Now that you have all your tools and materials ready, let's get rid of that awful smell...
Step 1: Blot up as much urine as possible
The first step in getting rid of the smell of urine in your carpet is to remove as much of the urine as possible. This is important because the longer the urine stays on the carpet, the harder it will be to remove the odor.
By blotting up as much of the urine as possible with clean towels or paper towels, you can remove a significant amount of the urine before it has a chance to soak into the carpet fibers.
To do this, press the towels or paper towels onto the affected area and apply pressure to soak up as much of the urine as possible. Make sure to rotate the towel or paper towel so that a clean area is always in contact with the carpet, as this will prevent spreading the urine around. Repeat this process until the towel or paper towel comes away relatively clean.
Use clean and white towels or paper towels, to prevent color transfer or chemical reactions to the carpet.
Make sure you don’t rub the area, as this will push the urine deeper into the carpet fibers and make it harder to remove. Instead, press down firmly to soak up as much of the urine as possible.
Step 2: Mix a solution of white vinegar and water
After blotting up as much of the urine as possible, the next step is to neutralize the odor. One effective way to do this is by using a solution of white vinegar and water. White vinegar is a natural deodorizer and disinfectant that can neutralize the smell of urine and help to break down the urine crystals that can cause stains and odors.
To make the solution, mix one-part white vinegar and one part water. For example, if you use 1 cup of white vinegar, use 1 cup of water. You can adjust the amount of solution depending on the size of the affected area.
Step 3: Apply the solution on the affected area
The next step is to apply it on the affected area of the carpet. Allow it to sit for about 15 minutes. This will give the vinegar time to work on neutralizing the urine smell and breaking down the urine crystals. The longer you let the solution sit, the more effective it will be.
You can apply the solution using a clean cloth or a spray bottle. If using a cloth, make sure it is wrung out, so the cloth is not too wet, and gently blot the solution onto the affected area. If using a spray bottle, make sure to saturate the area completely, but be careful not to over-saturate and make the carpet too wet.
Be sure to test a small inconspicuous area of the carpet first to ensure that the solution does not cause any discoloration or damage.
Furthermore, don’t use a steam cleaner or any heat-based cleaning method on the carpet after applying the vinegar solution, as heat will set the urine and make it harder to remove.
Step 4: Blot up the solution
After applying the solution of white vinegar and water to the affected area of the carpet and letting it sit for several minutes, the next step is to blot up the solution with clean towels or paper towels. You need to blot the solution after letting it sit for a while because although the vinegar neutralizes the urine odor, it can also bleach the carpet if left for too long
To blot up the solution, follow the same instructions provided in step 1.
Step 5: Sprinkle baking soda on the affected area
After blotting up the solution of white vinegar and water with clean towels or paper towels, the next step is to sprinkle baking soda on the affected area of the carpet. Baking soda is a natural odor absorber, and it helps to neutralize the urine smell and remove any remaining urine crystals.
To do this, take a generous amount of baking soda and sprinkle it evenly over the affected area. Make sure that the entire area is covered, and let it sit for 15-20 minutes. The baking soda will work to absorb any remaining urine smell and neutralize it.
Step 6: Vacuum up the baking soda.
After sprinkling baking soda on the affected area of the carpet and letting it sit for 15-20 minutes, the next step is to vacuum up the baking soda. - Навчання та стиль

This is NOT how urine is removed. I am a professional carpet cleaner with over twenty years experience.
First urine is liquid and sinks into the underlay.
Scrubbing will not remove it. Using bicarbonate of soda and other internet guidance will not remove the smell.
Remember animal's sense of smell is so sensitive. They will return to the same area to repeat the urination.
The only way to truly remove urine and its components is for the area to be flushed under pressure. We use dedicated solutions that destroy the pee to aid our success.
At times we need to replace the underlay too. It gets more complicated if the subfloor is wood as there is a chance the urine may have hit this also, so this has to be treated.
UV torches are great for locating the area more accurately.
My advice is to seek out a professional. Trying to sort this problem may cause you more problems.
Hope this benefits you
Hello thank you for your video
does this work on 🤢 Vomit🤔
Don't settle for less. We have a video that shows you how to get rid of vomit smell on your carpet...

Does this work even if the urine has soaked into the pad
No, NOT really.
In the final steps, the video notes:
"If the smell persists even after repeating the process several times, it may indicate that the urine has reached the padding under the carpet. In such a case, it may be necessary to remove and replace the affected section of the padding to completely remove the smell."
If the padding is severely affected, it might be best to replace the affected area. Padding is generally not as expensive as carpeting, and replacing it might be the most effective way to eliminate the odor.
I hope this helps.
