Help! My carpets smell of dog mess

so the other night one of my two dogs got sick (both ways), not once but twice on my carpets... normally i would toss my spot bot on it (an automated carpet cleaner for those who have yet to experience the fanatsicness of it) but because it was right outside both of my ds's rooms and it was 4 am i had no choice but to use my back up carpet cleaner and clean it that way... well it still stunk so when my dh got home that morning i shampooed them... two days later it still stunk so i shampooed again... this morning it still stunk so i used the carpet powder by arm & hammer... and it still STINKS!... so now i am at my wits end... aside from replacing my carpets (which i am starting to think may be my only hope) does anyone else have a suggestion

just to add that i used the oxy cleaner when i shampooed the rugs... i also used the pet one....

please help!

white vinegar and baking soda...works on everything.....

I would try to see if you could pull up the carpet in the area and treat the padding underneath too....sometimes the smell goes through the padding and that may be why you are not getting the smell out.

My friends cat went both ends all over her bed, and this worked like a charm.

Good luck!

I'll have to try that... pulling the carpet up is not an option as they nicely got it partially on my stairs.. thankfully my carpet cleaner has a hand tool... but i didnt think of the vinegar/baking soda mix... ty

my friend's parents had some animal get into their garage and it went on their carpet. Her mom used Nature's miracle and it got the stink out. We use it at home when Casey had an accident on the carpet, and it got the smell and stain out.

You can get it at Petco

Can you get your rugs professionally cleaned? We had ours done in Dec and what an amazing difference!
