Do steam vacuums get rabbit urine out of the carpet?

Do steam vacuums get rabbit urine out of the carpet? I have some older rabbit urine stains that I've tried to clean several times by hand with a water and vinegar mixture and no matter how long and hard I do it, it stays the same. What do you think?

It's better to use a cool water shampoo machine.

Heat can set in the stains as well as the odor.

:yeahthat:--vinegar just masks the smell, doesn't do much for cleaning. I have a Bissel spot cleaner and a Hoover carpet cleaner that both work excellent on small and large areas respectively.

Thanks for the ideas! I found a random carpet cleaner in my storage room and Imma try it tommorow and see!

Have you tried peroxide? It kills the odor causing bacteria, you would need to saturate the area. You can make a mixture of water and peroxide. Also have you tried enzyme cleaners like natures miracle? After you do the peroxide, put the enzyme cleaner on the spot(s). Worked great for the spots on my rug where a kitten peed several times :X. After that I went and steam cleaned everything. No more smell.

You're welcome. If you google "how to get cat urine off the carpet" some homemade recipes will come up for the peroxide cleaner, basically what "oxy" cleaners have in them. I swear by nature's miracle and the one by the dog whisper, those enzyme cleaners are amazing.

Kk, I'll def. try those!

When my dad spilled a glass of wine on my mom's white carpet I cleaned it up using hydrogen peroxide.

As for pets, I was going to show my apt last month and my dog decided to pee on the floor an hour before they came. I used my bissel spot cleaner and it came right up, just left a small damp spot. I told them I was spot cleaning the floor earlier that day so they wouldn't think a dog had peed inside or anything, haha.
