Today's useless fact - I've shampooed my carpet to try to remove pet odor, but it's still there. What else can I try?

A couple things have worked well for me. Enzyme based carpet cleaners usually do the trick: "Nature's Miracle", "Kids'n'Pets", and the like. If it is really bad, you can use white vinegar and let it set in for 5 minutes, than go back and PAT dry carefully. It will smell bad at first, but it will keep it odor free for a long time afterwards. If you have a wet dry vac, you can suck it up after patting down and then sprinkle baking soda on it and vacuum it up later. Be sure to always wear latex gloves. If your are getting down on the floor make sure you wear a face mask, as many parasites enter the human body through the mouth and nose by inhalation while cleaning up animal droppings. Parasites can also enter through bare feet and open wounds, so wear shoes. Their ova can live for a long time in a warm house, up to a year. Check out the links in our Carpet category for more.
