My hall sticks of dog pee and poo, help!

[soakingfromtheschoolrun]

Recently rehomed a dog, who has on a few occasions has pooed and pee'd in the hall. Its laminate wood and a hall runner, and have washed floors, and used carpet cleaner on rug but just cant shift the smell....it's horrible!

Please can you help me, I need to get the smell out, its making me ill!

Could you try something like this?

petsathome do their own version of the spray in dexters link.

It might be worth investing in a steam mop. You can't use it on carpet, but it would be fine on the laminate.

Tried a steam mop, it cleans it, but no more than a usual cheap mob and some floor cleaner tbh.
Might go to pets at home and invest in something, but I just cant be bothered driving the 20 odd minutes and can't live with the smell!!
darn

places that rent out the Rug Doctor machines also sell sprays that deal with urine/faeces, etc - it contains enzymes to break down the odour molecules. You could also try making up a solution of biologocal washing powder as the enzymes in that could help too. Neutradol powder has an odour neutraliser - sprinkle on, leave for a while and hoover it up.

Thanks for that Seona, will give those a try once I've been to the shops. I'm usually a non-bio type of girl!

Have given rug a once over with carpet cleaner, and given the floor a good mop, and the smell seems to be a bit better atm.

He has eaten the rug a little and it was only around £30 from b&q 3 years ago, so might invest in a machine washable one, I'm sure I have seen them -or possibly made it up !

Get rid of rug. Washable will be tons better.

We adopted a dear dog once. Early next morning he did a diarrhea puddle right on my Oriental rug. Lots of wood floor all around. We loved him though, he is the Hansie in my name.

Mop floor with very diluted bleach and rent RugDoctor and do rug several times not just once with the machine (maybe spread out over two days so can dry a little in between), if weather is nice then put rug outside for a day.
