Eliminating Pet Stains from Your Boxer's Clothing

Q: How can I spot treat pet stains?

As soon as you notice the stain, treat it with some cold water. Blot the stain--do not rub it in, as rubbing can cause the stain to spread even further. Blotting also allows you to absorb the liquid in the fabric and should help to reduce or eliminate the stain.

Q: What should I use to remove odors from pet stains?

If there is still an unpleasant odor emanating from the stain, baking soda can help. Sprinkle the baking soda directly on the stain and then allow it to sit for 10 minutes before vacuuming it off. Any residual odor should be gone.

Spot Treat Stain Immediately

The longer a pet stain is left to sit, the harder it will be to remove. As soon as you notice stain, treat it with some cold water. Blot stain--do not rub it in, as rubbing can cause the stain to spread even further. Blotting also allows you to absorb liquid in the fabric and should help to reduce or eliminate stain.

Use a Mild Detergent

For most pet stains, a mild detergent is all you need. Simply wet the item with cold water and then apply a small drop of detergent. Work it into fabric with your fingers and let it sit for five minutes before rinsing with warm water and blotting again.

Use Baking Soda to Remove Odor

If there is still an unpleasant odor emanating from stain, baking soda can help. Sprinkle the baking soda directly on the stain and then allow it to sit for 10 minutes before vacuuming it off. Any residual odor should be gone.

Try Vinegar and Dishwashing Soap

For tougher stains, such as urine, try a mixture of vinegar and dishwashing soap. Combine one cup of white vinegar with one tablespoon of dishwashing soap and mix until it forms a paste. Rub the paste into the stain, let it sit for one hour, and rinse with water.

Try Using Detergent and Hydrogen Peroxide

For stubborn pet stains, try mixing together one tablespoon of liquid laundry detergent and two tablespoons of hydrogen peroxide. Apply the mixture directly to the stained area, let it sit for 10-15 minutes and then rinse with water. The stain should be gone!

Test All Products Before Use

No matter which product you choose to use, always test it on an inconspicuous area of the garment first. This will ensure that the product does not cause any discoloration or damage to the fabric.
