How Do You Get Rid Of Pet Smells Before Putting In New Carpet?
Pets often leave odors, both from bodily functions and their natural scents. Remove the smell before putting down new carpet, or risk locking in the odor under the new carpet. Vinegar and baking soda remove pet odors from flooring, are safe to use around animals and give off no harmful fumes. Both are available in grocery stores, each for under a dollar. The smell of the vinegar disappears after drying. Sprinkle baking soda over the stained area. Allow it to sit for at least four hours. Pour a small amount of water on any stains. Scrub the wet baking soda into the area. Vacuum up the baking soda. Pour white vinegar into a spray bottle. Spray the entire area. Let the area dry before laying down the new carpet.
