Home Recipes for Carpet Stains From Pets

Furry and feathered friends make wonderful companions and add to the quality of life. Even if your pet is well-trained, an occasional accident can still occur due to illness, age, stress or excitement. There are many commercial products on the market to help you clean carpet stains caused by your pets, but these products often contain harmful chemicals. Home recipes made with effective ingredients and supplies work just as well to remove pet stains without leaving unsafe chemical residue behind.

Instructions

    • 1

      Scrape feces off the carpet with a plastic spoon. Discard both the waste and the spoon in a sealed trash bag.

    • 2

      Press paper towels into the carpeting to absorb moisture from the stain. Repeat this until no further moisture is absorbed into the towels. Discard the paper towels in a sealed trash bag.

    • 3

      Place 2 tablespoons of meat tenderizer in a small bowl. Add 2 tablespoons of baking soda. Stir the two with a spoon until blended well.

    • 4

      Cover the stained carpet with the meat tenderizer and baking soda mixture. Allow the mixture to remain on the carpet for 20 minutes; the meat tenderizer breaks down the protein in the urine or feces while the baking soda absorbs the odor. Vacuum the carpeting to remove the powdered mixture.

    • 5
      Dishwashing detergent safely cleans carpet stains.

      Fill a spray bottle with 6 ounces of water. Add 1 teaspoon of dishwashing detergent and 1 tablespoon of white vinegar. Shake the spray bottle to mix the ingredients. Use this solution to clean and deodorize any remaining urine or feces stains left on the carpet.

    • 6

      Spray at the site of the pet stain until the carpet is moist. Blot the carpet with a dry cloth to absorb the stain. Repeat this step for two to three minutes.

    • 7

      Rinse the carpet by sponging it with a damp cloth. Absorb the moisture with dry cloths before allowing your carpet to air dry.
