Accidents happen, especially when you’re living with dogs. Whether you’re potty training a puppy or dealing with an aging dog, chances are you’ve had to clean up dog pee more than once. Unfortunately, these accidents often leave behind more than just a wet spot—they leave a lasting stain and an even longer-lasting smell.
But don’t worry. You don’t need to rely on harsh chemicals or expensive store-bought solutions. You can make a powerful, natural dog pee smell and stain remover at home using safe ingredients already in your kitchen.
This guide walks you through a step-by-step method to remove pet urine stains and odors from carpets, rugs, furniture, and more. It’s pet-safe, child-safe, and budget-friendly.
Why Dog Urine Smells So Strong
Dog urine contains ammonia and uric acid, both of which are strong-smelling and difficult to remove once they’ve soaked into fabric, carpet fibers, or porous flooring. If not cleaned properly, these compounds can break down and produce that lingering “dog pee” odor that just won’t go away.
The key to getting rid of it is to neutralize both the smell and the stain. That’s exactly what this DIY method does—without leaving behind harmful residues.
DIY Dog Pee Cleaner Recipe
What You’ll Need
Baking soda
White vinegar
Liquid dishwashing detergent (clear or mild preferred)
3% hydrogen peroxide
Clean cloths or paper towels
A spray bottle (optional but helpful)
These everyday items work together to lift stains, neutralize odor, and disinfect the area—all without risking harm to kids or pets.
Step-by-Step Cleaning Instructions
Step 1: Blot the Area Thoroughly
Before applying any cleaning solution, use clean paper towels or a cloth to blot up as much of the urine as possible. Press firmly to absorb as much liquid as you can. If the area is already dry but still smells, go ahead and re-moisten it slightly with warm water before blotting.
