Puppies can make some huge messes, but accidents happen!
Of course, the pros of raising a puppy definitely outweigh the cons. They're cute, bring you joy, and just truly light up your world every second your home with them. Unfortunately, you're not always home with them. Whether you've got a professional escape artist or a puppy who hasn't quite figured out the whole potty training thing, it doesn't always pay to have a puppy. Pet stains smell horrible, we all know this. Carpet cleaning can be expensive and fresh scents only temporarily mask the smell. To prevent further cat pee, dog pee, and feces odor, keep an enzyme cleaner in your pantry with the rest of your cleaning products.
Enzymatic cleaners are stain removers and odor eliminators. Sometimes disinfectant spray, warm water, and DIY soap can't tackle urine smells, so it's best to find a formula with non-toxic enzymes made to tackle pet urine. Many formulas are safe for upholstery, carpeting, and hardwood floors. For the best odor removers, see our list.
Pet Enzyme Cleaners
1. Super Strength Commercial Enzyme Cleaner
This enzyme cleaner works as a pre-wash stain treatment. If you want to save a stained rug, you'll love this formula.
Erin gave it five stars and wrote, "Y'all, just buy this stuff. I've been trying to get puppy stains out our rental's carpets for a LONG time. I even tried a bleach mix. These photos were taken a half hour apart. The directions recommend spraying the stain and letting it sit for 10 min before wiping with a cloth. When I came back after 10 min, I couldn't even tell where I needed to wipe because the stains were already gone!"
