Removing Pet Urine From the Carpet
🐱🐶 Cat and dog urine can smell pretty nasty. Cleaning up your pet’s mess as soon as you realize you have one is really important. Here is a step-by-step guide to cleaning pet urine out of the carpet, including the smell!
- Using a clean cloth, pat the soiled area and remove any waste so that the area is free from any pet vomit or urine. 🧽
- Next, spray the area with a liberal amount of pet cleaner to the point of saturation. 🧴
- Let it stand for at least 30 minutes. ⏳
- Wipe clean. 🧼
- For especially stubborn areas, allow to stand for an hour. 🕒
To clean laundry, spray the dirty area and allow to soak for 30 minutes, then wash clothes as you normally do. 🧺 Some cleaners can be added directly to the water with the laundry detergent. 🚿
I recommend Rocco and Roxie’s Stain & Odor Remover, but there are several that work really well. 🧴 The tougher the smell, the longer I leave the remover on. ⏳ More details on these products are reviewed in greater detail below. 📜
🐱🐶 Smelly cat and dog odors are to be expected as a pet owner. It’s pretty hard to completely eliminate the everyday accidents that can occur, let alone the lingering smell that can accompany even the cleanest of cat litter boxes. 🧼 This article is all about how to use odor and pet stain removers for both cats and dogs. An absolute favorite of Kritter Kommunity is Rocco & Roxie’s Stain & Odor Eliminator. 🌟 This is not a paid sponsor post.
One of the main reasons I like this product so much is that it’s a 2-in-1 solution for both removing stains and odors. 🧴 The natural bio-enzymatic formula literally breaks down all kinds of accidents that contain unwanted organic matter, leaving the scene of the crime looking and smelling fresh. 🌿✨
How to Use Pet Stain Remover
Pre-testing to make sure the color stays in place on the surface you’re cleaning can be a good idea. ✅ This tip applies mostly to carpets, clothes, and furniture. 🛋️👕 If you’re spraying directly on a litter box, you should be good to go! 🐾🧼
On your Rocco & Roxie bottle, you’ll notice you can turn the nozzle. 🔄 For new or really stubborn stains, set the nozzle to streaming for a direct stream of liquid. 💦 The stream function also works well on hard-to-reach places like between a cushion and armrest. 🛋️
To eliminate odor completely, let the cleaner stay on the soiled area for 30 minutes. ⏳ For really hard-to-remove stains and odors, let it sit for 60 minutes. 🕒 Personally, I’ve never had to leave Rocco & Roxie on for that long to see results, and I’ve had some pretty bad-smelling areas to clean! 🌟
Laundry works the same way. 🧺 If you have a shirt or pants to clean, spray a liberal amount directly on the soiled article. 👕🩳 Wait at least 30 minutes, then wash as you normally would. 🧴⏳🧼

Once the area has had the pet stain remover on it, fighting away and doing its job, you can start to wipe up! 🧴✨ Using a cloth, and even a damp cloth on furniture in a blotting motion, works best. 🛋️ On countertops and litter boxes, you can simply wipe it up with a cloth or paper towel. 🧻 If the pet stain remover dried during the waiting period, you can use a DAMP (not totally soaking wet) cloth. 💧
A tip for cleaning up messes on carpets: saturate the dirty area with pet stain remover. 🧴 Then, place a cloth or towel on top of the area, and put a heavy object (like a brick) on top to really absorb the moisture out. 🧻🧱 This helps to ensure the cleaner penetrates deeply and effectively removes the stain and odor. 🌟
Active Ingredients
The active ingredients in this powerful pet stain and odor remover are not completely revealed by the manufacturer. 🧴 On the bottle, it says “advanced biological blend” and “opacifier.” Much like a few other products on the market, the odor-fighting ingredient most likely involves a natural bio-enzymatic formula. 🌿 This means that “good” bacteria are used to attack wastes, soils, and stains. 🦠✨
Price
You can currently get Rocco & Roxie on Amazon using Prime for $19.97 for a 32 fluid ounce bottle. 🛒📦
In addition to the spray bottle, they came out with litter box deodorizer. This is a product you sprinkle right in your litter box! Although the folks at Kritter Kommunity have not tried this product yet, it is on our list and it is getting awesome reviews!
The price for the deodorizer is $11.97, it is offered using Prime and it has a 4.4 rating.
Other Pet Stain and Odor Removing Products
I’ve used several pet odor and stain removing products, and Rocco & Roxie definitely takes the gold medal! 🥇🏆 There are several others that are strong contenders and definitely deserve a shoutout! 🎉🐾
Angry Orange Citrus Pet Odor Eliminator
Angry Orange is a strong second place for us. 🍊 This product smells amazing! 😍 We found it didn’t clean stains quite as well as Rocco & Roxie, so it fell to #2. This is definitely one to keep as a backup, though. I have a bottle under my bathroom sink and use it for weekly cleaning. 🧴🧼
Nature’s Miracle Advanced Stain Eliminator
Another very good product is Nature’s Miracle. 🌟 This product has been around for over 30 years, and for that reason alone, it deserves a tremendous amount of credit for putting these types of cleaners on the market.
When I say “these types,” I mean products specifically made to clean up pet vomit, feces, urine, and eliminate odors associated with dogs and cats. 🐶🐱 They did a fantastic job creating a suite of bacteria-based products. Bravo to them! 👏🎉
Final Thoughts
Kitty urine and dog pee do not have to intimidate you or burden your home. 🐱🐶 There are some really great products on the market these days that eliminate stains and odors very well. 🧴✨
Domesticated cats and dogs should not be urinating on carpets regularly, so if your pet is having frequent issues, it could be a sign of an underlying problem. Many times, it’s a behavioral issue due to stress, but a trip to the vet to rule out any medical problems is important. 🩺🏥
