Ah yeah, just pop down to Boots and stock up on Fox Piss, piece of cake.
EDIT: Having said that, you can apparently buy it, so... ok. Fine.
Deep cleaning will not cut it, because the urine is in the pores of the wood.
You might be able to get rid of the smell with an enzyme product:
https://www.amazon.com/Natures-Miracle-Remover-24-Ounce-P-5553/dp/B001LUO1K8
But the top layer of that wood is toast. Nothing you can do short of sanding it down to undamaged wood.
It'll remove it. If not on the first wash, then stop by a pet supply store or Amazon and look for "Nature's Miricle" products. I have a massive german shepherd and when we were house training her, she had some issues... Many rugs, blankets, and duvets were saved because of that product. I would wash that quilt a couple of times, just to be totally sure.
Going forward, I would be mindful how much time and attention you give everyone. Your dog may be marking/spraying because they're upset the new baby is getting the attention the dog used to be getting. Or it really could just be territorial. I've seen dogs do it before, and thankfully they usually stop as the baby gets older.
You might try wiping surfaces with a diluted mixture of vinegar and water. The persistent smell could be trapped in grease molecules/residue in the vent hood, on cabinets, backsplashes, etc. and this should help.
Nature's Miracle and OdoBan are my go-to's for porous surfaces. Maybe spritz one of those on the walls and carpets, then air out.
It makes sense. I wonder what would happen if you were able to remove the cat smell/pee smell from the outside of your house. Other cats shouldn't be coming around if there's no scent or food out.
According to that cat whisperer guy this is the stuff that will get rid of the smell: http://www.amazon.com/Fizzion-Remover-32-Ounce-Bottle-2-Pack/dp/B002DXA43U/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1382173436&sr=8-2&keywords=co2+cat+urine+cleaner
So, I definitely agree on the positive reinforcement training!
He can be trained. We adopted a 2 year old lab that had been abused in his first home and while it took a year of intense training, he went from being aggressive and horrible on walks and easily scared to being one of the sweetest most social dogs I've ever met.
To get rid of urine smells I would try Nature's Miracle enzyme cleaner. You should also use it whenever the dog has an accident in the house. Non-enzyme cleaners cover up the smell so you can't smell it, but the dog still can so they will go in the same place over and over again. Nature's Miracle makes a whole line of cleaners for different surfaces, so buy whatever you need. https://www.amazon.com/Natures-Miracle-Advanced-Remover-24-Ounce/dp/B00251M2L2/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1467488216&sr=8-4&keywords=nature%27s+miracle
I would look into some training classes so you can work with a trainer. The classes will cost money, so talk to your parents about that. You can reach out to the shelter where you got the pup or the local ASPCA/Humane Society - they typically have a good classes for reasonable prices. Also, try PetsMart for classes.
Also, for the peeing everywhere problem, make sure you check with the vet to rule out any health issues. Also, is the dog fixed? I'm guessing yes since he was a rescue, but it might also explain some of the aggression.
Good luck!
Your not even going to give him a link on where to?
I used this in the past. Comes in pack of 3, my car needed 2 to do the job. It leaked water at the time through the sunroof and took on some heavy rain and sat in the driveway for a while (weeks) before we actually went into the car and discovered the disgusting problem. There was mold growing on the seats. It needed a deep clean obviously which we simply did ourselves with various cleaners, but the odor was still there. These bombs got rid of that.
This! Odor bomb is amazing. We used it when I worked at a used car dealership. New car smell every time. https://www.amazon.com/Dakota-OBNA-5-Bomb-Eliminator-Neutral/dp/B006T1RBGA
We've been using Biokleen powdered detergent and Biokleen Bac-Out since our firstborn was a baby. The laundry powder comes in unscented as well as non-offensive, lightly scented citrus varieties. Both products are great for stains, eco-friendly, and non-irritating. Bac-Out is especially wonderful in eradicating poop and spit up! We've never had any issues with skin irritation with either product, plus the laundry powder lasts much longer than liquid detergent.
a. Clean the area with an enzymatic cleaner (Nature's Miracle is my favorite). Cleaning with vinegar means he is still able to smell previous messes, making accidents in that same spot more likely.
b. Block off that hallway for the time being unless you are physically present with him. Every time he potties down there, he's practicing a bad habit.
