It seems like the floor, walls, or sofa are soaked in the stench.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Dog urine contains a lot of nitrogen<\/strong>&nbsp;,&nbsp;the concentration of which depends on the dog&#8217;s age, sex, and diet. For example, female dogs tend to stain more, as do dogs that eat a high-protein diet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To&nbsp;<strong>neutralize the bad smell of dog urine,<\/strong>&nbsp;you can use an old trick: dilute a little tomato juice in your dog&#8217;s drinking water, as this drink neutralizes the nitrates in the urine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you can&#8217;t&nbsp;<strong>get rid of the bad smell of your dog&#8217;s urine<\/strong>&nbsp;, you may be making one of the following three mistakes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Don&#8217;t treat each stain differently<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A stain on a concrete floor shouldn&#8217;t be treated like one on a couch. If the pee is on a fabric surface, the first thing to do is place some paper towels on it to remove excess moisture. Then sprinkle a light layer of baking soda and let it sit overnight. The next day, vacuum the area to remove all residue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Use flavored detergents<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Covering up the smell won&#8217;t eliminate it. Before using detergent or other scented products, try to remove the urine. Apply a solution of equal parts vinegar and water to the stain. Rub and let it sit for 10-15 minutes. Finally, wipe with a clean cloth and then another dipped in detergent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Using the wrong disinfectant<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ammonia is often used to eliminate bad odors and stains, but this can paradoxically make the smell worse. It&#8217;s better to use water, detergent, and a few drops of bleach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To reduce the smell as much as possible, it is best to remove the stain as soon as possible, especially during the summer.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you have a dog at home, you know that sometimes even bleach or floor cleaner isn&#8217;t enough to&nbsp;eliminate the bad smell of dog urine&nbsp;.
