Have a bad pet odor and trying to sell your house? This is one of the first things buyers notice when they walk into a home. It has to be eliminated to sell. Some suggestions:
1. Use a fluorescent black light to find the spots. They sell them at pet stores.
2. Remove the spots with a cleaner, and after it dries, with a odor neutralizer. Never use ammonia, because it can trigger more pet accidents.
3. Sarah Casey Newman from the St. Louis Post-Dispatch suggests 3 products---Bramton's Oxy Solution Pet Stain and Odor Destroyer (be sure to test it first) for cleaning; Safest disinfectant is Chlorhexidine, which is sold under such names as Novasan, Chlorasan, and Chlorhex by veterinarians and medical-supply outlets for deep cleaning. A temporary neutralizer: Fresh Wave.
4. If the odor is really bad, or there are a lot of spots, the carpet should be replaced or new wood flooring installed.
