OT: Stain from dog on carpet

[uconnphil2016]

Hi all,

So my mom got brand new carpet upstairs about 6 months ago, and our older dog got sick all over it. Tried using laundry detergent with borax and warm water but still a big stain. She pooped this AM and we just got home and found it. Any tips?

Tear up the carpet and go with hardwood floors.

Have had pretty good luck with the Resolve for Pets. Hydrogen peroxide works well on blood stains and might do the trick for this as well.

I believe @Fishy is the resident expert on removing dog residue from a house. I believe Step 1 is buying one of these:

Step 2 is sell your home.

Baking soda --> let sit --> vacuum

@Stainmaster can give some advice.

The Resolve pet stain product is decent.

If you are doing the baking soda and vinegar thing make sure you follow the steps exactly and give it a couple days before vacuuming. Google for the instructions.

Just for clarification, it's poop--not pee or vomit

If I'm understanding correctly, soak it with vinegar, then cover in baking soda, then let sit for a couple of days?

Yes. It's been a while since we've had to do it, but that sounds right. This is what I found:

“My best tip is for pet potty spots on the carpet. I use good old vinegar and baking soda. The steps are the important part. Pour enough vinegar to soak the stain and THEN add a small amount of baking soda. If you do the reverse, you will have a noisy, bubbly mess. Do it the right way, and you can hear the recipe cackling away, telling you how it is cleaning and deodorizing without leaving any residue. You need to let the spot dry for a day or two before sweeping up and then vacuuming. We cover the spot with a bowl or plate so that we don’t have baking soda kicked from heck to breakfast. You can actually see the yellow color being absorbed up into your little mountain of baking soda. Works on old stains too! Boo yaaaaaah!”

Yup...this is what I read too. Great, thanks. I think we're going to try resolve first, and then do the vinegar/baking soda. I feel terrible, as my mom is remodeling this house for the purpose of selling it and put good money into the carpets. She's pretty sad about it, so hoping this works.

I just thank God it wasn't my puppy that did the deed, because that would have led to my crucifixion

shouldnt your mom or wife be asking this question on some messageboard?

good god man. Crack a beer and relax. Its not your job.

Stop putting detergents on it. the residue left behind is tacky and can cause the area to soil faster by collecting dirt.

If you want to do it yourself and you have a synthetic carpet not wool. First flush out all the stuff you put on it really good with cold water and a shop vac. Extract until almost dry.fan dry. Pour 3% hydrogen peroxide on it and leave it over night. Repeat again if needed. 3% hydrogen peroxide won't bleach the carpet. It only bleaches out organic stains such as blood,urine and dog crap.

Wait for Fishy's suggestion should be the answer you're looking for.

August, this is why guys like me and @Chief00 and Andre roll in the B*****. We know how to treat women--sometimes that requires getting our hands dirty

No way in hell Chief picks up dog crap. He the frickin Chief. Alpha extraordinaire.

I believe in the final negotiation Fishy ended up having to buy his wife a whole new house. So I hope Phil's wallet is fat.

We can only wait for an answer from the man himself. Where you at @Chief00

I made about $8,000 this year so yes

 

[sledog]

What kind of dog? You talking a serious load, or something diminimus?

Whaler pays more than that to have the columns in his bedroom cleaned every month.

 

[Fishy]

First, throw out the couch.

Second, make a mixture of Woolite, vinegar and baking soda - like a tablespoon of both and a cup of warm water.

Spray a lot on the stain and then try to blot it up with sponges.

It won’t be perfect. Your mom will still be sorta mad.

Nah he dropped the dog of in the Bronx and said he got loose and ran away.
