Types of the urine stain

Urine stains can be broadly divided into two types.

  • Wet stain – When the carpet has just been stained by urine.
  • Dry stain – When you discover the urine stain much after it was done and gets dry.

Best ways to remove urine from carpet

Some of the common urine carpet stain removers to remove urine stains from carpets are as follows 

Plain water

If the urine stain has already dried, rinse the area with plain water and use a wet-dry vacuum cleaner. Repeat the process. Instead, you can also use warm water to wet the spot and blot it using clean towels.

Don’t use steam cleaners as their heat permanently sets the stain and urine odor.

 Enzymatic cleaner

These bio-based stain cleansers remove smells and stains by working on a molecular level. A specific type of cleanser is available for different stains – e.g., an enzyme-based cleaner made especially for pet stains.

 Soap Water

On the stain, spray the solution of a few drops of a dishwasher with a cup of warm water. After 5-10 minutes, dab it with a wet towel and clean the remains with a vacuum cleaner.

 Paper towel + newspaper

Place a thick layer of paper towels above and below the wet stain and cover it with a thick layer of newspaper. For better absorbance of urine, stand on the paper for a few minutes. Then remove the paper and cleanse the area with cold water.Baking soda removes the odor once the carpet is almost dry. Cover the stain with a thin layer of ¼ cup of baking soda, leave it overnight, and vacuum repeatedly.

 Baking soda + vinegar

Apply a solution of one cup of water, one cup of distilled white vinegar, and two teaspoons of baking soda to the stain. Blot with a towel after some time.

Baking Soda + Detergent

Apply the paste of one pound of baking soda and detergent to the urine stain for some time and rinse with water. Then remove it with a vacuum cleaner.If the carpet is small and machine washable, wash it in the above mixture and air dry it for better results.

 Hydrogen Peroxide + water

Apply a mixture of half a cup of hydrogen peroxide with 2 cups of cold water to the stain and blot it with a clean cloth.It’s better to spray baking soda on the stain before using the hydrogen peroxide mixture.

 Salt

Sprinkle a layer of salt on the urine to absorb the moisture and smell. After 5-10 minutes, clean it with a vacuum cleaner, which works best for wet stains. However, in dry stains, first, dampen them with water.

 Carpet cleaner

Rent a carpet cleaner for stains that have already been set. After cleaning the area, use a high-quality odor neutralizer. If the spot remains after drying, then use a carpet stain remover.

 Bleaching

In extreme cases, chlorine bleaches the fabric, and oxygen bleach is harmful to most fabric types. So, use this method only if none of the above-mentioned methods works.

 Professional Help

If the pee stain is hectic to remove, call for professionals to complete the cleaning service effectively.

Conclusion

You should always take precautions to protect your carpet from urine stains.If your pet is responsible for this, make your carpet unattractive/ unavailable for your pet while making the washroom attractive enough. Remove the odor properly because if your pet smells, it may continue to pee there. Re-train your pet on indoor etiquettes. If your pet continues to do it frequently, visit a vet to know if the pet has some bladder issue.

In case a baby is responsible, keep them away from the carpet and try teaching proper household etiquette.