Right now he just thinks the hallway is an okay place to potty. If you clean the area thoroughly and make sure all his trips down that hallway are supervised for a period of time, you'll be setting him up for success and will help him learn that it is not a place to potty.
If you turn on the exhaust while cooking, and just get one of these it takes care of the problem perfectly. I interact with plenty of non-Indian in the US, and do regularly try out all sorts of cuisines, but I do cook mostly Indian food, just because I feel like it.
I also find Indians who keep apologizing for other Indians a bit silly. We're a country of 1.2 billion, so obviously there's a fair share of idiots. I just don't associate with the crazy ones, but I don't feel I have to apologize for their behaviour.
I think he means these things. I've seen them for cars too.
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B001SBMLAM/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_awdb_2kXgAbJF8SA93
I too use my car a lot but I used to hate driving around with a car that reeks, aside from air freshners looking into getting these:
Bad air sponge: http://www.amazon.com/The-Original-Sponge-Odor-Neutralant/dp/B001SBMLAM
Smoke buddy filter: http://smokebuddy.com/
So sorry to hear that! I would definitely try to wash it. My cat peed in my husband's car on the way home from the vet and we got the smell out with vinegar and one of these odor absorbers.
Urine has ammonia in it. Most cleaning products you're able to find in the cleaning aisle at Wal-Mart also have ammonia, including Resolve's pet formula and 409 for carpet. If you clean with ammonia, it's going to be really hard to get rid of the pet urine smell, since the cleaner isn't breaking down that ammonia. The best thing I have found to do (shy of shampooing the carpet, which gets really old) is to use an enzymatic cleaner. The enzymes break down the ammonia and help get rid of the smell. BONUS-your pet also won't smell the ammonia, since it's being broken down, and this prevents re-soiling in the same spot!
I use OUT! brand pet stain and odor remover. It hasn't turned my carpets a weird color or anything! I get it in the pet care aisle at Wal-Mart, where the dog shampoo is. Here's the product on Amazon, if you'd rather order it. I usually get it for $5 at Wal-Mart. The one I use has a purple label, but I believe it has the same ingredients as the one on Amazon.
Hope that helps! I don't think I've used the word ammonia as much before. Lol
I bought this because my house started smelling funky in a few places. In a small enclosed area, it really does work very well. I am going to purchase a few more, actually. One for each affected area/room.
Vacuum the rugs, sweep the floors often etc. If you have rugs, I suggest sprinkling some baking soda on rugs and letting sit for 15 minutes before vacuuming. Also, this sounds kind of silly, but crack a window here and there to let some fresh air in and the bad air out. I find that a lot of products (chemicals) all mixed together (Febreeze on furniture, air fresheners etc) don't really work. It still smells like dog on top of whatever scent you're using and the scent doesn't seem to last all that long, anyway.
Good luck!
PS... I forgot to mention that I have a pitbull that likes to roll around in the grass and dirt in my backyard.
Some people swear by Windex, I swear by Nature's Miracle: https://www.amazon.com/Natures-Miracle-Stain-Remover-Spray/dp/B00HCIWJ7A
I deal with water leaks fairly frequently at work. The easiest way to dry it out (after mopping up as much as you can of the water of course) is to run it with the heater on full blast for a few hours at a time. Parking it in a garage with a household dehumidifier running and all the windows down will help as well. Once it's fully dry, clean the mildewy spots as best as you can with a mild soap solution, then run with the heat on full blast for a few hours again to re-dry it. Then buy a couple of air sponges like http://www.amazon.com/Bad-Air-Sponge-Odor-Neutralant/dp/B001SBMLAM and let them sit in their, and use the car normally, and see if you can still smell mildew after a week or two.
Only after that would I start worrying about gutting it to clean it properly. You'd be surprised how well just getting it dry will clean it up.
I had to start spraying this on the underarms of my polyester work shirts: [Nature's Miracle Stain and Odor Remover (24 oz Spray- 2 Pack)] (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00HCIWJ7A/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_if.RzbCAH015P)
It was the only thing that got the funk out! I haven't tried spraying anything without washing it afterwards, but the spray does not have a strong odor. It should work!
