Pet urine odor can be very difficult to completely remove from
a carpet. If you are having trouble removing odor from your dogs
little house training accidents you should read this article to
get learn how to permanently take care of it.

The first thing you need to do is thoroughly clean the surface
of the carpet. This is often all that is necessary to remove the
odor. So start there and let the carpet thoroughly dry before
continuing. To clean the carpet use a solution of one part white
distilled vinegar and three parts water. Mist the solution on
the carpet and after allowing it to dwell for a few minutes,
blot it up. If you have a home spotter, rinse the area with
plain water. Now let it dry.

If it is still smelly you can move on to the next step.
Purchase a bottle of enzyme cleaner from your local pet store
and mix it up by following the directions on the bottle.
Thoroughly saturate the area and place plastic wrap over the
spot to keep it wet for twenty four to forty eight hours. After
that time has passed, let the area dry. You might have to use a
little of your vinegar and water solution to spot clean it after
it is completely dry of a water mark appears.

If the odor is still present after the last step you have to go
to the extreme measure of pulling up the carpet and removing the
pad. Purchase or rent a knee kicker from your local home
improvement store and use it to pull back the carpet. Cut out
the affected area of pad and take a sample of it to the home
improvement store. Match the thickness and density of the pad
and purchase a replacement section along with a can of spray
sealant and masking tape. Return home and clean the sub floor
with your vinegar and water solution and allow it to dry. Next
spray the sealant on the dry sub floor and allow it to dry. Then
replace the section of pad you removed and use the masking tape
to bind the edges of the old and new padding. Now just use the
knee kicker to replace the carpet and you are done.

Hopefully this has been of help to you in removing the pet odor
from your carpet. If it sounds too involved you should call a
local carpet cleaner who can handle the problem for you for a
reasonable cost.
