Clean Water

• Clean, fresh, cool water is an excellent combatant in the fight against pet odors. Best when used on a fresh stain, applying a good amount of water dilutes urea, making extraction a little easier. Blot the stain with numerous fresh paper towels, relocating them to the place where you want your animal to relieve itself in the future.
  
  

Enzymatic Fluids

• These specialized solutions often have a slightly sweet, masking scent. However, enzymatic treatments are designed to dissolve and break down the stain at the molecular level. These are best applied with a spray bottle directly to the stain, allowed to soak in for a few minutes, then blotted. Never rub or wipe a stain in.
  
  

Carpet Extractors

• Not to be confused with steam cleaners that actually help set the stain and odor, extractors use clean, pure water. On occasion, a specialized solution will be added in very small amounts to assist with the agitation process. However, the clean, cool water and the ability of the extractor to flush the stain from man-made carpet fibers is a very effective treatment. These are readily available for rent, with plenty of professional service offerings.
  
  

Carpet Stain Removers

A good quality can of carpet cleaner used after a thorough carpet cleaning can help you focus on problem areas, or ones that are hard to reach. Always follow the instructions on the container for the possible need to dilute the solution, and the duration is should sit on the carpet.
