What you need.. vinegar, Hydrogen Peroxide, Baking Powder & your favourite essential oil. |
To Remove The Urine:
- Combine the water and vinegar solution mixed in a bowl
- 1 cup water
- 1 cup vinegar
To Neutralize and Deodorize:
- 1/4 to 1/2 cup baking soda
To Lift Any Remaining Set-in Stain:
- 1/4 to 1/2 cup household strength (3%) hydrogen peroxide
Remove Urine, Neutralize, Deodorize and Removing the Stain:
- Blot up as much of the urine as possible by using the paper towels.
- Mix together the water and vinegar and pour or spray it on the spot. You really want to work it down into the carpet so this is not a time to be stingy.
- Work the mixture into the carpet with your fingers (or a scrub brush or toothbrush), but be careful not to scrub too hard- heavy scrubbing will damage the carpet fibers.
- Blot up all the vinegar and water until it’s as dry as possible. A wet/dry vac or steam cleaner does a good job extracting liquid too.
- When the spot is very close to being dry, sprinkle the baking soda on the stain.
- With your rubber gloves on, work some of the peroxide into the stain with your fingers. The baking soda and peroxide will be foaming like mad.
- Again blot up all the liquid possible with a paper towel or other absorbent material.
- Let the spot dry completely.
- Vacuum thoroughly to remove any residue.
Homemade Carpet Freshener:
- 3 cups baking soda
- 20 drops of your favorite essential oil like lavender, jasmine, or vanilla
- Shaker jar to disperse
- Pour the baking soda in a medium size bowl and break up any clumps with a fork.
- Use your favorite essential oil like lavender, jasmine, or vanilla and sprinkle in the baking soda, stirring well to reduce lumps.
- Put the mixture in a shaker jar and sprinkle lightly on the carpet. Don't overdo it. Just a light sprinkle is enough.
- Let sit on the carpet for 15 minutes or so and vacuum up.
