“Accidents” sometimes
happen; for example, when a puppy is being housebroken,
when a senior dog has a “lapse,” or when any pet forgets
himself in a moment of excitement. This is why all dog
owners should always have a pet stain and odor remover
on hand at home. Following these guidelines will help
you clean up accidents thoroughly, so they’re less
likely to happen again.
-
Act quickly after
the accident to prevent stains and odors from
becoming more deeply embedded.
-
Use a product
developed specifically for removing pet stains and
odors, instead of household cleaners. A household
cleaner will remove the visible stain, but it will
only mask the odor. With their sensitive sense of
smell, dogs will be able to recognize the odor
behind this chemical cover-up. This will make them
more liable to mark that spot again.
-
Wipe or blot liquid
from the soiled area before applying the stain and
odor remover.
-
Don’t rub the stain
and odor remover into the area, since this will make
the stain spread. It is better to clean by using
blotting or patting motions.
-
Always work from the
outside into the center of the stain to prevent
spreading.
-
Get to the source of
the odor by cleaning both the pad under the carpet
and the floorboards.
-
If possible, avoid
exposing the soiled area to direct sunlight, since
this will help the stain settle into the carpet.