Keep at it, it's so incredibly frustrating when you're already stretched with the baby! We assumed the dog was freaked out by our kid so went full-calm down mode. We crated at night because the messing happened then (also during the day) but we also used the crate as his sanctuary so he was able to get away from the baby. Maybe if crating isn't working try a thunder vest or similar? These were the herbs we used: Hilton Canine Tranquility Dry Herbal Mix 125 g https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B003MGIN08/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_DHSRzbFH57Z3W more expensive than some but this mix seemed to work best.
We also got the Adaptil pheromone collar (m/l size) plus the plug-in (again, Amazon!)
Definately get a belly band!!
Enzyme cleaner (buy bulk!!): Simple Solution Stain and Odour Remover for Dogs, 4 Litre https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B004HYU79O/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_XPSRzbZAYTFEJ
One other thing we did was had him walked by a professional dog walker twice a week with other dogs - the socialisation really seemed to help!!
Best of luck! Our hound and my son are now best of friends, it was really tough but worth it in the end!
Disinfectant spray generally shouldn't have any ill effects on the denim. I have used Nature's Miracle before, it definitely will help with any odor problems (which stem from bacteria in the first place). It's strong stuff, basically made for pet stain odors. Basically the instructions say "if it still smells when it dries, you didn't use it right".
Let him eat outside and immediately bring him to the spot you want him to pee. Praise him profusely. Do this until he is consistent. Could take a couple weeks.
We have long grass out back and I taught my dog to go potty in there (#1 + #2) so I don’t have to pick up the poo!
The BEST thing for neutralizing odor is Nature’s Miracle.
I think you should try the NM hardwood floor spray first just in case before using the red bottle. Vinegar and baking soda won't do the trick, you need these enzymatic cleaners
Hardwood: https://www.amazon.com/Natures-Miracle-Remover-24-Ounce-P-5553/dp/B001LUO1K8
Hardcore Mode: http://www.naturesmiracle.com/products/dog/stain-and-odor/advanced-stain-and-odor-eliminator.aspx
Yes. The advanced formula for carpet is what I'd buy:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00251M2L2/ref=mp_s_a_1_3?qid=1449071464&sr=8-3&pi=SY200_QL40&keywords=natures+miracle&dpPl=1&dpID=413h1BH7dQL&ref=plSrch
For fresh stains, blot up all the urine with paper towels first. Spray the stuff on and let it sit. I think the bottle says 5 min or so. Then you wipe up the leftover chemicals with a fresh paper towel. It removes the stain and the odor completely.
For old stains (dried in), you spray it on and wait longer. It works pretty decently for this purpose, whereas the SpotBot hardly works at all for dried stains.
My advice as a sitter is to completely prevent access to carpeted areas of your home, until the dog can be 100% trusted. Baby gates suck, but cleaning urine stains at 5am gets OLD.
Try Bio Kleen. I use it to clean poop off my infant's clothing.
get an enzyme spray so your dog doesn't feel the need to do it 100 more times. i use this one and highly recommend it.
If a heavy smoker lived there previous, you make need to repaint and remove any carpets.
Bad air sponge has good reviews for removing smoke smells that linger.
> Natures miracle then Paint over with kilz to trap odors
Should I just dump something like this in a bucket with a couple gallons of water and spread it around the floor?:
https://www.amazon.com/Natures-Miracle-Remover-24-Ounce-P-5553/dp/B001LUO1K8/
Or should I use a wet vac with something else?
For the Kilz, does this work?:
https://www.amazon.com/KILZ-Maximum-Blocking-Interior-1-gallon/dp/B007XH9PKO/
Isn't there a risk of this pealing up underneath in the future? We may use wider planks, which would require glue. Not sure how well that would bond with the paint being on top.
In addition to whatever scent you end up choosing, you might also want to use an air neutralizer like bad air sponge.
This is from personal experience, but I used a crate similar to this one with my pup and it made potty training much easier- especially if you're gone more than 8 hours at a time. If your dog rips up the pad like mine did, they make potty pad holders like these. A few accidents here and there during the first month are expected, but it helps to spray the urine spot with a deodorizing spray like this so they do not keep peeing on the same spot. Also, I've read that ammonia heavy products are terrible for cleaning up pee because it smells like urine to animals and encourages them to urinate on top of it. Hope that helps, happy training!
