6 Steps to a Clean Carpet

1. Make sure your dog is out of the way

If you want to easily get the job done, we recommend putting your pup in a place they can’t get in the way. Imagine if they accidentally walked through the poo and tracked it around - Yikes!

2. Grab items to pick up & dispose of the dog poop

The first step is to remove the poo from the carpet or floor. If you would like, grab a pair of gloves before starting. With either a paper towel, reusable towel, or dog poop bag, scoop up the poop and discard it.

3. Pick your cleaning solution

We recommend a cleaner that has bleach or vinegar in the solution to remove and kill bacteria from the spot. Here is a list of products that are great for this:

4. Blot the spot & repeat

Once the cleaning solution has had a moment to sit and absorb, take a towel and blot the area. Avoid rubbing as it can spread the poop if it doesn’t all come up the first time. After blotting the cleaning solution, repeat again for effective results.

5. Rinse the area with water

When you are finished with the cleaning solution, we recommend spraying water over the area and blotting it with a towel. This helps eliminate the chemical residue on the surface. Repeat as many times as desired.

6. Deodorize the area

Once the floor or carpet is clean, you can deodorize the area to make sure no smells are left hanging around. This can typically be done with baking soda, which has moisture-absorbing starch that helps rid the area of poop remnants instead of just masking it.

Final Thoughts

If you have a pup or two running around the home, accidents will happen here and there. It’s not the most pleasant thing to do, but those #2’s should be cleaned up as soon as possible to avoid a bigger mess and the stenches filling up the home.

We hope these tips make the cleaning process a bit smoother so you and your pup can get back to playing!
