Tips on how to clean dog urine;

The first thing you need to do is find out just how bad the dog stain is. The reason for this is because dogs tend to urinate on the same spot over and over due to there territorial nature. This is the reason why you should always try to clean the urine carpet mess before your dog can get to it the second time. That way, your dog won't be able to smell the urine scent, which in turn leads it him to want to urinate on it again.

The great thing about dog urine is that they don't tend to stain as much as that of cats urine. Because of this, simple home remedies can usually do the trick.

First soak up as much of the urine from the carpet with dry paper towel.

Then mix a table spoon of mild non bleach, non alkaline detergent with a cup of warm water. Sprinkle the mixture on to the stained area of your carpet and shampoo it in.

Blot the shampooed area with a dry towel or other type of material that really absorbs the moisture well

Now mix 1/3 cup of white vinegar with 1/3 of warm water and sprinkle the mixture onto the semi-cleaned spot on your carpet, then blot it once again with a dry towel or similar material until you have the spot as dry as possible.

Once you are done doing this, cover another dry towel over the once stained area of your carpet and weigh it down with some books in order to help absorb the rest of the humidity in the carpet. Open all windows and switch on all fans (If you have any) to help dry the carpet. Leave is like this for a few hours.

Once you are comfortable that the carpet is dry, use your vacuum cleaner to finish off the job.

Make sure that during the cleaning session your dog is no where in sight to see what you are doing. If he does see you, he might think you are playing a game where he must urinate so that you then get to clean up.

If you are still having problems with removing the dogs urine stain, you will then most probably need to purchase a stain remover designed specifically for situations like this.
