The Best Way to Get Dog Urine Smell Out of Carpet
- 1). Remove as much of the dog urine as possible by placing a layer of paper towels on top of the urine stain. Follow this with a thick layer of newspaper, then place another layer of paper towels on top of that. Apply pressure to the layers until you've wicked up as much urine as you can. Discard the paper towels and newspaper as they soak up the urine and replace them with fresh layers. Continue to wick up the urine until there's no further transfer of urine to the paper towels and newspapers.
- 2). Saturate the urine stained area with pet odor neutralizer with enzymes. If using a liquid make sure to soak the carpet down to the carpet padding. Sprinkle powdered neutralizer liberally to completely cover the stain. If the powdered neutralizer wicks up urine moisture right away, add more neutralizer until the top portion remains dry.
- 3). Cover the neutralizer-soaked carpet with plastic wrap. Press the plastic wrap down with your feet or hands to ensure close contact of the wrap, neutralizer and urine stain in the carpet. Covering the urine stain and neutralizer gives the enzymes in the neutralizer time to break down the odor-causing bacteria, which in turn helps to rid your carpet of dog urine odor. Leave the plastic wrap on your carpet overnight.
