Tricks to remove dog urine from mattresses, armchairs and carpets
Trick # 1
If your dog urinated on the carpet. Mix in a container two tablespoons of liquid soap with 4 to 5 tablespoons of hydrogen peroxide. Using a sponge, apply the solution in a circular motion (do not scrub too hard). Leave to act for 15 minutes and then remove with a damp cloth.
Trick # 2
Ideal for bed. Let's do it! If the stain is fresh, place kitchen paper on it and let it absorb as much urine as possible. Stir in 3 tablespoons of baking soda, 1 tablespoon of table salt, 5 drops of tea tree essential oil.
Procedure
Moisten the area with the mixture and rub. Let rest for a few minutes and remove with a dry cloth.
Trick # 3
In the case of an armchair (and that you can use in the other two), wash with soap and water. Let dry, and then place or sprinkle sodium borate. The commercial name with which you can get it in the store is borax.
The correct way to use it is to place a fist on the affected area and rub with a cloth.
Before you get mad at your dog for doing it on the couch, bed, or rug, ask yourself what caused it. Remember they don't talk.
