- 1). Use a black light to find all the dried urine stains in your home.
- 2). Wet vacuum the areas affected with the dried urine. Only use warm water. If you use hot water it will permanently set the urine stain and smell by bonding the protein into the carpet.
- 3). Soak the entire area with an enzymatic cleaner. This cleaner will neutralize any active odor-causing bacteria contained in the dried urine. Let the cleaner get absorbed by both the carpet and the padding underneath. Check the label on the cleaner for the recommended time to let the cleaner sit. Typically you must leave it there until it dries.
- 4). Shampoo your carpet using the wet vacuum. Get a special pet-stain removing shampoo for the areas that appear discolored.
- 5). Go over the area again using the wet vacuum. Fill the wet vacuum with water and vinegar. This mixture helps to get all of the soap and chemicals out of your carpet.
- 6). Let the area dry for at least 24 hours. You can use a fan to help speed up the waiting time.
- 7). Repeat this process if a stain remains.
