with rubbing movements, this will only drive the liquid deeper into the pile, and removing the smell will be very problematic. Wipe away puddles using a blotting motion, being careful not to touch the area around the dirt.
3. Unlike cat urine, dog urine does not have a pronounced pungent odor, but it still exists. Therefore, try to remove traces of your pet’s mistakes immediately, without delay. Remember that old stains are always more difficult to remove.
4. Before using detergent, test it on a small, out-of-sight area of ​​the floor. This way you will protect yourself from unpleasant surprises.
5. If your pet urinates on hardwood or laminate flooring, wipe up the puddle immediately. Long-term exposure to urine will have a negative impact on wood or laminated boards. Do not allow urine to soak into the surface of the flooring, as this can cause deformation of the wooden elements.
6. If you smell a persistent smell of urine in the room, but cannot find its source, we recommend that you purchase a special ultraviolet flashlight. In the dark, shine it on all possible places in the room. UV light will make urine stains more visible, and you can remove them using one of the following methods.

In veterinary stores you can easily find special products designed to eliminate stains and odors. However, there are many folk methods that millions of housewives successfully use at home.

First of all, we want to note that there is a difference between fresh old stains. The methods of cleaning them and the products used also differ. Let's take a closer look at two situations.

Some useful tips

1. Before removing the smell of urine from a carpet using household chemicals, you should carefully prepare: put on gloves, a protective respirator, and remove children and animals. It is important to clean in a well-ventilated area to prevent chemicals from harming your health;
2. In some stores you can find special products for removing urine odor. Follow the instructions when using them.
3. To prevent a small puppy from getting the rug wet, place a special oilcloth under it and lay a diaper on top.
4. Don't leave wet marks. Always dry them with a hairdryer or iron. Moisture will promote the appearance of mold and unpleasant odors.
5. Do not use fragrances such as perfume, coffee, parsley, etc. They will only cover up the unpleasant odor for a short time, and the mixture of the aromas of urine and perfume is not very pleasant.

Preparatory stage

Important! Before cleaning, you need to assess the scale of the work. Find all the stains that are on the carpet.

Usually, after emptying, there are no visible marks left on the carpet. Therefore, you will have to identify “evil” places by smell, or... we offer several options for action:

1. buy a UVA lamp (rental options are available);
2. turn it on at night, walk over the entire surface of the carpet, illuminating every square meter with it;
3. at one point an orange spot will become noticeable or a pronounced light green color will appear.

Using a UV lamp you can reveal invisible stains.
Since dogs are not very selective, there will most likely be traces among the room. Therefore, you immediately need to explore visible and easily accessible places.

First you need to find all the stains that are on the carpet.

The best cleaning products for home use

There are many proven effective ways to combat the smell of urine on carpets. Let's talk about the simplest, most convenient and at the same time effective.

Hydrogen peroxide, table vinegar, soda and liquid soap

First of all, the area of ​​contamination is generously sprinkled with soda, which is lightly rubbed into the carpet.
Then 50 ml of hydrogen peroxide, the same amount of table vinegar and a teaspoon of liquid soap are mixed in a container. Everything is thoroughly dissolved and poured into a container with a spray bottle. The finished mixture is sprayed over the stain for several hours, not allowing it to dry completely.

Potassium permanganate

A weak solution of potassium permanganate helps in the fight even against old stains. Apply the solution to the dirty area, allow it to completely absorb, and then wipe the stain with a soft sponge. After absorption, the stain is also cleaned with warm water.

Lemon acid

Citric acid will help wash the carpet from dirt and give the carpet a pleasant aroma. It is capable of corroding ammonia and urea salts. Citric acid must be diluted in water (the components are taken in the same ratio).

Use the prepared product to wipe the stain. For full effect, the procedure will need to be carried out 2-3 times. To enhance the effect, add baking soda to the solution - you should get a thick paste.

REFERENCE! Citric acid can be replaced with freshly squeezed lemon juice. But before use, it is diluted with water in equal proportions.

Citric acid will also help in cleaning the dishwasher, iron and coffee machine from scale.

