First, you have to remove the poop. You have a few options for this step. You can use rubber gloves, paper towels, a dustpan, or a plastic bag. Just make sure you don’t touch the droppings with bare skin, and then whatever happens, wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water.

Then use a stain remover. This should be a prewash product for clothing stains and should say “oxi” on the bottle (OxiClean, Oxi-Action, etc.). Or if you prefer, you can buy a product made specifically for pet stains. All of these products should be available in supermarkets, pet stores, and retail stores like Target and Walmart. Follow the directions on the bottle and apply it to the carpet.

Next, prepare a bucket of cold, soapy water. Dip a cloth in the water and rub the stain. Alternate between the stain remover and soapy water to thoroughly clean the carpet fibers. Make sure to rinse the cloth several times so you don’t rub the droppings on the carpet.

Now that the stain is gone, use a cloth or paper towel to soak up the liquid from the carpet. Press with your hand or push down with your foot. Repeat until the carpet is slightly damp.

Then, to finish, prepare a solution of 1/4 cup of vinegar and 1/4 cup of water. Stop on the carpet and dry again. Next, sprinkle on baking soda, completely covering the area and making sure the dust seeps into the carpet fibers. Let the product sit overnight and vacuum in the morning. This step will ensure that your carpet is odor free.
