Any advice on getting rid of carpet odor?

I need help with carpet odor. My dog has peed all over and I've tried every product on the shelf but I still get a strong whiff of it when I walk in my home. Please help!Any advice on getting rid of carpet odor?
did you try baking soda?Any advice on getting rid of carpet odor?
If there are only a few pee spots, an enzyme cleaner such as Nature's Miracle (buy at PetSmart, Pet Supplies Plus, Petco ... any pet store) will work if you follow the instructions EXACTLY ...





This means SATURATING the area with product, covering with plastic, and allowing it to dry on its own (be warned ... the stench while the product is working is HORRID!) ... and then vacuuming. Often 2 or more treatments are needed, and sometimes the product will discolor the carpet.





If your dog has ';peed all over'; ... your only option is to pull the carpet and pad (it's destroyed ... sorry), seal or replace the floorboards, and install hard-surface flooring. Once dog-piss has soaked through the carpet and into the carpet pad, it cannot be saved.
Get a household extractor and keep after it. Previous odor just tempts the dog to deposit more in the same place. The products from the pet store for the specific purpose are the best. Borax added to the cleaning solution of the extractor is good at neutralizing odor.
Here is a site that I would highly recommend. They have very high quality stain removal techniques. I would suggest repeating the process after the first application, and rinsing the rug out with cool water in between applications. Best of luck!
I have tried product from petsmart and none really eliminated the odor, only masked it. I do however own a product called What Odor? that has completely eliminated every odor i have used it on!!
Try using baking soda and salt. Sprinkle the baking soda and salt all over carpet and let sit for as long as possible (overnight if you can) then vacuum. The baking soda will pull out the odor and the salt will soak up the moisture. I hope this works. Good luck!
The only thing that works is a urine neutralizing spray available from pet supply stores like PetSmart.
