How to Get Dog Pee Smell Out of a Carpet?

A dog is a man’s best friend. Until it pees on the carpet, that is. Getting rid of dog urine smell from carpets can be tough. But it doesn’t have to be costly. Or damaging to your carpet. Here’s a proven solution that safely gets even old dog urine smell out of carpets – including thick carpet with an underlay.

Best product to clean dog pee from carpets

We recommend the alcohol-based odor neutralizer Purodora Urine Odor Neutralizer. Here’s why:

  • It’s easy to use and it neutralizes the smell of any animal urine.
  • Unlike other products that temporarily mask animal urine odor, it eliminates the odor permanently.
  • It won’t discolor carpets.
  • It’s safe for people and pets.
  • It’s not enzyme-based. That means it works even on urine that has been soaked into the carpet for years.

Cleaning up dog urine isn’t enough.

You need to neutralize it.

People are often tempted to try a home-made solution using the products they have on hand, such as vinegar and baking soda, or soda water. Proceed with caution as mixing these household items can sometimes discolor carpets. And if you decide to call in the big guns and hire a carpet cleaning expert, make sure their cleaning products contain animal urine odor neutralizing agents. Otherwise, you’ll never fully get the dog pee smell out of your carpet and you’ll be spending your money for nothing.

How to clean dog pee from a carpet – step-by-step instructions

Here’s how to safely completely eliminate dog urine smell from any carpet – high pile, low pile, with underlay – you name it!

  • String off the area where the dog peed on the carpet. Make the circle 4 to 5 inches (10 to 12 cm) bigger than the visible stain to make sure you get ALL of the urine.
  • Neutralize the dog pee smell in the carpet with Purodora Urine Odor Neutralizer.

Getting dog pee smell out of a thin carpet

  1. Simply spray Purodora Urine Odor Neutralizer directly on the area where your pet urinated.
  2. Let it work for a few minutes and repeat if needed.

Getting dog pee smell out of a thick carpet

  1. Use a syringe to inject Purodora Urine Odor Neutralizer all the way into the base of the carpet fibers where the urine has pooled. Start by working from the outside of the circle inward, injecting 10 cc of Purodora Urine Odor Neutralizer at 1-inch (2.5-cm) intervals.
  2. Generously spray the entire surface of the circle with Purodora Urine Odor Neutralizer.
  3. Let it work for a few minutes and repeat as needed.

Pro Tip

What to do if Purodora Urine Odor Neutralizer leaves a dark ring on fabrics

Alcohol-based products like Purodora Urine Odor Neutralizer can leave a dark ring on some colored fabrics where the dye has not set properly. No need to worry! Simply rub the fabric with a damp cloth and the stain will immediately disappear.

How to get old dog pee smell out of a carpet

If you’re dealing with an old pee stain – or if your pet has urinated on the same spot several times – it’s possible the urine has seeped all the way into the carpet underlay or even the wood base underneath. Be sure to treat this area as well, not just the surface of the carpet.

Pee happens. Be ready.

