When pets begin urinating in the house, carpeting is one of the top choices for this inappropriate behavior, and, unfortunately, one of the most difficult to clean. Even worse, when urine odor persists in your carpet it encourages your pet to continue using the same area for elimination. Here are some helpful tips to stop this housebreaking problem in its tracks.
Find All Pet Urine Stains
The sooner you find the spots where your pet is urinating the better. Fresh urine is much easier to remove from carpeting than is urine that has had a chance to soak into the carpet padding and dry. So, for starters, use you eyes, nose and touch to identify the soiled areas. If you have been finding feces in the house, it is a pretty safe bet that the pet is also urinating in that area as well.
Using Black Light to Find Urine Stains
To find older, dried soiled areas, a black-light can be invaluable. You will have pet odor problems and your pet will continue to soil the rug until you completely remove absolutely all of the stains. If you find areas using the black-light that are not visible with the naked eye, use chalk to outline the affected carpeting. If you find pet urine on washable items, soak them with enzymatic cleaner (see below) and then throw them in the washing machine for one or more cycles.