Alcohol and vodka

Liquids containing alcohol dissolve ammonia and urea. It is thanks to these properties that alcohol or vodka removes stains and unpleasant odors. It is recommended to distribute alcohol-containing liquids using a spray bottle.

Shampoo, ammonia and washing powder

A mixture of ammonia and washing powder removes even old stains and persistent unpleasant odors well. First, a small amount of ammonia is applied to the stain and left in this state for three hours.

Afterwards, the stained carpet is soaped with a mixture of shampoo and washing powder (you should get a thick paste), rubbed into the surface and left for 30-40 minutes.

How to remove a stain with iodine?

A solution to remove dirt and odor can be prepared using iodine. To do this, add only 15 drops of iodine to a liter of water and mix the liquid well.

REFERENCE! This option is best used for cleaning natural pile carpets.

Soap solution

To combat stains and unpleasant odors, regular laundry soap is suitable. The third part of the bar is grated on a coarse grater and dissolved in warm water (the liquid should be thick).

Moisten the contaminated area with the finished mixture, rub with a soft sponge, and leave for another 40-60 minutes until the full effect is achieved. Then it is advisable to rub the stain again and wash with plain water.

Soda and water

Baking soda is an affordable and effective means of combating unpleasant odors. The stain is lightly moistened with water and generously covered with clean soda and left for half an hour.

In 30 minutes, baking soda will remove the unpleasant odor and whiten the carpet a little. It is better to remove such detergent using a vacuum cleaner.

Dish detergent and hydrogen peroxide

To prepare the cleaning product, the components are mixed in approximately equal proportions. The finished mixture is applied to the carpet, rubbed well into it and left for half an hour for full effect.

It is recommended to blot the stain with a cloth or paper towel first. After applying the cleaning mixture, rub the stain with a toothbrush, moving from the edges to the center. After the carpet has completely dried, it must be vacuumed.

REFERENCE! It is better to initially try all products that contain hydrogen peroxide on a small area of ​​the carpet. Because peroxide can change the color of the pile or completely eat it away.

Paste and peroxide

Dog urine, unfortunately, not only leaves an unpleasant odor, but also causes yellowed areas to appear on the carpet. Yellowness can be easily removed with hydrogen peroxide.

Rub the stain with a mixture of paste and hydrogen peroxide and leave for half an hour to an hour (depending on whether the stain is fresh or old). After the specified time, wash off the detergent composition with clean water. Sometimes the effect is not achieved the first time, the procedure can be repeated again. It is better to remove the remaining mixture with a damp cloth, constantly rinsing it in clean water.

REFERENCE! The remaining small traces of paste can be easily removed with a vacuum cleaner, but before doing this you need to let it dry thoroughly.

Sparkling water

Regular carbonated water will help remove a fresh dog urine stain. Algorithm for using soda:

1. Apply a small amount of water to the carpet (the pile should not be too wet).
2. After a quarter of an hour, apply a dry cloth to the stain and press it with all your might so that all the liquid comes out of the carpet. Continue until the material is almost dry.
3. Under no circumstances should you rub the dampened stain, otherwise the smell will be absorbed even more.

Laundry soap

Algorithm for using laundry soap:

1. Grate laundry soap (a quarter of a bar is enough) on a fine grater.
2. Dissolve the soap in water (use enough water to form a thick, porridge-like mixture).
3. Apply the finished product to the carpet with a soft brush or sponge.
4. Wait at least 10 minutes. Remove the soap slurry with a damp cloth.

IMPORTANT! Before using laundry soap, you need to remember that this method is not suitable for those carpets whose pile suffers due to excessive moisture.

Baking Soda and Vinegar

Another effective way to remove odor and yellowing after dog pranks. To do this, you only need vinegar and soda:

1. Pour a glass of water and table vinegar into a container. Mix the ingredients thoroughly.
2. Apply the prepared solution to the carpet using a sprayer. It is advisable to keep the container at a distance of at least 10 cm from the material.
3. Wait 15 minutes until the liquid is completely absorbed into the pile.
4. After about 20 minutes, blot the carpet with cloth or paper towels until any remaining product is completely removed.
5. Sprinkle soda on top of the stain - it will eliminate the unpleasant odor.
6. After the soda has dried and a crust has formed, the treated area must be vacuumed.

