How to Clean Pet Urine

What is the problem?

Delay lets the liquid reach layers that surface cleaning can't touch, and home remedies like vinegar or ammonia can even encourage the pet to mark the same spot again.

The solution

Blot immediately → local extraction with the right chemical (1 €/tab) → full drying → prevent repeat marking.

How does it work?

1. Press several layers of paper towel onto the spot as soon as possible, absorbing most of the liquid.
2. Avoid ammonia-based products — their smell resembles urine and can encourage repeat marking.
3. Dampen the area with cool water and the right chemical, then blot dry again.
4. Extract with the Puzzi 10/1, covering a wider area than the visible mark.
5. Dry fully; while damp, keep the pet away from the spot.

Fresh spot vs an old case

A fresh, still-damp spot is usually manageable yourself — quick blotting and one extraction cycle is usually enough. If the spot has already dried, or the sofa/carpet smells but you can't see exactly where, the urine has likely reached the foam or backing layer.

In that case one surface clean won't help — you need the same deep extraction, just more thorough, sometimes repeated.

Why speed matters most with pet urine

The longer liquid sits, the more time it has to penetrate deeper and leave crystals that later smell in damp weather. So act as soon as you notice a spot, not whenever it's convenient.
