Solid Scrub
![]() |
You are working diligently on your puppy's housetraining, you have the dog crate, you are taking him outside at all the right intervals, but you will still have the inevitable pee, poo, or vomit stain you need to clean up. You must clean these stains up COMPLETELY or else the puppy will return and resoil the same spot again. A dog's nose is more than 10,000 times more sensitive than a human's, so if any residual smell remains of the original stain, they will smell it. This is especially true if they have soiled in their dog crate because that is one place you do NOT want them to go.
I'll share with you what works for me to clean up stains on carpet. My favorite stain/odor remover is Nature's Miracle (an enzymatic cleaner). I'm sure other people swear by other products. I'd buy Nature's Miracle in the 55 gallon drum if it came that way. And with all the dogs and cats we've had over the years (with carpet in each room including the bathroom and kitchen) we've given cleaning products a tough job to do.
To clean up urine stains on carpet when they are still wet: Get a clean towel folded in half and place it over the wet spot. Stand on the towel to absorb as much liquid as possible. Move a dry section of the towel over the wet spot and repeat, continuing until no more liquid comes up. Then pour Nature's Miracle directly on the wet spot and make sure there is enough on there to soak it as deep as the original urine went. Let sit for 10 - 15 minutes and using a 2nd clean towel, use the above towel method to pull as much liquid up as you can. Then let the carpet complete the drying process naturally.
To clean up urine stains on carpet that have dried: Same as when wet except skip the 1st blotting and let the Nature's Miracle soak for 30 minutes before blotting.
To clean up solid waste and dried vomit: First, remove as much of the solid material as you can and dispose of it. This may mean scraping the carpet a bit with a spoon or spatula. Then pour some Nature's Miracle on the carpet. You do not need to soak it as thoroughly as you did with the urine, unless the vomit contained a lot of liquid, but make sure the surface of the carpet is wet with the cleaning solution. Using a towel or small brush or sponge gently scrub the surface if there was solid material or discoloration on the surface of the carpet. Now use a clean towel and the blotting method discussed above to pull up as much liquid from the carpet as you can then let the carpet dry naturally. If some discoloration remains you may need to repeat this process a 2nd time.
If your puppy has soiled in their dog crate make sure to clean that thoroughly as well. Any remaining odor or stains on the dog crate will cause them to resoil their dog crate, which will defeat the purpose of crate training.
Make sure to wash any towels that you use for cleanup of these stains separately with lots of laundry soap and put some of the Nature's Miracle in the washing machine to remove all traces of the smells from your towels. I have separate towels I use just for dog accident cleanups and for muddy paws coming in from the yard.
