How to get urine out of white carpet???

Enzymatic pet cleaner. It's amazing for removing stains. I use it as a general laundry pre-treater.
 
Here's a little story about just this problem... Last summer I was housesitting a huge, 8 million dollar mansion in Long Island and I brought my puppy along for company. The owner told me to keep the pup in the kitchen at all times and definitely not let him upstairs which had just been carpeted with brand spanking new white Berber wall to wall. You can probably see where this is going... of course I snuck my puppy all over the house and let him follow me around - and I turned my back for TWO SECONDS and when I turned around again there were five, distinct, dark brown, mushy turds on the brand new white Berber carpet. I picked them up and there were five, dinstinct, dark brown stains left behind. I frantically searched the house and found some pet cleaner in the garage and soaked the carpet with it... the stains came right out like magic, with just a bit of blotting and a lot of cleaner.

It will depend on how old the stains are and if some of them were not just a few drops.

When we first had Duke, we did everything wrong! I didn't believe in Crate training and well, I really didn't know what the heck I was doing. ANYWAYS, Duke had many, many accidents on our floors. (and let me tell you, they were not little 'piddles'). We have tried every single thing possible to get those stains & smell out. I don't even care so much about the stains, but the smell is horrible!

NOTHING has worked. We have gotten the Pro's in and everyone has told us that some pet stains are jut impossible to get out.

I hope your carpets are not as bad as mine!

Good Luck!

What stain cleaner do you use jones?  The kind i use works 'most' of the time.  Unfortunately, there is a stain inbetween the couch and coffee table in my TV room that never came out, and another in my study near the desk.  There are carpets over both of them though[].

OxiClean...and never in a million years would I have white carpet with pets.
I think it would easy, and simpler, to remove the carpet hence forever removing the stain []

For the white berber incident I found a bottle of Nature's Miracle in the house. I was using that at my house for a while and it worked as stain remover on clothing... now using one called Wee Wee (great name! [:-]) "cat stain remover" and it works well also.

I'd also try an enzymatic cleaner such as Petastics (the old Nature's Miracle formula) because it will neutralize the odor as well (usually).  But, it doesn't seem to do a real good job on old stains and as Caprice said...some dog's urine odor will never go away.   I have off-white berber carpeting and I've not yet had a stain that ChemDry Spot Remover didn't take out.   It won't neutralize urine odors the way that enzymatic cleaners do, but trust me...this stuff does a great job on stains of all kinds, regardless of how old they are.  [color=#000000]It's the second item down on the following link. [linkhttp://www.chemdry.com/consumerprod.shtml]http://www.chemdry.com/consumerprod.shtml[/link][/color]

It even gets out old smells from urine!

Well if it's really white white carpet.  How about some good old bleach?

Eh, I went all out and bought a big Bissell carpet shampooer. It's paid for itself 100 times over by now lmfao...

I'm sure it wasn't funny at the time ... but Erin, you must have been ready to die when you saw the little messages Russell left on someone elses white carpet.[][]

 Sorry Erin - but when someone entrusts their HOME to you, it doesn't matter if it's an "8 million dollar mansion", a 3-bedroom ranch house or an efficiency apartment....it's still their home and you are obligated to do as they ask!   If you aren't able/willing to do as they ask...then you should just decline the job.   

Thanks everyone for their replies. My boyfriend and I recently bought a condo with off white carpet throughout the WHOLE place. Boo. We're in the process of getting some new carpet/flooring though. White carpet + pets = headache.
 
Aside from the enzymatic cleaner, I heard something about vinegar and warm water, or was it vinegar and baking soda? The spots don't smell at all, it's the fact that they're yellow that's so frustrating. GRRRRRR.

I borrowed my mother-in-laws carpet shampooer for the pet stains. My sister (who sold me the carpet) came to my house and saw what I was doing. She threw a huge fit and told me I was ruining my carpets stain protectors and the warranty, blah, blah.  If the stain protector really worked then none of us would need a shampooer right?

Wow, I wasn't expecting a scolding! [sm=lol.gif] I simplified my story somewhat by calling it housesitting, but this was actually an unoccupied house on the market that I was staying in while I did some contract work for somebody. And I had a four month old puppy in a new, scary, huge house. I tried leaving him in the kitchen and he screamed in terror. Would YOU leave your puppy alone in a new house for 12-15 hrs at a time? Or perhaps sleep on a kitchen tile floor? Well, I couldn't do it. Anyway later the owner stopped by and met my puppy - he loved him and coincidentally had just had his elderly spaniel PTS so he was happy to see my dog - and let him run all over the house, apparently forgetting his earlier directive. I'd do it all over again too, in my mind material goods are not on par with the happiness of my pet, sorry!
