Question

I have a puppy, who has taken to peeing on the carpet on my upstairs landing. In this warn weather, the smell is really starting to bug me. I've tried all sorts. Any suggestions for getting rid of the smell and also stopping him from peeing there? Charley Powell

Answer 1

I work in a vets. You need to pat up but not rub what's there. Sprinkle with bicarb to soak rest and hoover up. Then use biological washing powder (not non-bio! ) 10% solution with warm water, scrub, dab up, leave to dry and then sprinkle bicarb again, leave for a few hours and hoover up. If it's the same spot each time he can probably smell it from last time, if it's different spots it's more difficult to stop him

Answer 2

Simple Solution Stain and Odour Remover

Answer 3

I use something from amazon called envii It's amazing stuff , my kitten used to wee on my sofa, this stuff totally got rid of it ! It around 9. 99 but worth it !  

Answer 4

Don't use bleach as it smells like urine to them and will mark they're territory by peeing again

Answer 5

Cover in biological washing powder and lightly spray with white vinegar and leave over night if possible. Hoover and repeat if necessary. The washing powder breaks down and neautralises the enzymes in the wee. The shops own ones work absolutely fine it doesn't need to be branded :-)

This, also if possible lift the carpet and clean the floorboards and underlay with bio washing detergent, let dry thoroughly before putting the carpet back.  

Answer 6

Put bicarbonate soda on the top. Leave for an hour at least then hoover

Answer 7

Put a safety gate up so he can’t get up the stairs and try this esp for pets , it kills the bacteria that cause the smell  xx

Answer 8

Biological soap powder and give it a good scrub and rinse with plain water x

Answer 9

To move his 'pee spot' you need to soak it up with kitchen roll and place the kitchen roll where tou want him to pee. He will smell where he went and repeat it. When he needs to go place him in the new area where he can smell the kitchen roll and he will learn that is the new place to go. reward new pee spot and try not to punish old pee spot. The encouragement works better than the scoulding. Good luck x

@sosa6 I used to do this with a puppy pad when my dog was little. Soak it up in the puppy pad then put the pad where you want him to go as suggested above.  

Answer 10

Spray with a weak solution of white spirit -stopped my cat doing it x

Answer 11

There is specific cleaners for taking the smell of urine away but if its hapening alot then chances are that its soaked through to the floor boards which means lifting carpet and bleaching floorboards also sprinkle pepper in the places that the pup is peeing and let them sniff it and sternly tell them bad!  

Answer 12

Urine off

Answer 13

Carpet 1001. I think they even do one specifically for pets x

Answer 14

Answer 15

It's a nightmare my dogs weed all over my sons carpet during the night a few times when he's left his door open and the smell is unreal. I've tried everything now I think it's probably in the underlay so whole lot will need replacing. Ripped up my friends carpet few months back as she had an elderly dog who keep weeing and even though she'd cleaned it up the underlay STANK and I mean stank to the point I felt physically sick

Answer 16

White vinegar mixed with water takes smell away xxx

Answer 17

I used shaving foam, worked a treat x

Answer 18

Defo pat as much up with paper towel as you can and scrub with biological soap powder !  

Answer 19

Rug doctor sell a pet one that works really good! Can pick up from anywhere that have rug doctors for hire.  

Answer 20

It will be in the underlay, that's where the smell will be coming from, lift it x

Answer 21

Urine neutraliser. You can buy in 1 litre ready to use or 5 litre concentrated bottles to dilute yourself - this is what they use in care homes. If its soaked through the underlay into the boards then even this might not be enough. You can spray on, or use concentrate in a carpet cleaner such as a rug doctor, or better still get a decent Vax.  

Answer 22

Hi the best thing to use is biological washing powders. I have a liquid that I mix with water. The important thing is to break down the enzymes so the dog doesn’t return. Some products just mask the smell. Google it. Most rescues recommend it. And it’s cheap and easily accessible.  

Answer 23

Herbal K9 solutions. Odour Fresh - Pear Drop scent, fabulous product, indoor use, dog beds, patios etc. (I've used for years. It works)  Regarding puppy peeing, as soon as he has a drink, eats or plays. Take him in the garden and give command. Wee wee, get busy or whatever you choose. Your pup will soon get the hang of where he needs to go. It's a case of watching him like a hawk. (keep him away from that area as much as possible). The signs of needing loo are sniffing and circling.

Answer 24

There are enzyme sprays that will completely clear this up, even soaked in ancient wees. You wet the area with the spray and the enzymes digest the wee, with nothing left. Even your puppy won't be able to smell it. The only catch is the cost of them. The one I use is AUD $28 for a spray bottle.
