• Step #1-Put a thick layer of towels on the wet stain and then cover it with newspaper and press down firmly for a minute. Repeat this step until the carpet feels mostly dry or hopefully, dry.

• Step #2- Mix up a vinegar solution using one cap of vinegar to 6 ounces of water. This is a nice natural pet odor remover and pet stain remover that won’t waste a ton of dollars or contain chemicals that are harmful for your pet. Vinegar is also a great way to neutralize the smell of urine in a way that store brand pet odor remover won’t! Be careful! Too much vinegar in the mixture can fade the carpet color.

• Step #3- Pour this vinegar solution or cool water on the stain. Be sure to allow the carpet to “drink in” the solution for a bit. And then after 10-15 minutes later, use paper towel to soak up the solution.

• Step #4- Removing pet stains from carpet takes a bit of time, but it’s worth it. A few hours later or longer—depending on how long it takes your carpet to dry—use some baking soda over the stained area to neutralize any left over odor.
