Add the essential oils to the salt and mix well.<br \/>\n2. In a spray bottle, combine the salt mixture, apple cider vinegar, and water. Mix thoroughly until salt has dissolved.<br \/>\n3. Blot the \u201caccident\u201d to remove excess moisture.<br \/>\n4. Shake the bottle, then spray the stained area generously until wet.<br \/>\n5. Let sit for 10\u201315 minutes.<br \/>\n6. Using an old towel or rag, soak up the mixture by blotting until moisture is removed. Do not apply heat to aid in the drying process, as it can cause unwanted odors and stains to set permanently.<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #4b98a8\">When you find an older, smellier, set-in stain, use the instructions above to make the DIY pet odor eliminator and then:<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>1. Spray the area generously until wet.<br \/>\n2. Sprinkle baking soda over the stain and leave for 24 hours or until dry. The baking soda will absorb the stain during this time.<br \/>\nOnce dry, scoop up as much baking soda as possible and discard, then vacuum thoroughly to remove any remaining powder.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>[playbuzz-item wp-pb-id=&#8221;759056&#8243; item=&#8221;4381f012-081d-45c2-a719-ec6c543fd40e&#8221; info=&#8221;false&#8221; shares=&#8221;false&#8221; comments=&#8221;false&#8221; recommend=&#8221;undefined&#8221;]<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><span style=\"color: #4b98a8\"><strong>Having a pet in the family means unconditional love<\/strong><\/span>, which\u2014of course\u2014means occasionally taking the messy with everything good.
