might be worth printing

I'm being told this works GREAT!! Oh it's a recipe for getting urine/vomit odors out of carpets. I'm told it can leave a carpet feeling stiff so steam cleaning after might be necessary.
The person who shared this also fosters for Siamese Rescue and she paid for this recipe via an online source...she said it realy works and some of her stains/odors were old. Worth a try if needed.
ODOR REMOVER

16 oz. (2 cups) hydrogen peroxide
2 tsp. baking soda
2 small drops liquid dishwashing soap (Dawn, Palmolive, etc.)

Place all ingredients in a glass jar or bowl. Gently stir--do not beat or shake--until baking soda is dissolved.

If urine is fresh, be sure to blot up any excess urine with dry paper towels or a dry washcloth before the next step.

Pour mixture over urine spot, making sure to cover the entire spot. Allow mixture to completely soak the area being treated. Do not rub or scrub! Let sit for 24 hours without disturbing.

After 24 hours, take clean paper towels or a clean, white washcloth and blot up any remaining liquid (Again, do not rub or scrub.).

Allow area to air dry completely. If you are treating carpet, you can vacuum over the area when dry.

Makes 16 oz. (2 cups) of solution.

GENERAL TIPS
The strength of hydrogen peroxide required for the recipe is the 3% solution. This strength is what is commonly found at pharmacies, discount stores and grocery stores.
The solution is most effective within one hour of mixing, but you can keep a batch of solution in a spray bottle to have on hand for fresh accidents--it will work just fine.
Do not enclose the mixture in an airtight container (a spray bottle is fine, though), or you could have a big mess on your hands! The reason for this is because when the ingredients are combined they release oxygen. Remember making "volcanoes" out of baking soda and vinegar when you were a little kid? Similar principle here.
Carpet, furniture and mattresses typically require 1-2 treatments. Concrete, wood, tile and other hard surfaces usually need 3-5 treatments (1 treatment per day).
If you purchased the recipe to treat an oriental rug, please use extreme caution. Sometimes the dyes used in the rugs are not colorfast. We are not responsible for damage to rugs.
We do not recommend using the recipe on hardwood floors because we can't recommend saturating the wood. When a pet has urinated on hardwood, the urine has seeped deep into the floors. To neutralize the urine, you would need to apply the recipe so that it would seep deep into the floors as well. Due to the possibility of warping, we just can't safely recommend this.

If you have a situation where it's either you're going to treat the hardwood floors or you're going to rip them out, then by all means, give our recipe a try. But be aware that saturating hardwood floors with any liquid may cause warping, and Stinkypets.com is not responsible for damage from warping.

ALTERNATE METHODS OF APPLICATION
Spray bottle--A spray bottle works best for applying the solution to small areas of concrete, linoleum, or other hard surfaces. It is also the best way to apply the solution to vertical surfaces like walls, shower tile and furniture. Just be sure to thoroughly spray the area you are treating. A spray bottle is generally not the best way to treat carpet.
Mop--A mop is a good way to apply the solution to large areas of concrete, linoleum, or other hard surfaces. Generously apply the solution to the surface and let it soak. Do not mop or wipe up.
Garden watering can--A garden watering can is best for medium to large areas--indoors or outdoors.
Carpet cleaning machine--Just mix several batches of the recipe at a time and use it in place of the water and carpet shampoo. Don't vacuum the solution back up--just let it soak on the carpet until it air dries. While we have had many, many customers use this method without a single report of damage to a machine, our recipe is obviously not one of the solutions approved for use by the machine manufacturers. Using the recipe in your machine is at your own risk, and we are not responsible for any damage to customers' machines.
Chemical Sprayer--We've had a few customers use a chemical sprayer (the pump kind, not the kind you attach to a water hose) to apply the recipe to large areas. You would need to use a new sprayer (not one that has previously been used) so that there wouldn't be any type of reaction with the residue in the sprayer.
CONCRETE AND OTHER HARD SURFACES

For concrete and other hard surfaces, you want to make enough of the recipe to completely cover the stain. Pour, spray or mop on the solution on and let it soak. Do not mop or wipe up. Let it sit for 24 hours (depending on the humidity level, it will usually evaporate during this time). Repeat the treatment once a day for 3-5 days.

Something to keep in mind is that allowing the concrete to dry out after several treatments is often part of the odor removal process. If you've made multiple treatments and are still having odor, the best thing to do is stop treating. Let the area dry out for 5-7 days. You can even run a dehumidifier or put a fan on the area to help. We understand that it can be frustrating to wait 5-7 days, but letting the concrete dry out is often the difference in whether the odor is removed or not.

MATTRESSES

For mattresses, the best thing to do is to make a double, triple or even quadruple batch of the recipe--enough to completely cover the stain--and then really pour it on. Don't be afraid of saturating the mattress. The urine has gone deep into the mattress, so you need to make sure that there's enough solution to go deep into the mattress as well. The solution has to reach the urine to neutralize it. We recommend treating the mattress in the morning so that the solution can work through the day. The mattress will often be dry enough for use by bedtime.

SOFAS AND COUCHES

For couch cushions, please follow the directions for treating mattresses.

CLOTHING AND BEDDING

For clothing and bedding, you can either spot treat or use the recipe in a washing machine. Depending on the size load you are washing, you will need to make a double, triple or even quadruple batch of the recipe and pour it in with the washing machine water. Allow the clothing/bedding to soak in the washing machine overnight. Leave out the detergent until you are satisfied that the odor is gone. Then, you can wash with detergent like normal. If any of the clothes/bedding is brightly colored, be sure to do a spot check on them first before treating them. The recipe is not safe for leather.

 

I think your post will come in very handy here. We have had so many posts about how to get the smell out! Thanks Mary_NH. :y_the_best: If anyone tries it out let us know how it works.
