How to Remove Urine

1. Act Fast!  Flood the stain with water and place several layers of paper towels over the wet area.  Urine is similar to an ice berg, the urine travels down past the carpet backing and is absorbed into the padding.

2. Absorb as mush of the moisture you can from the carpet.  If needed, you can step on the paper towels to draw as mush moisture as you can up.  This will reduce the bad smell so take your time.

3. Neutralize the odor by creating a cleaning solution.  Mix the 1 cup water with 1 cup white vinegar in a spray bottle or other handy container.  Vinegar is a great odor neutralizer and also a natural disinfectant.  Slowly spray the solution into the carpet.  You want to be sure the solution is able to travel down to the padding to be effective in controlling the odor.  Allow the solution to dwell for 10 minutes.

4. Layer several white paper towels on the wet area to soak up the moisture.  Repeat several times to remove as much moisture as possible.  You may need to step on the paper towels to draw out the moisture.

5.  Allow the carpet to air dry for 3-6 hours.  When the carpet is damp to the touch sprinkle a good amount of baking soda on the damp area.  Allow the baking soda to dwell deep into the carpet covering the entire pile (length of the fiber).  Leave the baking soda in for at least 24 hours.

6. Vacuum the baking soda out of the carpet.  If you act fast, the stain should be gone and there will be no odor.  If you are still having issues please call or text me to use professional grade enzymes, solvents, and odor modifiers to address your stain.


Pet urine is difficult to remove.  Their high protein diet leads to nasty odors.  If thats not enough, over time if left untreated it turns acidic and can permanently discolor your carpet.  When left to dry, the evaporation process condenses the salts leaving behind a sticky and difficult to remove residue.  In worse case senarios, the residue cannot be removed.
