Dog Urine Removal
Speed is of the essence. Use paper towels or rags to soak up as much of the urine as you can. Then apply a commercial dog stain neutralizer. You can find them at any pet store. These products contain enzymes that break down the urine, neutralizing it without staining the carpet. They also work on furniture.
Iif the urine has dried, you can still apply these products. They will neutralize residues, but they won’t do as thorough a job. In fact, after the stuff dries, you may never get the odor or the stain completely out. The following methods have been employed with mixed results:
- Rubbing alcohol applied full strength, allowed to soak, then rinsed clean.
- A diluted ammonia containing product, like Windex; never apply full strength ammonia to a stain.
- Diluted white vinegar or undiluted white vinegar – lots of it
- Liquid chlorophyll can kill some odors; you can purchase it at a pharmacy
- Woolite’s Pet Stain and Odor Remover
- Oxiclean
- Lots of baking soda worked into the spot to absorbs odors, then vacuumed off.
- CTI Proschoice OSR (Odor and Stain Remover), obtained through professional cleaner supply outlets.
Soak up any excess solution and use a floor or hand vacuum on the spot afterwards.
Can’t Get the Dog Urine Smell Out?
If none of these methods or products work for you, don’t waste any more money on cleaners. You might as well toss or reupholster the furniture. As for carpeting, if you have extra, cut out the stained carpet, along with the padding. They will both be soaked through. In fact, the flooring below the pad will also be soaked. If it’s wood flooring or sub-flooring, apply a commercial sealer. If it’s concrete, ask your local building supply store clerk if he has something to seal concrete. Then put in the new padding and piece of carpet. You might also have to put a tack strip down before installing.
Why Some Dog Urine Kills Grass
Really? Dog urine killing grass? This is because Rex has got concentrated nitrogen in his urine. It’s a healthy sign for the dog, and ordinarily it would be good fertilizer for the lawn. But the concentration is too high, and the plants can’t take it. The best way to handle this is to set aside Rex’s own little corner comfort station. Train him to relieve himself there, and only there, and the problem will be solved. Small brown spots on your lawn will reseed themselves; larger areas may have to be manually reseeded or replaced with turf. You can also flood the area with water from a hose after he pees.
I have two cats and have tried everything. I recently found an amazing new product called Room Shocker. It not only took the urine smell out but it also helped with my husband’s allergies. It seems that it completely purifies the air and eliminates any severe bad odors right at the source. I ordered it online from a website called BiocideSystems.com. The best part was I didn’t have to scrub anything. Very low maintenance just leave it in a room for a few hours, come back and the smell is gone!
This product seems to work well for all severe bad odors.
i have two female dogs and one male rabbit. they all like to pee o my hardwood floor in my dining room. i have tried everything to get rid of the smell. i think white vinegar works best with the smell so far. thanks for all the help.

I had Stainmaster Carpeting installed, and was told by the salesman that stains could be easily removed with bleach. DON’T EVEN THINK OF USING BLEACH if the stains are from cat or dog URINE! I did just that, forgetting that urine changes into ammonia, which when combined with bleach produces chlorine gas — a gas so deadly that it was used as a military weapon.
I was lucky; I just spent 3 days in the hospital and the pulmonologist said I can probably resume normal activity in about 10 days.
Trying to flip a house and the neighbours next door have 3 German Shepherds that have urinated so badly that the backyard air stinks. Any suggestions on how I can neutralize the odour other then calling the health department??
i have a question. what if you have wood floor ,and your dogs constantly pee in the house and sometimes in the same spot?how do you get rid of the smell?what would be the best products in order toget out a very very strong sent?
Tom, sounds to me like the best solution is for you to either take dog training classes or maybe consider a fish for a pet….Ther’s a thought.Good thing your mom never got rid of you when you were potty training!!!!
I really don’t have a tip, It’s more of a question!
I have a 9 year old Skye Terrier (male), and he is fully house broke, but when I take him out, he’ll only stay out for a few minutes and want to come back in, he is yipping and jumping trying to get back in and when I bring him in, it’s no time until he is in my hallway relieving himself, number 1 and number 2 sometimes. But I was wondering if he is doing it because I had a Chiuahua mixed with Rat terrier (female)that I was trying to break and never could so I got rid of her, she would use it in the hallway an places alot, could it be because the stuff has soaked into the padding an he smells it? I have shampooed like 12 times since Ive gotten rid of her an the odor is still horrendous so Im going to try the tips listed on this page, but I was wondering if anyone had any tips about why my Skye Terrier wants to do his thing in here instead of outside after this long?
i have tryed a bottle of hydrogen peroxide,hot water and juice from a fresh lemon in my carpet clesner…..it took out the stain and odor!!
TOM! EVERY DOG IS WORTH HAVING! ITS PEOPLE THAT CANT HANDLE THEM! TAKE SOME TRAINING YOURSELF, BEFORE YOU TRY TRAINING OTHERS!