IMPORTANT! Before using vinegar-based products, they should also be tested on a small area of ​​the material. Only after a positive reaction of the lint can larger areas be cleaned.

Baking soda and vinegar will help when cleaning the microwave and oven.

Bleaching

Before using bleach as an assistant in the fight against unpleasant odors, you need to remember that the product itself has a pungent odor. Therefore, before using it, it is recommended to open the windows and ensure the room is ventilated.

To prepare the mixture, 200 ml of bleach is mixed in half a bucket of clean water. The stain is generously moistened with the liquid and left for a third of an hour. After a specified period of time, the contamination is washed with clean water.

Advice! Until the bleach has completely evaporated, the animal should not be allowed into this area. If possible, it is better to ventilate the carpet in the fresh air.

Laundry soap, chlorine and lemon

Laundry soap will help get rid of the problem; this product shows high effectiveness on fresh stains. You will need to take 100 g, grate a piece and add warm water. It should turn out to be a paste; it should be applied to the problem area and left for 10 minutes. After this, you will need to thoroughly wash the surface with clean water.

It happens that even the furniture smells of urine. You can get rid of unpleasant odor by using lemon. It is necessary to squeeze the juice out of it and dilute it with water in a 1:1 ratio. After this, the solution is applied to the problem area and left for a quarter of an hour. After this time, the solution should be washed off. After the procedure, there will be no unpleasant odor left.

If this does not bother you, then you should dilute this product in water in a ratio of 1:10. Then you need to put on rubber gloves, soak a rag in the solution and wipe the problem area with it. Then you need to wait 10 minutes and rinse the area with water several times.

It is very important to prevent the reappearance of unpleasant odors in the room. To do this, you need to train your pet to go to the toilet in sand or litter.

Features of removing dog urine odor

The urine of dogs of all breeds has a very strong smell. Even a single bowel movement in the apartment can cause difficulty breathing. Moreover, the stable amber lasts a long time. Simply washing floors or furniture does not give a positive result; you need to find more effective means to remove the unpleasant odor.

To fix the problem you need to stock up on:

• clean rags and sponges;
• detergents;
• warm water, washing vacuum cleaner (if available);
• rubber gloves to protect your skin.

If you need to remove dog odor, you do not need to add water to the puddle, so as not to increase the bad-smelling area. Before treatment, dog urine should be absorbed using napkins, toilet paper or a rag.

How to remove dried traces?

Before removing dried traces of dog urine, it is recommended to carry out preparatory work:

1. Using a stiff, dry brush, work the stain to remove the crust.
2. Use a vacuum cleaner to collect everything that was crumbled with a brush.
3. Place a rag under the carpet and thoroughly wet the contaminated area with a wet sponge (carry out the manipulation several times).

You should prepare for the fact that you won’t be able to remove the disgusting smell and stain the first time. You will have to carry out several cleansing procedures.

Dilute dishwashing detergent in a glass of water until a thick foam forms. Then pour the mixture onto the stain, rub in a little and leave for at least an hour. Afterwards, blot the stain with a cloth or paper towel. It is advisable to press as hard as possible on the carpet so that as much liquid as possible comes out.

To completely remove the liquid, it is recommended to additionally treat the stain with a vacuum cleaner. Repeat the procedure until the stain completely disappears.

REFERENCE! When the stain is already old, it is better to entrust this matter to professionals. A professional dry cleaner offers a service where professionals can come to your home, or you can take the carpet to the laundromat.

Pet stores offer liquid consistencies and special powders that get rid of old stains. Each product is used exclusively according to the instructions, which must not be violated under any circumstances.

The dog wrote: how to remove a fresh stain?

The owner, who notices in time that the pet has urinated on the carpet, will get rid of the consequences with little effort in the shortest possible time. The main thing in this matter is not to postpone until later priority measures to eliminate the unpleasant aroma.