How to properly bathe a dog

For us humans, a daily bath or show is perfectly normal. But dogs don’t have the same hygiene needs as we do. If you’re a new dog owner – or not – you may be wondering how often to bathe your dog. Or how to clean him or her properly, and what type of shampoo you should use. Here are the answers to all your questions! Why wash a dog?  Anyone who has spent any time around dogs knows just how dirty and smelly they can get. Especially if they spend a lot of time playing outside. Dogs can end up covered in mud, dirt – and yes, even feces – faster than you can blink. A dirty dog isn’t just a question of aesthetics; it can also lead to irritated skin. Giving your dog a bath from time to time will help keep him or her healthy. As a nice bonus, a good washing will leave your dog’s coat shiny clean.Being dirty is just one call for bath time. Your dog may also come into contact with a toxic substance or have a skin condition for which your vet recommends a regular bath. How often should I wash my dog?  That’s the question almost all dog owners ask. How often you need to bathe your dog depends on a number things, such as its: Breed Size Type of coat (curly, long, short, etc.) Skin sensitivity Regular activities An outdoor dog will naturally need a bath more often than an indoor dog that spends most of its time on the couch.  As a general rule, dogs with long or curly coats should be bathed about once a month and short-haired dogs every 2 to 3 months. PRO TIPDon’t bathe your dog too often; it can lead to itchy, irritated skin. DID YOU KNOW? A smelly dog (coat smelling of “wet dog”, smoke, food odors, etc.) doesn’t always have to mean bath time. There are special odor neutralizers for pets that will get rid of bad smells on a dog’s coat with a simple spray. No need to go through the whole bath rigmarole. Just spray the coat and walk away. No rinsing required. A real life saver when you’re pressed for time or have company on the way! Here are our top 3 recommended bath-free odor neutralizers for dogs: Pet Odor Neutralizer for Shaggy Coats Pet Odor Neutralizer for Curly Coats Pet Odor Neutralizer for Sensitive Skin Which shampoo to use on your dog?  Dog hair is not like human hair. Nor is dog skin like human skin. The pH of their skin is less acidic than ours. So only pH-neutral shampoos specially formulated for dogs should be used to clean their coat. We recommend 3 dog shampoos, based on your dog’s coat: Pet Shampoo for Shaggy Coats (deeply nourishes and conditions shaggy and long-haired coats) Pet Shampoo for Curly Coats (moisturizes and strengthens curly coats, which tend to be more dry and brittle) Pet Shampoo for Sensitive Skin (nourishes, protects and repairs sensitive skin) These shampoos detangle the coat and rinse off easily to leave it soft and shiny. They also get rid of stubborn smells on the coat to leave your dog looking and smelling great. All of the above products are safe for dogs. They’re vegan and made with natural ingredients. They’re also free of silicones, parabens, phthalates and sulfates. PRO TIPAvoiding parabens and sulfates in skincare products is important. Check out this article from Wigreports. How to bathe a dog  Now that you know how often to wash your dog and which shampoo to use, here’s how to properly bathe a dog Before the bath If you have a long-haired dog, give the coat a good brushing before bath time. This will detangle the coat and minimize the amount of hair that ends up in the bottom of the tub. During the bath Fill the bottom of the tub with warm water and put your dog in the tub. Wet him or her thoroughly, carefully avoiding the ears and eyes. Apply shampoo to the coat and massage into a lather, including the head. Leave the shampoo on for a few minutes, then rinse it off with clean water. After the bath Gently rub the coat with a towel to remove the excess water. If you want, you can continue drying with the coat with a hair dryer at the low temperature setting. Paying particular attention to “damp” are around the ears, armpits and groin. Once the coat is nice and dry, give your dog a quick brush and you’re done! How to get a dog used to bath time Few dogs enjoy getting a bath. The trick is to get your pet used to it at as young of an age as possible. Puppies can be introduced to baths once they are 2 months old. PRO TIPTo make bath time more enjoyable for you and you dog: Pour water slowly over your dog and soothe him or her with gentle pets and kind, reassuring words Reward your dog with a treat immediately after a bath so that he or she associates the experience with something pleasant. Love your dog? Keep him or her clean and healthy! Congratulations, you’re now a dog-bathing expert! We hope you’ve found these dog-bathing tips helpful. And if your dog is unlucky enough to get sprayed by a skunk, read this article My Dog Got Sprayed by a Skunk... Help! It explains step-by-step the no-fail method for getting skunk smell out of a dog’s coat. Enjoy tubbie time!

Comment enlever l’odeur d’humidité dans une armoire, un placard ou sur un meuble - Purodora Lab

