It is easiest to remove a dog urine stain immediately after it has been placed, but sometimes trouble happens while you are away. Fortunately, it is possible to remove old, dried-out stains with home remedies such as dish soap and baking soda. If they do not help, you can try to remove it with special means or seek professional help.

Steps

Method 1 of 3: Applying dish soap

1. 1 Mix ½ teaspoon (2.5 ml) dish soap with 1 cup (240 ml) warm water. Stir the resulting solution thoroughly until a lather appears.
2. 2 Pour this mixture directly onto the stain. Make sure the stain is completely covered with the solution. It is necessary that the stain is well saturated with the product.
3. 3 Blot the stain with a paper towel. Try to allow the paper towel to absorb as much of the soap mixture as possible. If you are unable to remove excess liquid, you can vacuum the stain.
4. 4 Repeat steps with solution and blotting stain until the stain is gone. Finally, be sure to rinse the area to be treated with clean water so that no soap is left in it. Dry the stain with a paper towel when finished.

Method 2 of 3: Using vinegar, baking soda, and hydrogen peroxide

1. 1 Mix 1 part vinegar with 1 part water. You need to get enough mixture to saturate the stained area generously.
2. 2 Cover the stain with a rag soaked in vinegar solution. Press down firmly on the rag to soak the solution deeply into the stain. Do not rub the stain with a rag.
3. 3 Pour some of the solution directly onto the stain. The stain should be completely covered with the solution. Try not to spill too much of the solution on the clean areas of the carpet.
4. 4 Use a carpet brush to rub the solution into the stain. Press the brush firmly against the carpet and work back and forth to scrub the surface of the stain. If you don't have the right brush, you can use a toothbrush.
5. 5 Blot the stain with a paper towel to remove excess moisture from the carpet. You may need several paper towels.
6. 6 Sprinkle baking soda over the stain. Regular baking soda will do. Apply a thin layer of baking soda all over the stain.
7. 7 Mix ½ cup (120 ml) hydrogen peroxide with 1 teaspoon (5 ml) dish soap. Take 3% peroxide. Stir the mixture thoroughly.
8. 8 Pour some of the peroxide solution onto the stain and rub the solution into the stain. Rub back and forth. While doing this, press down hard on the brush so that the baking soda and solution soak the stain deeply.
9. 9 Dry the area to be treated with a paper towel. Try to dry the stain as thoroughly as possible to keep as little liquid as possible in the carpet. You can also use a vacuum cleaner to remove any remaining moisture.
