HOW TO REMOVE PET ODOR FROM CARPET/UPHOLSTERY

1. Clean the Area Thoroughly

• Blot, Don’t Rub: If the odor is from a recent accident, blot the area with a clean cloth to absorb as much as possible. Avoid rubbing to prevent spreading.
• Use a Carpet Cleaner: If the stain has set, use a carpet-cleaning solution specifically designed for pet stains.

2. Apply Baking Soda

• Sprinkle Baking Soda: Liberally sprinkle baking soda over the area. Baking soda neutralizes odors by absorbing them.
• Let It Sit Overnight: Allow the baking soda to sit for several hours or overnight for maximum absorption.
• Vacuum: Thoroughly vacuum the area to remove the baking soda.

3. Use an Enzymatic Cleaner

• Why Enzymatic Cleaners?: These products break down the proteins in pet urine that cause odors.
• Apply to the Stain: Follow the instructions on the cleaner, usually applying it generously to the area.
• Allow Time to Work: Let the cleaner sit for 15–30 minutes before blotting.

4. Steam Clean (If Necessary)

• Use a steam cleaner with a pet-specific solution to deep-clean the carpet and eliminate any lingering odor.
