I have carpet with dog urine stains and the like. When I use cleaners my carpet is either stained darker or not affected. The even bigger problem is that my carpet is white. If you know how to remove stains from white carpet or have any tips on how to eliminate the odor, they'd be greatly appreciated.
Buy some white Windex (not the blue Windex) and a big ol' box of Arm Hammer Baking soda. Dump the baking soda on the stain (if it is still wet), put a folded towel over it, and jump up and down on it to squish the urine out of the carpet and carpet pad. This also pretty much takes care of the smell, so critters aren't tempted to pee in the same spot again. Let the baking soda dry for a couple of days and then vacuum it up. Then, spray it good with the white Windex and scrub the area hard with a dry towel. When the stain is scrubbed off, leave the carpet nap fluffed up so it will dry looking good. The only problem with this method is you can end up with cleaner spots on your carpet! You could use regular Windex on any color carpet but white. The blue coloring stains white carpet.
Urine okorder and when you get there type in the stain you want to remove and it will take you to the link.
To eliminate animal urine stains from carpet. Blot up urine, flush several times with lukewarm water, then apply a mixture of equal parts Heinz White Vinegar and cool water. Blot up, rinse, and let dry. To eliminate urine smells, all you need is Heinz White Vinegar. You can mix one part vinegar to one part water in a sixteen-ounce trigger spray bottle. Or use it full strength. Just saturate the spot on the carpet. It's going to smell like urine and vinegar for about three days, but once it dries, the vinegar will entirely deodorize the stain. You won't smell a thing.
Well, first i'd try a carpet cleaning machine...you can rent one, i know in my hometown you could rent them from the local grocery store. But things like that are getting pretty affordable soo you might be able to find one for cheap, which may not be a bad idea since you have a dog, and since your probably not planning on getting rid of him you will probably have to clean the carpet again in the future. If using a carpet cleaner is out of the question, then i'd suggest using white vinegar or hydrogen peroxide, the stuff in the brown bottle from the drug store. You probably have a bit of both in your home already. Definately stay away from using chemicals not meant for carpets, i learned that lesson when i was 12 and had a kool aid spill on the living room carpet. My mother still is'nt quite sure how it got a hole in it..lol...anyway. Make sure that what'ever you decide to use, you test a very small spot in some corner or somewhere out of site, just to be sure that it won't make it worse, or act in a negative way with your carpet.
