The first step in cleaning a pet urine stain from a carpet is to remove as much of the urine as possible. This can be done by blotting the stain with a clean, white cloth or paper towel. Press down firmly to absorb as much urine as possible. Repeat this process until no more urine can be removed.
Eco-friendly Pet Urine Removal From Carpets
Once the urine has been removed, the next step is to neutralize the stain and remove any remaining odour. One eco-friendly option for this step is to use a solution of white vinegar and water. Mix equal parts white vinegar and water in a spray bottle and generously spray the stain. Allow the solution to sit for 5-10 minutes, then blot with a clean cloth or paper towel to remove any remaining moisture.
Another eco-friendly option is to use baking soda. Sprinkle baking soda generously over the stain, then spray with a solution of water and a few drops of essential oils (such as lemon or lavender) to help mask any remaining odour. Allow the baking soda to sit for at least 30 minutes, then vacuum up the powder.

In any case, ALWAYS test the product on a small, inconspicuous area of the carpet first to ensure that it won’t cause any discolouration or damage.
After cleaning the stain, it’s important to prevent future accidents by providing your pet with regular opportunities to relieve themselves, as well as using training pads or crate training. Additionally, consider using a pet repellent spray around the house to discourage your pet from urinating in the wrong place.
Conclusion
Pet urine stains on carpets can be cleaned using a variety of eco-friendly options such as white vinegar and baking soda, as well as commercial products available online. The key to effective cleaning is to remove as much urine as possible and neutralize any remaining odour. Additionally, preventing future accidents by providing your pet with regular opportunities to relieve themselves, as well as using training pads or crate training is important.
If you experience any issues when trying to remove a stain, or don’t feel confident in tackling a pet urine issue, then it’s best to stop and call a professional. Incorrect application of a commercial product can trap a stain into the carpet fibres and, worse still may cause irreversible damage to your carpet.
