Question:

What is a good carpet cleaner for removing odor?

My pets have ruined my carpet. I need to rip it up and replace it, but that is way to expensive right now. I am just looking for a product I can buy at a drugstore, spray on the carpet, and vacuume off. Thank you!!

Answer:

Sprinkle a couple of boxes of bicarb soda all over the carpets, paying particular attention to heavily stained areas. Leave for as long as you can then vacuum. After that get your carpets professionally cleaned or hire a steamer and do it yourself. Then, before you vacuum do the bicarb soda bit again every time. Voila! Clean smelling carpets!
Carbona for Pet Stains. Comes with a brush at top of container. Then try Febreze to get rid of smell.
Sorry, in the event that they don't seem to be neutered then this isn't any longer likely you will thoroughly do away with it. My chum used shaving foam on her carpet, thats what appeared to paintings the ideal even though it may discolour specific carpets so attempt at your own threat!
If you have pets that often mess on carpets, you may want to not reinstall carpets. Instead, once you can afford it, consider installing a hard surface that's easier to clean, such as tile or etc. When you do clean, use an enzyme cleaner, to eliminate the Oh, this is my piddle place smell that will cause them to reuse that spot. For now, to help the carpets stink less, put baking soda all over the carpet, and let it sit for a half hour or longer. Then vacuum it up. This will not remove the deep-set pet odors that are in the carpet pad, but it will help remove the odor in the carpet itself, which can only help. Baking soda can work wonders with odors. But if the odors are in the carpet pad, as I suspect they are, any product is only going to help so much. I know others say you can get a steam cleaner and clean the carpets, but in my experience, all this does is release the hounds. It activates any old, dormant pet odors in the carpet pad, and makes the situation worse. So I'm not so sure of this one. Maybe a professional carpet cleaning company... but I make no promises on that.
