Dog wee stains in carpet

Postby tracedw » Thu Mar 03, 2011 10:23 am

Ds1 has a lovely cream rug on his bedroom floor, well last night as all the boys and myself were playing in a bedroom the dog crept upstairs(she is not allowed upstairs) and wee'ed on his rug :x its bright yellow and wont come out.
I've tried the diluted white vinegar method and scrubbed with washing up liquid, it wont budge, its almost glow in the dark yellow :evil: any other ideas ladies because the rug is ruined.
Thanks Tracy

Try option 3 using vanish oxi action stuff - might want to patch test first though so it doesnt eat the rug

What sort of fabric is the rug? I would have another go or two at shifting the stain myself, then maybe see if the dry cleaners can have a go? Lastly, can it be dyed? A nice blue/green?

Its 100% wool, i have had another go with a vanish stick and some soda crystals and its fading a bit buts its still yellow, luckily its near the edge of the rug so i will just have to turn it 180 and have the stain by the window.

try biological washing powder. might be worth doing a spot test first. mix into a paste with some water and scrub, leave on for a few hours and then Hoover up. then rinse with wet cloth.
