Nobody's proud of it, least of all your pet. Here's how to clean up without the drama.

Quick answer: blot, rinse in cold water, wash with an enzyme formula like Just 9, then air-dry and sniff before using the dryer. Never cover it with fragrance.

Why fragrance won't fix it

Perfume just sits on top of the smell. Worse, if a pet can still smell their spot, they may go back to it. You want the odor gone, not disguised.

The method

1. Blot as much as you can with paper towels.
2. Rinse cold. Hot water can set the smell.
3. Wash with Just 9. Enzymes help break down what's left.
4. Air-dry and do the sniff test.
5. Repeat before drying if you can still smell it.

Mattresses and couches

Blot well, then use an enzyme cleaner made for upholstery. Don't soak the cushion.

When to call the vet

If accidents are new or happening often, check with your vet. Sometimes it's not behavior at all.
