DIY Pet Stain & Odor Remover
Recipe:
1 cup apple cider vinegar
1 cup water
1 teaspoon salt
15 drops Lemon essential oil
5 drops Eucalyptus Radiata essential oil
2 cups baking soda (optional, for tough or already-dried stains)
Directions:
If your doggo buddy very recently left a puddle on the living room carpet, use these instructions for removing fresh stains:
Add the essential oils to the salt and mix well.
In a spray bottle, combine the salt mixture, apple cider vinegar, and water. Mix thoroughly until salt has dissolved.
Blot the “accident” to remove excess moisture.
Shake the bottle, then spray the stained area generously until wet.
Let sit for 10–15 minutes.
Using an old towel or rag, soak up the mixture by blotting until moisture is removed. Do not apply heat to aid in the drying process, as it can cause unwanted odors and stains to set permanently.
When you find an older, smellier, set-in stain, use the instructions above to make the DIY pet odor eliminator and then:
Spray the area generously until wet.
Sprinkle baking soda over the stain and leave for 24 hours or until dry. The baking soda will absorb the stain during this time.
Once dry, scoop up as much baking soda as possible and discard, then vacuum thoroughly to remove any remaining powder.
