When I deal with pet stains, I usually try DIY solutions first, like baking soda and vinegar, but honestly, they’re not very effective for deep stains or odors. I’ve found it’s much better to hire professionals—they have the right tools and products to truly clean and sanitize the area. It’s worth it for peace of mind!

The problem is when it happens multiple times - it's just not sustainable to be able to hire a professional every time it happens.

It's not like it happens all that often, but it does unfortunately happen.

I usually act fast when dealing with pet stains. First, I blot the area with a clean cloth to absorb as much as possible, then I use a mixture of water and vinegar or a pet-specific stain remover. I let it sit for a few minutes before gently scrubbing the spot and then blot it again to lift the stain. If it's stubborn, I repeat the process. A good vacuum afterward always helps too!

This works fine if you can actually identify where the stain is in the room. Obviously if it's still wet you can feel around (yuk) but often times you don't really smell it until well afterwards.

Sometimes it's just a single stream of pee that leaves a very small physical footprint on the surface, which makes it even harder to detect.

And the idea of using a blacklight to identify it is complete nonsense. Completely unreliable, as it also marks detergent that may have been left behind from a previous cleaning, and on a rug, the pee may be below the surface.
