| Professionally Cleaned Carpet Works.. I have one room that i cannot seem to get the pee smell out of even after I steam clean them myself, if I was to get them professionally cleaned would it take away that smell? I do not have stains anywhere just the stench... |

Donating YT 30K Club Member | I get mine professionally steam cleaned at least once a year and it smells good for about a week but then the odor comes back. I think it is near impossible to get the smell out of the pads. I steam clean myself every week now since Pixie is not getting the potty training thing.

| We tried it and it only helped a little. We are ripping the downstairs carpet out in 2 weeks and putting in a floor. Now that they are housetrained, we are just going to replace the upstairs carpet. When we rip it up, I am going to take pictures of the stains underneath. Loki has been house trained forever now and Sammy is so tiny her accidents were tiny, but she's trained now too. We're still getting rid of it...

| If I tried the black light thing, my whole house would glow! The only room without carpet is the bathroom and the only place they don't pee is the bathroom. Go figure .

| Well, my master bathroom DOES have carpet. Can you think of a more stupid design?? Luckily my kitchen, dining room, laundry room and pantry have hardwood inspired vinyl flooring. The guest bath has the same vinyl flooring, but it's pretty tiny. I am trying very hard to keep up with the urine stains on the carpet, so I think I will go buy a black light, but I really dread it.

| IDK for sure, but I'm going to look where the lamps are at Walmart and Home Depot. Anyone know if I can just buy the cheapest?

| I have been adding febreze for pet odors to the water in the steam cleaner and it seems to work. |

| Chem-Dry around here (I think they're national) has a pet urine treatment. They come in with a black light, treat all the spots, and come back 48 hours later to clean the carpet. I had it done a few years ago after Gracie was trained and so far no stains and no urine smell at all. It was a bit expensive as I recall. |

I bought one when my poodle became incontinent so I could find the places he'd gone before I started putting a belly band on him. It works very well to show the spots. Just enzyme the heck out of them which will really help alot but it still never quite gets it all if you don't find the spot while it's wet. I've used gallons of the stuff since I got Tink. Now she's nearly trained but still has the occassional accident. I pour Simple Solution on it, let it sit a bit, soak it up as much as possible, pour on some more and let it dry. It does quite well and I don't notice any odor. I put pea pads under my area rug though because I don't want her to have an accident there and have it go into the carpet. Once in a while (a humid day) I can smell that area rug though. Its going in the trash soon unless I can think of a way to clean it. I think Indy must have hit it and I didn't know it. | |

| New kind of carpet padding I had the same problem with a new house I bought. Only the bedrooms were carpeted but the carpet smelled like urine. I had it professionally cleaned and the smell just kept coming back because it had soaked into the padding. I had new carpet installed and they told me about a special kind of carpet pad that prevented urine from soaking into the pad. It had some kind of plastic barrier on it. It was only a few cents extra so I went for it. In total I think it cost me around $50 extra for the special padding. It really works. Bailey has been having some incontinence problems lately and the pad keeps all of the urine in the carpet which I can clean versus the pad which I can't.
