Use old towels and tissues to absorb as much urine as possible. Continue soaking until the urine stain is only slightly damp.

Cover with newspaper. Tap the newspaper vigorously for at least 1 minute to absorb as much moisture as possible. After stomping, the urine stain should be almost completely dry.

Place wet wipes on the area where you want your pet to urinate, be it outside or in a separate litter box.

Wipe the urine stain with cool, clean water. Do it often and use a towel or a vacuum to remove as much water as possible.

Or you can pour a pet urine stain remover over the urine stain. Although the urine stain may appear to have been cleaned up, there may be traces on the carpet that cause the pet to want to urinate again in the spot. So, using a de-enzymatic product will help break down odor compounds to reduce the likelihood of attracting pets to that location.

Try a vinegar-base solution. Pour white vinegar into a small spray bottle. Spray on urine stains and then scrub with a brush. Leave for a while. After the solution penetrates the urine stain, use a vacuum cleaner or steam cleaner to clean it up.

Absolutely do not start cleaning immediately with vinegar . While it’s an effective cleaner, vinegar will “harden” the stain much like it hardens the Easter egg stain. Vinegar should only be used after trying other methods, and especially if you only want to neutralize the odor, not the stain.

Use black light to identify stains. Use chalk to highlight stains that are not visible to the naked eye to make sure no stains are missed.

Use warm water and a vacuum cleaner to wet the stain. Do not use hot water or steam cleaners. High temperatures will cause protein in the urine to stick to the carpet and become nearly impossible to remove. If you don’t have a water pump at home, you can rent one from outside.

Use a mixture of hydrogen peroxide, baking soda, and dishwashing liquid to remove odors. Hydrogen peroxide and baking soda are both well-known cleaners. Add a few drops of dishwashing liquid to start. Pour the mixture into a spray bottle and spray on the stain. Use a brush or sponge to rub the mixture onto the urine stain. Leave for 10-20 minutes and then test. To make a hydrogen peroxide mixture, you should put the following ingredients in a spray bottle:

30 ml hydrogen peroxide
3 teaspoons baking soda
2-3 drops of any dishwashing liquid ^{[2] X Research Source}

Use a pet urine stain remover. Use the same way as when using the product to remove wet stains.

Try an ammonia solution before using the hydrogen peroxide/baking soda mixture. If the stain is severe, you should try spraying some cool ammonia water on the stain (on carpet or clothing) first. Mix 2 tablespoons of ammonia water in 1 cup of cold water. ^{[3] X Source of Study} Use a spray bottle to spray the mixture to completely cover the stain. Use a scouring brush to scrub the stain. Wait at least 45 minutes before using the hydrogen peroxide cleaning solution as directed above.

Wash carpets with a vacuum cleaner. There are many carpet cleaning products specifically designed to remove pet urine stains. Be sure to scrub the urine stain and then vacuum up the carpet cleaning product.

Wipe again if necessary. Wipe the stain spot one last time and you’re done. The stain should be gone and there should be no foul smell.

Advice

Sunlight helps to deodorize, so if you can bring items with urine outside, you can leave them outside for a few days. NOTE: Sunlight can also fade colors.
When choosing an enzyme-based deodorant and stain remover, you should choose one that contains “good bacteria”. This bacteria enhances the staining and deodorizing effect.
It is not necessary to scrub with a good enzyme stain remover. One important thing to remember is that you need to saturate the stain so that you have access to all the uric acid crystals left over from the urine stain. It is not necessary to use a good enzymatic stain remover as it is a waste of time and money. For long-lasting stains and odors, you may even have to use the stain remover a second time.
A mixture of vinegar and water can neutralize odors.
If you accidentally wet your bed and are embarrassed to tell your parents, you can pretend to clean and wash the sheets, just like helping around the house.
If cleaning cat urine stains, you should not use ammonia water or vinegar. These scents resemble urine and can make cats want to urinate in the same spot.
Do not leave urine traces. Firstly, leaving it as it is, it looks awful. Second, other people will probably see. Third, urine can make you sick. For the body, liquid urine is harmful, unnecessary and useless. Since it’s harmful, it’s not a good idea to leave the stain there without cleaning it up.

Warning

Warning! Stay away from overpriced cleaning products. They are not effective. You don’t have to spend a fortune to buy the best enzyme cleaner. There are many good enzyme products available at affordable prices.
