When we moved in 2 months ago there were a few stains on the carpet, but otherwise it looked clean. I vacuum once a week just on principle I like to walk on clean carpet. However, I got a puppy for christmas and she’s already mostly house broken. We’ve just had maybe 3 or 4 accidents. I noticed she went on the stained parts of the carpet. Our carpet is a medium brown color and the stains are just a little darker so I wasn’t too worried and noted it on my move in check list. As I was cleaning the accidents, I noticed quite a bit of dirt coming up also. I wanted to steam clean, but I know that some steam cleaners actually soak the carpet which can cause the carpet to not get completely dry in some areas leading to mold or rotting. I’m not sure what to do because it’s killing the neat freak in me that the floor is so icky. We were told that it had been professionally steam cleaned prior to us moving in, but that seems highly doubtful. Any ideas on how or what I should use to clean my carpet? I’m kind of on a tight budget so the best for the cheapest price would be great.

I have a 4 month old puppy who is always going inside of my carpeted apartment. When I decide to move, do you think a professional steam cleaning company can clean the carpets after I get everything out of my apartment and get out any stains or smells? I use resolve (for pet stains) on all the spots the dog makes right after she pees . Also if anyone knows some tips to get dogs to use those pee pee pads, that would help me a lot.. My dog just thinks those pads are toys and chews them.
Just added a pee pee pad and used a spray that attracts dogs to pee there, but my dog used her paws to tear holes through the padding and plastic and tried to eat the pad.