Did you get the mouse out? If so, I would suggest giving this a shot.
https://www.amazon.com/Dakota-OBNA-5-Bomb-Eliminator-Neutral/dp/B006T1RBGA
This stuff is the fucking BEST: Nature's Miracle Advanced Stain and Odor Eliminator, 32oz https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0723HRWJW/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_FtIXDbWNQ9MJN
I use L.O.E. Laundry Odor Eliminator. I first used it because my cat pissed on my snowboarding jacket. And it was too expensive for me to throw out.
Now my girlfriend uses it on her roller derby gear, and I use it on my gym stuff. Hasn't bothered any type of clothing I've used it on, and a single 1oz addition to your laundry should do the trick.
Edit, this link: http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B002WJ7816/ref=mp_s_a_1_8?qid=1454037619&sr=8-8&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_QL65&keywords=laundry+odor+eliminator&dpPl=1&dpID=417JZDmVvRL&ref=plSrch
Enzyme cleaner!

Look up the kind for your animal of choice, use it, happy times.
You could try this first, as it's less likely to have any negative effects on the fabric.
I used activated charcoal shoe deodorizers and they took the damp dog smell out of my backpack after sealing it all up in a bag with a few for a couple of weeks.
Loose charcoal is obviously risky because it could stain the dress, but something encased in plastic like this or this may help.
Whatever you do, take precautions to keep the charcoal from coming into direct contact with your dress though.
Do you have a link?
Here's the one I've got when I clicked to re-order ($41): https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00251GJ5W/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Then, they say there is a "newer model", but it is still $32. https://www.amazon.com/Natures-Miracle-Advanced-Stain-Eliminator/dp/B0711W5XC9/ref=dp_ob_title_pet
I'm not an expert on the product (not sure what makes the different formulas better/worse than others), but can't really find a gallon jug for $20....
That smell is mildew, which is another term for mold. There are different ways to kill it, but you do have to be cautious about damaging upholstry. If you are going to put anything on the fabric, test it in a hidden place first to make sure it doesn't discolor the fabric.
In all cases, if you apply a liquid solution, be sure to dry out the fabric really well afterwards. Good luck!
This stuff works and its safe. https://www.amazon.com/Biokleen-Bac-Out-Stain-Remover-Ounces/dp/B005P0UYDS
You can also use vinegar.
Also, as far as the care of your clothing goes, I'd really recommend getting away from store bought detergents and fabric softeners. They're full of chemicals and are harsh on your clothing and hard on your washing machine. I've fallen in love with using soap nuts, distilled white vinegar, and wool dryer balls to do all my laundry.
Soap nuts: http://www.amazon.com/NaturOli-Berries-Seedless-Cleaner-Processed/dp/B001DU4XPY/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1420238438&sr=8-1&keywords=soap+nuts
Wool dryer balls: http://www.amazon.com/Smart-Sheep-Eco-friendly-All-Natural-Softener--Great/dp/B00GA9P5P0/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1420238492&sr=8-1&keywords=wool+dryer+balls
And a great stain remover: http://www.amazon.com/Bi-O-Kleen-Bac-Out-Eliminator-Foaming-Action/dp/B005P0UYDS/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1420238539&sr=8-2&keywords=biokleen
Then, I just keep a big container of white vinegar around to use as a fabric softener. If you like you can also add whatever essential oils you like to either the vinegar or onto the dryer balls (or both). Orange oil is my favorite, and I like this bigger bottle: http://www.amazon.com/NOW-Foods-Orange-Sweet-ounce/dp/B0019LPL8A/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1420238679&sr=8-1&keywords=NOW+orange+oil
I've found this saves money, water, energy, the whole shebang. I also have really sensitive skin, so switching to this way of doing laundry has really benefitted me all around.
http://www.amazon.com/Biokleen-Bac-Out-Stain-Remover-Ounces/dp/B0009ET4XQ
Thanks. Great amazon ratings too. Think I'm going to try this.
Depending on how long until your guests arrive you may want to try and pick up a Bad Air Sponge (usually sold at hardware stores, Walmart, and I think maybe even Bed Bath & Beyond) or an Ozium Odor Eliminator canister. Now that you’ve found the culprit one of these should speed up the de-smelling process from that and any other odors.
Also, i use some stuff called "Natures Miracle" works really well and is specifically designed for cat pee.
