Neutralize Pet Odors
Pets tend to return to the same place in the house when they make their periodic pee and other mistakes. Pets have an excellent sense of smell; in fact, they can smell the residue from their previous error, and this makes them feel as if that marks the spot for the next error.
Neutralize the odor by alternating baking soda and vinegar. I always follow cleaning up a pet mess by sprinkling the area with baking soda, leaving that overnight, and then sweeping or vacuuming it up.
Pet urine often has both acidic and alkaline components, so the next step is to neutralize the alkaline baking soda and residual alkaline odor using a strong vinegar wash; I use 2 cups of white distilled water to 1 gallon of water. Wash the area with the vinegar wash, and then rinse. The strong smell of the vinegar will dissipate in a few hours.
