Hi all, was upstairs sorting washing came down too find the dog had peed in three different places in the hall:mad: now I have a carpet shampooer which I am going to get out, however is there anything I need to do before hand?

Many thanks

Get tea towels or lots of kitchen roll and trample hard on them over the spots to lift as much moisture as poss - it takes several tea towels. I then scrub with bio washing powder in warm water - the bio bit helps lift the smell and discolouration.

Thank you sooo much thrift monster, have got most of the moisture up with some towels, haven't got a washing powder so will have to try cleaning the carpet with my shampooer, was planning on doing so, but much later in the week lol

thanks again.

If this happens again, put enough soda water on it to cover the wet patch and leave it for a couple of mins. Then cover with clean towels and dry the carpet. This will prevent it staining and smelling and the carpet can be cleaned at your leisure

Not very OS but antimicrobial stain and odour remover from Pets at Home does the job-about £1.79ish,a normal stain:eek:takes 3-4 squirts and its brill-no smell and no stain and will last(hopefullly)for a few months.
