Cleaning Pet Accidents

Treat pet accidents quickly to prevent permanent staining and lingering odours.

Blot up as much liquid as possible with paper towels or an old cloth.
Apply an enzymatic pet cleaner that breaks down organic matter, make sure not to skip this step.
Let it sit for the time on the bottle, then blot dry.
For odour, sprinkle baking soda, leave overnight, and vacuum thoroughly.

Avoid ammonia-based cleaners as they smell similar to urine and can encourage repeat accidents.
