By Take fast action if you see your pet urinating on the carpet. The quicker you can remove the pee, the less time it will have to solidify and produce odours and stains. There are also situations when you come across spills or stains that have been there for a while. Let’s explore your options in each scenario.
New stains on carpet: Start by soaking up as much urine as you can for pet stains that are still moist. The wet area should first be covered with a thick layer of paper towels, followed by a layer of newspapers or the absorbent side of a pee pad. For about a minute, bear weight on this cushioning. Repeat this process up until the area is barely moist. Cleanse the area with cold water, then wipe it dry.
Set-in stains: If your pet has an accident, you won’t always be around to clean it up. You need to use various techniques after stains have penetrated your carpet. Consider hiring a carpet cleaner, then once the area has been thoroughly cleaned, apply a pet odour neutralizer. If the area still seems stained after drying, a carpet stain remover may be required.

White vinegar and baking soda: Spray the stain with vinegar, then cover it with baking soda. Wrap a cloth around the area and let it sit for a day or two. The dried baking soda should then be removed, rinsed with cold water, and dried with paper towels.
Cleaning agent: Combine 1/4 teaspoon cleaning agent with 1 cup of warm water. Spray the stain with this, then pat it dry with a towel. If necessary, repeat.
