Now what? Luckily, you probably have the cleaning tools for the job right at hand. Place a thick layer of paper towels over the wet spot, and, if possible, under it, as well. Cover that with a thick layer of newspaper. You can stand on the paper for a few minutes to help it absorb the urine more quickly, or just leave the paper until most of the urine is soaked up.
Then remove all the paper and rinse the area with cool water. Blot up all the water, either with towels or a wet vac. Once you have most of the liquid blotted up, the next step is to remove the odor.
And for this, a common household item is your best weapon: baking soda. Let the baking soda sit overnight, and then vacuum thoroughly. You may have to go over the area several times to vacuum up all the powder, until the area feels clean to the touch. Another method adds one more household staple, vinegar. In a clean spray bottle, mix one cup of distilled white vinegar with one cup of water and 2 teaspoons of baking soda. If you still see stains along with a lingering dog urine smell, consult with a professional dry cleaning company.
For heavily soiled areas in the house, consider getting a high-quality mini wet vac. Look for the companies that include an enzymatic cleaner in their base. This will help tackle the dog urine smell and stains. Troubles with potty training or chronic leaking may be a sign of a medical or behavioral concern. Frequent urination, urinary tract infections , submissive urination, and urinary incontinence are just a few of the issues that could be affecting your dog.
When dealing with a chronic issue, consult with your veterinarian for a potential diagnosis and treatment plan. Home Dog Care Center.
Fescue and perennial ryegrass are the most urine tolerant, while bluegrass and bermudagrass seem to be the most sensitive. There are also several species of taller grasses used in meadow cultivation that are salt tolerant and fairly urine resistant including: Zoysia, Paspalum, and Distichlis.
A tall meadow is a natural alternative to a traditional lawn. Another plus: They require less water and, being nitrogen-fixing themselves, require less if any fertilization.
Speaking of fertilization, if you fertilize your lawn, be sure to use a reduced nitrogen fertilizer. Another intervention, if you don't want to fight this battle, is the construction of a small graveled, mulched, or artificial turf area in the back or side of your yard.
You can train your dog to "go to the back," and with positive reinforcement and praise, they will eventually and automatically head to that area to do their business. You can make this site visually appealing by placing potted hostas, ferns, or other greenery around the perimeter. We promise not to send you garbage that turns your inbox into a litter box. When urea enters the soil, immediately certain beneficial microbes begin to metabolize it transforming it from urea CO NH 2 2 into nitrites NO 2.
Unlike urea, nitrites are not immediately available for grass to consume. When the nitrogen is converted from it ammoniacal form it also eliminates the odor of ammonia. It takes a lot of these beneficial soil microbes to convert the vast amount of urea from the dog urine into nitrites. Generally the environment of the soil that supports your lawn does not support a population of microbes large enough to process so much urea. This is true especially because the lawn is assaulted by urine multiple times a day.
It takes time for the population of soil microbes to grow in population. Eventually they can get to the point that they can prevent urine spots from forming in your lawn. PetiGreen works to improve the environment of the soil. As it improves a larger population of beneficial soil microbes can thrive.
Over time the population can grow large enough to metabolize the vast amount of urea before it can damage the grass.
True organic activity continues metabolizing the nitrites NO 2 into ionized nitrates NO 3. These nitrates are then bound to soil particles and carbon particles in the soil by a static charge. It is stored in the soil this way where the grass roots have access to them.
But now the roots cannot just consume the nitrates. They have to release carbonic acid which acts as an anti-static spray to release the nitrates from the soil. The grass plant only produces enough carbonic acid for normal consumption of nitrogen thereby regulating its own diet. PetiGreen consists of a combination of a proprietary blend of organic acids, beneficial soil microbes and a little nitrogen and sulfur to keep the microbes dormant until it is applied.
