I steam clean my carpets myself. As a pup, Misty had made alot of spots on the carpet on the second floor of the house. To take care of the problem, I steam cleaned them (my cleaner makes the water get really hot) using the regular Bissell solution and made extra sure to suction the rugs until they were nearly dry. Then, I did a heavy spraying all over the carpeting with "No Go," a product that discourages remarking. It worked for us here. I'm assuming it was the cleaning, not just a sudden revelation on Misty's part. I don't see any reason, though, why you couldn't add like 1/4 cup of white vinegar to the water, as that also helps remove the odors. Be careful, though, and test a small area, as vinegar can affect the dyes in clothes, I assume it can also affect the dye in carpets.
