House stinks of wee!

I have 2 dogs, one is 6 months old and we got her a month ago from a neighbour who basically did nothing but lock her in a crate for the entire time she was there. Therefore she wasn't toilet trained in the slightest.
I acquired her because he was going to drown her as his gf no longer wanted her 🙄.
Anyway, toilet training. Yeah, that's not going great. She will still wee in the house, even if she's just come in from outside. I am working on it but it's definitely a work in progress!
In the meantime, are there any natural (ie nothing I have to spend an arm and a leg on) to get the smell of wee out of my house?

I've been washing the floors 4+ times a day fully and spot cleaning when she does something but it really doesn't seem to be making much difference.

Neutradol gel air fresheners work wonders. They aren't sickly sweet smelling and we've got one in every room! They are sold in Home Bargains for 79p which is why we have so many.

And use biological washing powder hot on the places she wees - the enzymes breakdown the urine.

Thank you. I have cleaned the floor by hand with bio powder and hot water and it does smell a lot better.
I'll pick up some of the neutradol air fresheners when I next go to home bargains and I think I'll use bio powder when I'm washing the floor in future as it does seem to have made a difference

Our pup is 10 weeks, and we've had a fair few accidents in the house over Christmas as it's easy to get distracted. I had the day on my own with her today and set a timer every 45 minutes to take her out.... we've only had one accident in the house hurrah!!!

It's hard going but worth it.

I liked Tesco pet stain and odour remover when our dog was toilet training. Was really effective

White vinegar? Seems to get most smells out of things x

Lime essential oil and distilled water in a spray bottle. Spray about - it neutralizes smells.

The rug doctor does a good spray called Urine Eliminator but to be honest I second PPs suggestion of bio powder/liquid in hot water. Or you could speak to your vet and ask what they use as they have a specific product (I can't for the life of me remember what it is!) that disinfects as well.

Bicarbonate of soda put it on and leave it / rub it in leave it for a while Hoover or brush off. Seems to sort of soak up smells

For the floors, carpets, sofa (basically anything that can’t be put in the washer) go buy simple solution stain and odour remover from pets at home (also available from amazon) it is brilliant and has saved many a mattress from child vomit/urine for me! White vinegar is also very good and very cheap - smells a bit vinegary whilst wet but when dry there’s no smell at all really. The simple solution smells fresh.
