    I've aired the room now and there were some marks on the skirting which I think were urine stains, which I've wipe off. The room smells pretty normal now (me and a friend's opinion) but I need someone else to double check.
    Where can I get some Neutrodol? I think I might give it a try just to get rid of any lingering smells.

    Neutradol is available in Poundland.

  • My friends were looking to rent for a while (not near you though). They have a dog and there was NOTHING available to rent which allowed pets. They had to move because of job relocation and had got to the point where there would have paid over the odds in rent to be allowed to take their dog. I would really recommend letting it to pet owners for an increased premium to help save up for new carpets if that is what you want... or just for the extra money.
  • Hi I am one of those dreaded dog owners and I use cheap cornflour mixed with bicarbonated soda and it works a treat. Hope this helps:T

    Get them cleaned again

    If the smell is still there then maybe going to the expense of changing the carpets.

    Maybe next time state in your lease no pets.
    Maybe the dogs weren't to blame....

    Yep, I have heard this works as well.

    I would replace the carpets - but thats me, Im not a 'doggy' person.
    Kim and Aggie would do the cornflour and bicarb jobby.