How to get rid of musty smells in wardrobes, cupboards and furniture

No one likes musty smells, especially when they're in our home. We're all familiar with that musty smell on clothes that didn't dry properly, but wardrobes, cupboards and even upholstered furniture emit a "dank" or unfresh odor. Fortunately, there are ways to get rid of musty smells in your home permanently. Here's how.  Main causes of musty smells If you're noticing a humid, damp or musty smell in a wardrobe, closet or cupboard, it could indicate the presence of mold. Either way, you'll want to figure out what's causing the musty smell so that you can get rid of it once and for all.  In a home there are three common causes of mold growth, which is behind that unpleasant musty odor. These include:  Water infiltration or plumbing leak Water leaks aren't always easy to detect. You might not even notice the problem for days, weeks or months - giving mold ample time to take hold and start emitting that telltale musty smell. Excess humidity Musty smells in wardrobes, cupboards or furniture may also be due to excess humidity in your home. Always keep the relative humidity between 30% and 50%. Any lower is too dry to be comfortable and any higher promotes the growth of mold and mildew. Poor ventilation Poor ventilation can also cause mold and musty smells - especially in enclosed spaces such as unventilated bathrooms or basements with doors and windows kept shut at all times. Eventually, mold will start to grow and emit a strong "dank" or musty smell.  How to get rid of musty smells in a wardrobe Once you've figured out what's causing the problem, you can attack the source of the odor directly. Here's how to eliminate musty smells in a wardrobe. (Note: This technique works best on a wardrobe with a varnished wood exterior and untreated wood interior.) Step 1: Clean the exterior We recommend using Purodora Damp Odor Neutralizer because it's a water-based product and won't damage varnished wood. Dilute 120 ml of the product in 4 L of warm water and spray directly on the surface. Leave on for few minutes and wipe dry with a cloth. No need to rinse.  Step 2: Clean the interior For the inside of the wardrobe, use Purodora Smoke Odor Neutralizer for Fabrics. Don't let the name fool you; it also works like a charm on musty smells in raw or untreated wood. No diluting required; simply spray the wood and allow to air dry. Because this product is alcohol-based, it evaporates quickly and won't cause untreated wood to swell.  Eliminating musty smells from upholstered furniture Upholstered furniture such as fabric couches, chair and cushions can also develop a musty smell - especially if they're sitting in a basement.  Again, we recommend our alcohol-based Smoke Odor Neutralizer for Fabrics to get rid of musty smells in upholstered furniture. Because it evaporates quickly, it can be applied liberally to fabrics without risk of making the mildew/mold problem worse (which can be the case with water-based products, which take longer to dry). Simply spray the entire affected area and allow to air dry. No need to rinse. If the odor is embedded deep in the fabric, you can inject the product directly into the cushion or filling with a syringe. The product will eliminate the odor on contact and evaporate quickly to leave both fabric and filling fry. Note that the alcohol in this product will not damage or discolor fabrics. Eliminate musty smells in a cupboard or closet Got a closet or cupboard that also smells musty? Again, you'll want to get to the root of the problem. Otherwise the odor will just keep returning. If the damp smell is due to a water leak behind the walls, you'll have to open up the wall, remove the wet insulation and spray the wood joists with Damp Odor Neutralizer. Make sure the musty smell is completely gone before closing up the walls. Tip: All Purodora Odor Neutralizers need to come into contact with all of the odor source to eliminate the odor completely. If you still detect the unwanted odor after the first spray, don't worry. It just means you missed some of the odor source. Respray the product over a slightly larger area and check again. It's rare that third treatment is needed.  If the cupboard or closet is in a humid room, you'll also need to address the humidity problem - either by running a dehumidifier or with some other measure.  Do other solutions for getting rid of musty smells really work? Google "get rid of musty smells" and you'll get all sorts of suggestions, such as using:  baking sodaactivated charcoalcoffeewhite vinegarlemonssaltair freshenersessential oilssoaps These approaches will offer varying degrees of effectiveness, but none are proven to eliminate damp or musty smells completely. Purodora products are based on extensive laboratory research and use proven molecular technology to neutralize odors. Plain and simple, they work. Which is why we recommend them. No more musty smells at home! To recap, to get rid of musty smells in wardrobes, closets or upholstered furniture:  Figure out what's causing the smell.Correct the larger source of the problem (if applicable).Use the right products to get rid of the smell. Want to make sure musty smells never return?  Inspect your home's exterior on a regular basis (roof, gutters, drainage system)Keep the relatively humidity inside your home between 30% and 50%Ensure your home has properly ventilationKeep heating, air conditioning and ventilation system equipment in good working order These preventive steps will help keep musty smells and mold away from your home.