Even if trouble happens, but you don’t have time to do unscheduled carpet cleaning, in a few minutes you can stop the problem and prevent damage to property.

If we are talking about a small rug (bedside, near the bathtub or toilet, in the hallway), place it in the bathtub and rinse it with a strong stream from the shower . In a house with a small dog, this is already enough.

But if the dog is large, then after intensive rinsing, the mat is soaked in the bath, adding a glass of table vinegar to the water. It is more difficult when the dog has marked a large carpet.

As soon as a fresh puddle is discovered, you must:

1. Use an absorbent napkin or cloth (towel) to remove as much liquid as possible. To do this, completely cover the problem area, first gently pressing the blotter.
2. When the napkin has absorbed some moisture, take a dry, clean one and blot the carpet with great effort. Repeat the procedure until the wipes stop absorbing.
3. To reduce the concentration of urine - wash the area with a wet sponge, brush, or rag.

Cleaning in such cases always begins with these urgent measures. By minimizing the volume and concentration of dog urine, they reduce the risk of carpet damage and increase the effectiveness of available means.

Having taken emergency measures, you can run on urgent matters, postponing the final cleaning until the next timeout. It will be easier to deal with the problem.

How not to damage the carpet?

Removing an unpleasant odor without damaging the carpet is not as simple a task as it seems at first glance. Very often, when dealing with pet urine stains, a person encounters damage to the carpet. This is especially true for folk untested methods.

Often the smell of urine goes away, and along with it the brightness of the pile or its color completely disappears. To avoid carpet damage, it is recommended to follow these tips:

• Hot water ensures better effectiveness of cleaning products. But before applying it to the carpet, it needs to be cooled. Otherwise, damage to the pile structure is possible.
• The faster you remove urine from the carpet, the less damage will be done to the surface. The longer the urine remains in the pile, the worse its condition will be.
• When using the brush, it should be guided only in the direction of the pile. Otherwise, there is a high probability that the pile will subsequently break and remain in that position. In addition, if the carpet is tilted incorrectly, it experiences greater stress and therefore wears out faster.
• To combat urine stains on the carpet, you should not use tea (especially strong tea), sauerkraut or brine from it. Traces of such “cleaning agents” are practically not removed.
• Dishwashing or laundry detergents may contain aggressive components that damage the composition of the pile. Therefore, it is better to test their effect on a small area.
• You should be especially careful when using folk remedies. They are also pre-tested before using them over a large area.
• When buying ready-made household products, it is better to take those that are marked “Bio”.

Preventive actions

• walk the dog at least three times a day (it is advisable to do this the first time in the early morning);
• use special preparations and spray them on the affected areas in the house.

What to do with marked shoes

Pet owners know that sometimes they like to cause harm, to “take revenge” by marking their favorite, expensive shoes, clothes, furniture, and corners. The marks leave yellow stains and a sharp, persistent aroma. Knowing some secrets and tricks, you can solve the problem without getting rid of the damaged item.

Sneakers and sneakers that need to be washed should be soaked in a basin with a vodka/vinegar solution. Some people lather generously with laundry soap.

What not to use

Before removing contamination, it is worth finding out which products are not advisable to use. Prohibited actions that aggravate the problem:

1. It is strictly prohibited to use perfumes, eau de toilette, and sprays as a disguise. The intensity will decrease for a short period of time, then the fetid amber will become unbearable.
2. Ammonia. It is a leader among forbidden drugs, as it significantly harms any tissue.
3. Chlorine. It is not advisable to use chlorine, since the product is considered toxic, dangerous, and can cause harm to humans and animals. In addition, chlorine does not spare fabrics, although it does an excellent job of removing cat urine.

Thus, to get rid of urine from linen and clothes, it is best to use folk remedies. As practice shows, they cope well with dirt of any complexity, which cannot be said for many household chemical products. Using the suggested recipes, you can restore and preserve damaged linen, shoes and furniture.

