Will My Carpet Get Ruined Even More If I Deep Clean It Once A Month?
We have had this carpet for only 5 months and it was brand new when it was put in we have had my puppy for the same amount of time we have had the carpet. It is hard to train my puppy because we live in the northern part of the states so the winters are really cold here and we got her during the winter and she is a small dog she is a toy fox terrier and she would freeze to death if we would take her out side. The winters here are in the negative numbers all winter long and a little bit in the spring. We also live in an upstairs apartment so that is also an inconvenience. So she would always pee and poop in the floor but when we first got her she did her business on the puppy pad. So now my carpet smells like pee i can smell it when i walk in the house. I always clean up her pee with first putting down baking soda over the pee and then when that dried i would use a shop vac and then i would use a stain and odor remover and scrub the area and then i would vacuum over that when it dries. So last month and yesterday i used a Bissell pro heat 2 and it still smells a little even after i rinsed the carpet on the water only dial. I did exactly how the instructions say on how to use it properly. Why does it still smell bad? How can i get the smell to come out? would it be ok if i used the bissel proheat once a month? I cant get new carpet because i live in an apartment on a military base and we have to ask them before we can do anything like that and they dont know we have a puppy yet so we could get in trouble for it because we are supposed to get her registered and microchipped but we have never done that yet. What else can i do to clean my carpet better there are no staines it looks clean it just smells bad? I dont have white carpet it is kind of a dark beige would it be ok to put a little bit of bleach in the water of my bissel and it wouldnt mess up the carpet when it is mixed with the cleaning solution or make bleach spots on my carpet?

Do not use bleach it will ruin the carpet. Most cleaning supply places have an odor removing liquid that you can put in the water of the carpet cleaner. Some are made to remove pet problems. Ask where you get the cleaning material for your carpet cleaner. You can clean the carpet as much as you need to. Just be sure to use the suction a lot to remove as much of the water as you can. It should dry in about 1 hour or less after cleaning, if it does not you are not sucking up the water enough. The problem is that the liquid gets in thecarpet back and pad. The odor remover will help.
Bissell makes a pet stain formula for their carpet cleaners, and it really does work. Give it at try
Never use bleach on a carpet, it destroys the fibers.
I don’t think you should put bleach at all in your cleaner. A professional cleaning service might do a more satisfactory job. Such a pity you got the pup and carpet at the same time! I guess it’s a fitted carpet, you can’t just roll it up and put it away till Pup is fully-trained? Every month cleaning might shorten the life of the carpet but since you are on a military base you might move again and it will be someone else’s problem.
Don’t use bleach. you never know what kinds of colors it can turn your carpet (not all fibers turn white with bleach) so I wouldn’t do that! Here is a good blog on a new product called urine off:http://blogs.findanyfloor.com/consumer/C…
try the product above: you can get it from this website:http://www.findanyfloor.com/OnlineFloorS…
This is a product made for pets and their accidents. It comes with a black light so you can make sure you get everything. Also, th smell may have gone into the carpet padding… no matter HOW MANY times you steam clean it wont get that deep… don’t waste your money because it wont work… im so sorry! I didn’t want to tell you that!
You may have to replace the carpet padding - that will def. get the smell out especially if it went all the way through. good luck!