I'd go 1:1. If you start with that and then let it sit in the sun like frenchst said that would be a good start. I've also read activated charcoal could help.
http://amzn.com/B001LUO1K8
Haha! Indeed a paradox.
Disclaimer: I in no way profit from recommending this product.
No household with pets should be with out this product or something like it. =]
I recommend the Dakota Odor Bomb
Not all of these may apply to you, so please don't take offense if something doesn't.
You might try a butt plug. Lovehoney has a 2 for $25 deal right now.
woolite pet stain cleaner spray.
they sell this at target and most grocery stores. There are different varieties, but the oxy is probably what you want. if you can't find anything but the pee specific one, no worries it's 90% the same ingredients.
i have got up fresh blood, old blood, tar, red coolaid, poop, piss, coffee, sugary soda, etc. If you want it really cleaned up down to the mat, you have to get on it right away, but for carpet spotting and the like just spray it on and leave it.
What i would do is saturate it with this stuff, use towels to sop up as much of that as i could, spray it down again (not soak it again) and then leave it alone for a few hours.
One of my friends turned me onto the product Bac-Out. You spray it on your clothes at least five minutes before you throw them in the wash, and enzymes in the spray break down bacteria that causes your clothes to start smelling. It's not practical for me to do laundry every day, so I spray it on, let my clothes hang to dry over night, and then wash them a couple days later.
My clothes were really smelly before, and this has really helped!

I have this stuff and it works great on not just my hardwood floors but also on plastic and linoleum. Just spray the area and wait 5 minutes before wiping up.
This is what you need to buy! It's called Anti-Icky Poo, you can get it on Amazon for $30. Use it anywhere you think it could be and see if it works... worth a try before you decide to start knocking down walls ;)
MisterMax Anti Icky Poo Odor remover (1) Pint https://www.amazon.com/dp/B008A6XXB4/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_iSdzDbN9E9S2Y
As a carpet cleaner we use this stuff for all odors. I have used it on stuff as strong as skunk a d cigarette stinch thatcwas layered in a smoker's car. Gone like it never happened. It has a enzyme a d bacteria that break down chemically what gi es off the smell. A d it is perfectly safe to get on your skin.
I do costumes for film and our stunt folks have incredible lingering bo in their stunt pads. Usually a 50/50 vinegar water spray works, others prefer vodka or rubbing alcohol, but vinegar is tried and true for me, but these stunties! So we use nature’s miracle on their stuff. Don’t forget your shoes. https://www.amazon.com/Natures-Miracle-Remover-Control-Lavender/dp/B072JGMVLF/ref=sr_1_17?keywords=Natures+miracle&qid=1566850971&s=gateway&sr=8-17
I also can’t recommend the bad air sponge enough. https://www.amazon.com/Bad-Air-Sponge-Absorbing-Neutralant/dp/B001SBMLAM/ref=sr_1_6?crid=JEF9F1X6FYJY&keywords=bad+air+sponge&qid=1566851099&s=gateway&sprefix=Bad+a%2Caps%2C232&sr=8-6 This is the sort of thing our family that does disaster recovery uses.
I’m about to escalate my war on stench against the cats with these new products: Rocco & Roxie Professional Strength Stain & Odor Eliminator - Enzyme-Powered Pet Odor & Stain Remover for Dog and Cats Urine and Angry Orange Pet Odor Eliminator for Dog and Cat Urine, Makes 1 Gallon of Solution for Carpet, Furniture and Floor Stains. I’ve found that febreeze just doesn’t cut it with intense bo, so we don’t use it on set. Sweat and urine have similar compositions and require enzymes to break them down. Fair warning some times it smells worse after you spray it because the moisture reactivates the bacteria, but it really cuts the stench as a laundry additive, but the bad air sponge helps and doesn’t require you to leave your home like an ozone machine does. Good luck!
Try an odor sponge in your room.
I wash every 4-5 days so, out of an abundance of (paranoid) caution, I spray my poop diapers with a diluted solution of Bac Out after spraying them off. I've been called out on this sub before for this being unnecessary but I've been doing that since Toddler was in diapers and it's been working for us.
Mr. Max Anti Icky Poo. It's a pet product. I don't have any pets, but I use this in my car. I have two kids who spill stuff, and have gotten sick in the car.
Works great. My MIL once thought I got the car detailed after I cleaned with this.
