Instructions
Mop up as much of the dog urine as you possibly can with paper towels. If the urine is on carpet or furniture, be sure to press down to absorb the urine to keep it from seeping into the fibers and creating a permanent odor.
Spray a mixture of 1 teaspoon of dishwashing liquid and 1 cup of clean water onto the dog urine stain. This will help break up the concentrated ammonia in the urine and make the stain easier to disinfect.
Mix 1/2 cup of bleach with 1/2 gallon of clean water. If you are cleaning carpet, furniture or clothing, you can substitute color-safe bleach to keep from damaging the color.
Soak a cleaning rag in the water and bleach mixture. Put on rubber gloves before retrieving the rag from the bleach and water. Wring the rag of excess liquid.
Scrub the dog urine with the bleach and water mixture. Repeat this as often as it takes to penetrate deep down and clean away the odor.
Allow the cleaned area to air dry.
