Simple Green is the best carpet cleaning solution I have ever found..that incl. pet stain removal... read bottle for proper mix... I agree with using paper towels to remove dog/cat stools first but not to blot stain with... old wash cloths and towels work best on both urine and stool...

I agree with using old bath towels for this job. It costs less to launder them than to buy more paper, plus it saves landfill space and trees.

I prefer to use old cloth towels rather than a lot of paper towels. It's cheaper and less in the landfills.
