How do you get pet odor out of your carpet?

Any suggestions? My boyfriend and I got a puppy, and now that he's house trained, I have to get this light "scent" out of the carpet before it drives me nuts!

BTW, I've used Brawn stain remover every time the little one had an "accident", along with steam cleaning the carpets once already. His smell still lingers, however. Eh, gross.

I have a dog myself and I use a pet odor remover made by either Nature's Miracle or Simple Solution. They contain bacterial enzymes that eat through the yucky organic stuff in your carpet (and it works for all sorts of other things, including vomit, feces, grass and grease stains, etc.) I also use it as a stain remover for my laundry when I have difficult stains. I would also strongly recommend the use of a black light to detect old stains and treat them because they are usually not visible to the naked eye. You have to do this at night ideally, and the black light highlights EVERY stain you have on your carpet. Just spray the pet odor remover product, saturate the carpet completely, and you'll actually see the stain disappear before your very eyes. I have found that general stain removers don't seem to do very much for pet odors. When buying a product, read the ingredient list and make sure that bacterial enzymes are on the list. Otherwise, the product will treat the stain but not the odor.

You can spot clean and steam clean the carpets all day long but the source of the odor is actually in the pad and is several feet wider than the original accident that your pet had.

Hire a professional carpet cleaning service that is IICRC Certified for odor removal.

Did you steam clean the carpets yourself or did you hire a company to do it for you? A carpet cleaning business will probably have better means of getting pet odors out than those do-it-yourself rental cleaners.

Walmart sells 2 products which I even have got here across paintings great and in assessment to a pair puppy removing products those paintings best in a carpet cleansing gadget... they do away with puppy stains and neutralize puppy odors. they are... Odo Ban puppy (in the puppy area) and Bissell puppy & scent (in the carpet cleanser area) they particularly have a delightful heady scent, and by potential of cleansing the carpets it additionally thoughts up any fur that your vacuum could have ignored. There are different products which you will desire to purchase at puppy shops even nevertheless with those you are able to desire to pour the liquid and go away it there to dry by potential of itself .. can take alongside time to dry and could harm your carpet, padding and wood below. The carpet cleanser does a great activity and dries rather rapidly i exploit a carpet cleanser weekly/biweekly (have 6 canines)
