Cleaning Dog Pee
Accidents happen, but here’s how to clean up dog pee effectively and keep your floors fresh:
1️⃣ Act Quickly: Blot the area with paper towels or a clean cloth to soak up as much urine as possible. Avoid rubbing, as it can spread the stain.
2️⃣ Neutralize the Odor: Mix equal parts white vinegar and water, then pour or spray it on the stain. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes to break down the odor-causing enzymes.
3️⃣ Clean Thoroughly: Sprinkle a little baking soda over the area after applying the vinegar solution. This will help neutralize any remaining odors. Let it sit for about 15 minutes, then vacuum it up.
4️⃣ For Carpets: Use an enzymatic cleaner designed for pet stains. These cleaners break down proteins in the urine, eliminating the smell completely.
5️⃣ Prevent Recurrence: Clean regularly and consider using a pet-friendly deterrent spray to discourage future accidents in the same spot.
With a little care and the right products, you can keep your home smelling fresh and clean—even with furry friends around!