It works on old stains too. Sometimes I don't know about spills until well after they've happened.

I just got Fizzion a couple weeks ago and it works great
Haha! I feel this on a deep level. I have three cats, and one of them has urinary problems and has started revenge peeing if certain standards are not met. Then of course the youngest has to keep up with the Joneses and pees, too.
This stuff is AMAZING. I also recommend the Cat Odor Eliminator you can use in a spray bottle, for small tasks and carpet. This dynamic duo has salvaged my scrubs (veterinary technician), towels, purse, you name it, and they make the litter box better, too.
I know of a product that is sold at pet stores. It's called Nature's Miracle. It uses enzymes to break down pet waste. It should work for semen too.
https://www.amazon.com/Natures-Miracle-Stain-Remover-Spray/dp/B00HCIWJ7A/ref=sr_1_7?s=pet-supplies&ie=UTF8&qid=1491048351&sr=1-7&keywords=nature%27s+miracle
Anti Icky Poo works really well for blood, urine, etc.
They also make a specific kind if you don't have carpets/furniture.
Here's what you're looking for. It's not a "car specific" item.
Sure!
I buy practically everything on Amazon and these would be my top recommendations:
Hidey Hut - this is large enough to fit two grown gerbils and my first survived the chewing for close to 4 years.
Small Animal Pet Playpen/Exercise Pen - this is just tall enough for the jumpers. I've still had some be able to reach the top but it is a struggle and you'd be able to catch them in time. Really sturdy as well.
Kordon/Oasis (Novalek) SOA80304 Bell Bottle and Hold Guard Small Animal Value Set, 4-Ounce - this is by far my favorite recommendation of the bunch. I cannot tell you how many water bottles were just destroyed and I would come home to an empty bottle and a very wet gerbil. This thing is impenetrable!
Kaytee Hamster Silent Spinner, 6 1/2 inch Exercise Wheel - although I've had to buy a couple of these (they will chew the yellow part holding the bottom part to the wheel) I find that this is the sturdiest of them all. It becomes less silent the more they chew on it and push it around but it's never been loud enough to be considered especially annoying.
Great for cleaning cage and is safe
As far as dust baths go, I've tried several different kinds and find them all to be equivalent.
Would not recommend:
Ware Manufacturing Flying Saucer Exercise Wheel for Small Pet - the quality is fine here but if you are using carefresh, it gets buried and doesn't allow any give for it to spin.
Kaytee Woodland Get-A-Way Medium Hamster House - quality here is also fine and it's pretty thick so it would take a while to get them to chew. Since it is wood, it absorbs liquids. My gerbils would pee on it and it got to the point that it looked moldy and unhealthy so I just threw it out.
Alfie Pet by Petoga Couture - GARI Wood Hut for Small Animals like Dwarf Hamster and Mouse - Size: Large - this is the cutest little home I've ever seen. I had to eventually throw out though because the wood was so thin that the back wall collapsed due to their chewing and would no longer stand up.
Prevue Pet Products Multi-Color Small Pet Playpen 40090 - I think the quality is here too. It's just too short. My gerbils were easily able to escape this.
GreatChoice Water Bottle - chewed through in a week and Same
Dude, this is very easy. First, open all the windows, vent the car very well and you will be able to find where it pissed. Cat piss smells terrible, once the car is vented and you know the spot do two things. Clean it with a wet cloth, many... many times. Then, go to your local pet store and buy "Natures Miracle" Link below and soak the piss our of it... pun intended... :) I have 2 dogs, 2 cats, and 2 horses, this shit works. Once soaked, wipe it up, dry it off, and soak it again. Dry it off again and then spray a bit on it. Let her sit for a while. If you still catch a smell soak her again with natures miracle and clean it up again. This stuff does wonders on cat piss!

Woolite Pet Stain Remover. This stuff is awesome for any pet stains.
Also, they shouldn't tear it up too bad. There wouldn't be any signs of physical damage to the carpet.
>And the whole time I just keep thinking that I did this to myself.
Seriously man. My past self was a jerk.
One unasked for suggestion: something like the Bad Air Sponge for the things you can't wipe, launder, or toss. It actually absorbs the odor rather than just wafting perfume over it.
I've been asked "What smells amazing?" a handful of times already and it's always my vape. It's quite the mental adjustment.