How to stop a dog from peeing in the wrong places

Problems with the toilet can only occur in young, not yet trained dogs, as well as in those animals that are sick with something. In the second case, the dog needs to be clearly helped, but in the first case, it is better to remove all the carpets during training. This way, while the dog grows up and learns in what mode to go to the toilet, you will not have to scrub and wash the carpets. You can also keep your pet off the sofa for a while.

If your pet is old enough and healthy, but still pees in the wrong places, take deterrent measures. You should purchase citrus essential oil or juice from an orange or lemon. This should be used to spray the carpet and furniture. Dogs, like cats, do not like citrus fruits. Most likely, your pet will no longer be in unauthorized places. In any case, he will stop shitting there.

Try to create a routine for the animal. He should be ready for walking at the same time of day. This way, you will have virtually no “accidents” and you won’t have to think about how to remove the smell of dog urine.

Table vinegar

This product is familiar to many housewives, as it is often used to remove stains and odors, while the vinegar itself, although it has a pungent aroma, dissipates quite quickly when the window is open. Acetic acid neutralizes ammonia, which is a constituent of urine, so vinegar is ideal for this purpose.

It is necessary to mix warm water and 9% table vinegar in equal proportions, and treat the affected area of ​​the carpet with the resulting solution. The best option would be to pour the mixture into a spray bottle and spray it evenly over the surface of the material, but you can also use a regular rag. Then you need to wait 10 - 15 minutes so that the product has time to be absorbed, blot the area with a paper towel and let the stain dry.

After about 10 minutes, the carpet should dry, after which it should be vacuumed, the smell of urine should no longer bother you. If you haven't used baking soda, you don't need to vacuum your carpet, you just need to clean it with whatever suitable detergent you normally use.

Special cases

Unpleasant Dog Odor – 14 Ways to Eliminate Dog Hair Odor

To make a dog’s fur smell—if not like flowers, then at least just clean—you need...

Wash your dog with special “dog” products every 10-30 days, depending on the breed. Wash thoroughly with shampoo and be sure to use conditioner.

Dry your dog after washing or swimming in water with a hairdryer or a special microfiber towel that absorbs water as much as possible.

Clean your pet's ears and teeth regularly. Preferably using a special paste.

Wipe your pet's fur with a vinegar solution (approx. 1 tbsp per 1 liter of water). The skin of hairless dogs can be wiped with chlorhexidine (at the same time, treat any inflammation on the skin).

Brush your dog regularly and remove the undercoat, which accumulates moisture and spreads an unpleasant odor.

After a walk, be sure to wash your paws, face, belly and area near the tail.

Trim the area under the tail so that feces particles do not stick to the fur in this area. Don't forget that even the smartest pet doesn't know how to use toilet paper.

Feed your dog correctly, taking into account the balance of all nutrients. Remember that not getting certain substances from food leads to metabolic disorders and, as a result, disruption of the sweat glands. Change your dog's diet completely - to a correct and balanced one, give up allergic foods, and perhaps this step alone will significantly reduce the size of the odor problem. Do not feed your pet raw meat/fish - cook without salt and steam it. This will protect your dog from helminths and subsequent problems with them, including odor.

Have your dog examined by a veterinarian in a timely manner and get tested. Remember: a healthy dog ​​smells, but does not stink. The unbearable smell of “dog” is the body’s signal of ill health.

Be a caring owner

That is, treat the dog carefully, paying attention to its mood changes. The smell can also be a protective reaction to stress or fear, in which the sebaceous glands begin to actively produce an unpleasant “smell”

Eliminate the causes of stress and fear. Do not scold your pet, and especially do not use force.

Use additional products when bathing your pet. For example, Doctor shampoo (by the way, it perfectly treats skin inflammation).

You can also pay attention to dog “deodorants”: OdorGone, Smart spray, Faithful friend, “Essential 6 spot on dermoscent” drops.

Wash clothes and pet mattress/bedding covers more often. At least once a week! And also wash his toys and put away his “stash” in the corners.

Walk the dog more often and longer so that it relieves its natural needs not on the carpet in the apartment, but under a bush outside.
