Soak in slightly watered down Windex for large areas, or spray out of the bottle and saturate. Let sit or soak 1/2 hr. or so. Use carpet cleaner, washing machine or just scrub and blot. Very good on clothing for blood from fishing, hunting etc. Windex w/ammonia D is very effective for blood stains and dog accident stains, if you use before anything else.

In a pinch I have used ammonia and water to clean an accident. Now I understand that it may attract a repeat performance. Thanks! I will be sticking to a vinegar solution from now on.

I have only used this on tile, pergola, and linoleum. It works great. Spray, let sit for just a minute, and wipe up with a towel. Works great!

It is a round spot that looks dirty. How can I clean this and make my carpet look the same. Thanks.

We had it cleaned but they could only do a light clean as the dye began to run. Any idea how we can remove/reduce the Yellow staining, and to remove the final residue of smell.

Our Lab/Chow used to be an outside dog and had trouble making the transition to living inside; consequently, we had lakes, not puddles to clean up. We also had to deal with the long-lasting smell. After mopping the floor, I poured Listerine over the scene of the crime, let it soak in a bit, and then dried the area. The anti-bacterial forces in the mouthwash killed the smell. I'm cheap, so I bought the store-brand or generic versions of Listerine, and they worked the same. For really bad messes, I recommend a steam mop. I bought a Shark steam mop and have noticed that the areas where she left her mark smell better and she is less likely to return to the scene of the crime.

After picking up or blotting up as much of the offending material as possible, saturate the area with white vinegar, blot and then rub north and south and east and west to make sure that you are getting all sides of the fibers. Vinegar does not leave a residue like some cleaning products do, and it eliminates the odors too. A professional carpet cleaner told me to use vinegar for the 3 “p’s” pee, poop and puke.

Spray white vinegar all over the area and allow to dry. The vinegar breaks down the crystals that form. If the accident spot is on carpet, then after the vinegar has dried (once dried you cannot smell the urine or the vinegar) sprinkle Bicarbonate of Soda over the area, brush it into the carpet, leave it for a few hours then vacuum up.

Leftover urine isn't just nasty, it will draw your dog back to that place to do the deed again.

Blot up the urine, spray on the foam and wait however long it says to wait on the can before vacuuming up the dried foam. Repeat if the spot still smells.

It takes a little more work, but since dogs like to go in a place they've gone before they catch on pretty quickly. And once the dog is used to the box, you won't have to run for the door first thing in the morning to head off a wet spot on the rug.

Make sure that anything you use to clean up dog urine doesn't also smell like dog urine.

The salt will soak up the rest of the urine, then you can pick up the crusted salt - use gloves - and vacuum up the rest.

They sell special dog urine removal solutions at the pet store, or even in the grocery story pet food department. The solutions work like any other carpet spot cleaner, but they're specially formulated to kill the urine smell so the dog won't come back to that spot. Dogs have accidents, it’s a fact of life.
