pet urine, whiskey, perfume, you can use white vinegar to get rid of most smells on most materials: carpets, furniture, clothes, without damaging the material.

vinegar is amazing at breaking down odors and then evaporating and not leaving a trace.

    With carpet it depends on how deep it went. If it’s a big spot, chances are it’s through the padding and maybe even subfloor, and the odor comes back if not completely neutralized. I’ve had to pull up and replace padding before in spots because once it gets in that stuff, it’s hard to get out. The carpet itself isn’t the problem.

    Also, once you’ve seen underneath a carpet/padding that has some age to it, you won’t want carpet again. It’s no wonder odors linger.
