Cleaning
dog urine is perhaps the next worst task to
cleaning dog poop. Dog urine may vary according
to your dog's age, medical history, gender, and
health. Older dogs usually have a worse odor
smelling compared to younger dog's urine. Dog
urine stains may depend on several factors and
may be difficult to detect if your dog is free
to roam around your house. The earliest possible
chance you could clean up the mess, the easier
it is for you to remove stains caused by the dog
urine. Make sure to eliminate all odors even if
you cannot smell it because pets can smell the
faintest odor.
If they can smell urine odor,
most likely they will urinate on that same spot
causing more damage and inconvenience. You can
use nontoxic products that are specially made
for pet odors. If you prefer inexpensive
cleaning aids, you may use baking soda, vinegar,
and club soda. There are also organic cleaners
from pet shops. There are pet urine detectors
sold in pet shops in case you have a problem at
locating where your dog left his mess. Dog urine
detectors use a black light that gives off a
distinct glow when an area with pet urine is
detected. If you do not have detectors, you can
also manually spot dog urine stains on the floor
or carpet that has some discoloration.
The stain level of the dog
urine on your things will determine the kind of
treatment you should employ cleaning the stain.
Remember to vacuum first in order to remove your
pet's hair on the carpet prior to applying any
treatment. Non toxic products are effective in
eliminating waste while neutralizing odors. They
are also safer to animals. Clean thoroughly to
avoid permanent damage on your carpet or
upholstery. Be careful in using commercial
cleaners as they may further damage your carpet.
Most commercial cleaners are to be tested first
on a small part of the carpet prior to applying
on the stained area.
Apply a cleaner or neutralizer
formulated on the pet messes. If stain remains,
try another stain remover formulated for pet
stains. Remember not to use ammonia since
ammonia smells like urine to animals. It might
be mistaken as dog urine and might urinate on
that spot again. If in case cleaning results in
the surrounding area looks dingy, use a steam
vacuum to clean the carpet. It is quite
surprising to know that window cleaners can
actually help in cleaning dog urine. You just
have to spray the solution on the affected area
then blot the entire thing with tissue or
towels.
Dog urine is one of the most
inevitable messes you can have at home
especially if you have not yet trained your
puppy yet. That is why it is recommended that as
soon as you bring in a new pet into your home,
you must housebreak it as soon as possible. You
have to do potty training immediately so that
the dog may adapt quickly to your home. Tips on
cleaning your dog's mess will all be useless and
exhausting if your dog continuous to create mess
in your home. You have to train your pets in
this area since sanitation in your homes is very
essential to all the inhabitants of your home.
