How to deal with dog pee on a carpet

From the Household-Hack department, today we will discuss how to best deal with dog pee on a carpet.  For those with dogs, you know what a drag it is when your dog pee's on the carpet.  My family has two dogs that do this from time to time.  I swear those dogs are lucky that they are still alive.  If you are like me or my wife, you want to strangle your dog when you discover that he/she has pee'd in the house.  Then again, we pet owners tend to forgive and forget pretty quickly; thus two dogs continue to roam my house (and occasionally pee in the house).

With that, we've discovered another great use for Hydrogen Peroxide.  Yes, the same miracle medicine I prescribe for the common cold.  Used correctly, Hydrogen Peroxide can be used to rid your carpet of doggie-accident stains!

Here is how;

Step 1: Lightly soak up the pee with a (or several) paper towel(s).

Step 2: Liberally pour some Hydrogen Peroxide on the pee stain (HP is only $1 for a 32 oz. bottle; don't be shy with it!).  Let it settle for a few minutes.

Step 3: Dab up the mess with a few more paper towels.

The mess is gone and with a little luck, no stains in the carpet.  This trick has worked better than any over-the-counter solution for my wife and I.

Got a better trick for dealing with dog pee?  Leave a comment and share it!
