Nine Steps -
When your pet has an accident on the carpet

1	Always clean up pet messes as quickly and thoroughly as possible.
2	Identify the smelly areas of your carpet. If you're not sure where they are, darken the room and turn on a black-light bulb. This will highlight any dried accident spots.
3	Deep-clean the problem areas using a water-extraction carpet-cleaning machine or a carpet-shampoo machine and cool water only--no chemicals or cleaners. [If you do not have a water-extraction carpet-cleaner, you could consider renting one or call Rose at (973) 519-0740 and Kevin Steiner the Carpet Cleaning Guy will take care of your problem.]
4	Sprinkle an enzyme-containing pet-odor-neutralizing powder (available at pet stores or your vet's office) on the affected areas. Pet-odor-neutralizing powders contain live bacteria and enzymes that digest odor-causing protein and bacteria, permanently removing it from the deepest fibers in your carpet. These products also contain a mild cleanser that can help remove discoloration. Alternatively, you can use borax powder or baking soda but they are less effective in eliminating stubborn odors.
5	Let sit for 8 hours.
6	Vacuum the treated areas. Let sit for 24 hours.
7	If odor remains after you have treated the carpet with an enzyme odor neutralizer, repeat the treatment as needed to eliminate lingering odors.
8	Understand that in severe cases where the soiling has occurred for an extended period of time, you may need to replace the carpet padding.
9	If your pet continues to eliminate in inappropriate areas, treat the underlying cause. Does your pet have easy access to the outdoors or to a litter box? Is your cat demonstrating an aversion to her kitty litter? Is your furry friend suffering from separation anxiety, loneliness or stress? Plus, it's a good idea to have your vet check your pet for any physical problems.

Our cats and dogs are members of the family. Plus, our pets spend more time inside our homes than just about any other family member. Over time even the cleanest home may begin to smell a bit like a kennel.
