Cleaning Dog Poop Out Of Your Carpet
Anyone who has dogs has done it at one time or another. You go out into your backyard and unknowingly step in your dog’s mess. Since you didn’t realize you stepped it in it, you track it back through your house. Eventually you will start to smell it, if you haven’t seen it in your carpeting yet. Or maybe you have indoor dogs and they didn’t quite make it outside to do their business.
As with many carpet stains, the sooner you see it and take care of it, the less of a chance that it will become a permanent stain. So be calm and work fast to avoid further carpet damage.
Step 1—Collect the poop and any debris from the area and throw it out. Blot up any liquid mess.
Step 2 – Next you can treat the area with a variety of different cleaning products. You can spray on some laundry stain remover to pre-treat the stain. Next get some soapy water and a brush to scrub the area. Keep clean towels handy to blot up the liquid and keep the moisture level in the carpet. Repeat this process until the stain is gone.
Step 3—There may be some odor of the dog poop left behind after the stain is gone. The help get rid of the odor; treat the area with a half and half mix of vinegar and water. Repeat the process of pouring the mix on the stain and drying it up with towels. Baking soda is also good for absorbing odor, so you can sprinkle some on the stained area and let it settle in. Leave it there for a good amount of time and then vacuum it up.
