Do you have a problem with dog urine odor in your house? This article could save you a lot of money, and will tell you how to get rid of that odor without replacing your carpet, and without huge expense. In fact, the solution I found costs right around four bucks! What is it? Plain old borax! Please read on for complete instructions and helpful hints.

First things first, if you are bringing a new puppy home and it pees on your carpet, the best way to clean it up is to blot it first with paper toweling. You can even step on that toweling to draw as much moisture out of the carpet as possible. Next you want to spray that area with rubbing alcohol. NEVER use ammonia, or cleaners with ammonia in them. That is just like telling your dog it's okay to pee wherever you spray the ammonia. Urine has ammonia in it, which is why you never want to clean with ammonia products if you have a dog.

Okay now that we have that cleared up, we are going to move on to the next problem, and that is undetected pee! This is the bad stuff folks! This is the kind of pee that soaks deep into the carpet and just lurks there waiting to gross you out with a funky odor. If you have a puppy, or an older dog that has lost control, then you have a potential undetected pee situation. It happened to me, and it could happen to you, but don't despair, because I have found a very good remedy for this problem!

First you need to go to your local hardware store and get a black light. Darken the room, and turn on the black light, and you will see just what your dog has been up to. This is a lot easier than getting down on your hands and knees and sniffing the areas out.

The first time I used the black light I almost fainted! Never did I think my little five pound puppy was peeing that much, all over the place, and even after she was being taken outside on a regular basis! No wonder there was a bad pee odor in my house, and here I thought I was catching every naughty accident!

Once you find the pee areas you are now ready for action, but you need one more thing first, and that it a box of good old borax, the popular brand name being 20 Mule Borateem, or just Borateem for short. This stuff is an awesome pee odor eliminator. For instant relief you simply sprinkle the area with borax, let is sit for two days and vacuum. This will usually take care of the problem, but not always. If the carpet has been soiled over and over in the same area, then you will have to get your scrub bucket out, or better yet a carpet
