| I like nature's miracle! There is also an arm and hammer pet spray that works well and you get at target. I clean my carpets once a week with a steam cleaner and use the pet solution. My girl is finally catching on though and we have a lot less accidents. Good luck!!!

| I spray the natures miracle on the spots that I know are there, then I use the bissell pet solution in the steam cleaner. Do not blot up the natures miracle and let it sit on the spots for a little while before cleaning. It takes the stain away and kills the enzymes that makes them want to pee there again. Hope this helps!!

| I also have the Bissell machine and LOVE it! Their pet stain formula is fantastic! Nature's Miracle is great too. Just make sure that it's made for pet stains. Those have a special enzyme that you need. The next time we need to do something with the carpet, we're going to replace it with tile. It should make life a lot easier. My sister's whole house is tile and they have very few issues with allergies now. And her house looks amazingly beautiful as well.

| I love Nature's Miracle and even though Bailey's 10 months and has been trained on the pads for ages, she still like to use the carpet too (little punk). Sometimes I might not find the stain until weeks later, but I just spray on the Nature's Miracle and leave it, and the stain dissappears! With all the many spots she's left on my carpet, you'd never know to look at it.

| I really like Nature's Miracle too. Something funny about cleaning carpets. I have a light tan runner down the hall. When I first used it on that rug, there was a nice little clean ring. LOL It worked great on the whole rug... |

| I am a huge believer in 1tbsp baking soda a squirt of dish soap and 8oz or hydrogen peroxide. It works great will never by another pet carpet cleaner ever.... Leaves house fresh smelling and you could put it in your carpet cleaner or even in squirt bottle..

| Thanks a lot. It looks good but does the peroxide bleach out the color? My rugs are very colorful and I would hate to bleach them out. What type of carpet have you tried this on? |

Yorkie Kisses are the Best! Donating Member | It DOES work - I use 1/2 and 1/2 for the occasional 'Cheri' accident - She had pads on my patio but when it rains she isn't too keen on going out there.... I just found a fantastic product that hotels and fire restoration people use and have a bottle that someone gave me as a gift - they wholesale only but we're working on getting someone to retail it out - it's the best stuff I've ever used for household odors - takes out smoke - litter box smells - you name it .....and the best thing is you only need 3 sprays and viola - your home smells great for at least 24 hours. I should know price and shipping cost today if you're interested - It comes in a quart bottle and will be under 25 dollars but will last more than 6 months due to the fact that you only need a few sprays - Kind of like Fabreeze only 10 times stronger if you're interested pm me - |

| I keep a bottle of vinegar and water handy. It's also great for stain removal as well. |
