 Carpet Cleaning
I have that heavy duty one. After my hoover broke, I bought a Heavy Duty Rug Doctor at Sam's Club. This little guy is breaking me. He keeps going back to the same 2 places and pees. Yesterday I dumped 1/2 solution of white vinegar and water and added baking soda - I immediately dumped it over the soiled areas. Then I cleaned it with my steam cleaner using carpet cleaner and odor remover additive. I think I got good results, it is still a little damp, but I can smell any urine. Why does he keep going back there??? I am safe as long as I take him out every 1 1/2 to 2 hours. While I am at work he is confined to the laundry room with a grass potty mat. He will usually hold his pee until I get home about 8 hours later - but sometimes he uses his mat (which is ok - that's why it is there). I have put a gate at the bottom of the stairs (he pees on the landing) so he has no access to one of the favorate pee spots and I put his water bowel and feed him at the other spot. Do you think he goes back because he still smells pee or is this just a bad habit that needs to be broken (by taking him out every 1 1/2 hours). If I keep cleaning this carpet as much as I am, it is going to fall apart. Any suggestions would really be appreciated. Thanks, Elle |
