How To Get Rid Of Dog Pee Smell In Carpet

If you have a pet, there is a reality that at some time or another you have had to clean up an accident in your home.  Sure, they don’t mean to (typically), but in addition to discouraging the behavior, you have to clean up the mess and deal with the residual aromas after it’s been cleaned.  

With so many cleaning products on the shelf, how in the world are we supposed to know which one is best?  Which products get the dog pee smell out of your carpet the fastest and most effectively? There are shampoos, brushes, carpet cleaners, and even vacuums that advertise an ability to get the smells/stains out of the carpet – but which ones ACTUALLY work?  

We’re going to take a quick look at the 5 best products on the market today to take care of that messy problem without messing up your wallet.

Angry Orange Pet Odor Eliminator

Always nice when a product name identifies the ingredients of the product.  Makes it easier to understand. Too bad restaurants don’t come with the same clarity.  Imagine: “Hi Burger Bell, I’d like a double heartburn with a side of indigestion and a large water retention to drink.”  But seriously, Angry Orange is a pet odor eliminator specially designed to be as safe and non-toxic to both you and your pets as can be.  Derived from the oils found in orange peels, this cleaner was developed to be a highly concentrated cleaner and odor eliminator for pet kennels and farms.

In addition to being a great carpet cleaner/odor eliminator, Angry Orange also has other uses as well.  Because it is so concentrated and the citrus smell cuts through just about any odor, it can also be used in smaller amounts to freshen up litter boxes, cut down on the aroma that can come from a backyard where the dog goes out, or take the smell out of your kennel areas.
