We are day 4 of potty training and it's going really well! But we've had a few accidents on the carpet! And I just can't get the smell out, I've used vanish carpet and upholstery stain remover, and Dr Beckmans pet stain and odour remover aswell as giving all the offending areas a good cleaning with the spot cleaner machine.. absolutely nothing it still smells π€’

I think bicarbonate of soda is good for lifting stubborn smells! Xx

I'm not a toddler mum but I do have 3 nephews and an anxious dog that pees of my carpets all the time π
I use baking soda while "fresh" (google how to apply) and later on if the smell sticks, something called Rodalon (I am in Denmark but I think it is an international product, it is a Benzalkonium chloride spray).
If your carpets are removable, it helps to bring them outside to air π

I used dettol and shake and vac

Also might be worth getting a spotclean carpet cleaner

I have a bissell spot cleaner that I've been using along with the cleaning product that comes with it but it's honestly not done anything π
I've used that pet odour remover before and its good stuff, so I'll give that a try for this! π€

White vinegar

White vinegar! I don't have a toddler yet but we have a pet that makes a mess sometimes.

is white vinegar the same as distilled vinegar? π€£

I haven't tried vinegar specifically on getting urine smell from a carpet as I have hard floors but vinegar is good for removing smells in general so would definitely give that go!

Invest in a spot cleaner! Honestly it's life changing. We've got a vax one and we're always whipping it out

I have one already, I did say in my post that I had been using it π but thank you!
Tempted to get a full carpet cleaner though! Vax have had some amazing deals for black Friday! π€©

@Maddie sorry! My fault for skim reading βΊοΈ and the smell is still there? Maybe you just need a better cleaning solution to use with it?

Yep, white vinegar and distilled vinegar is the same thing π
