The delights (and drawbacks) of keeping a pet

There is so much to love about pets – they’re affectionate, fun, soft to the touch, and adorable – but their stains aren’t. You can get lots of stains from your pets, the most unpleasant being urine and faeces. Most pet stains are protein based, but they can also have other components, like uric acid, which can be difficult to remove even with normal cleaning solutions like bleach. This uric acid also means it’s better to use lukewarm or cool water, as hot water can permanently set the stain and odour by bonding the protein to the fibres.

How to remove pet stains and odours

Before, when you wanted to remove pet stains from your clothes, you needed to pre-treat the stain with a liquid washing detergent – but not anymore. Thanks to Ariel Active All-in-1 PODS + Odour Defence, you can get rid of stubborn stains as well as the unpleasant pet smells they leave behind simply and effectively. Follow our step-by-step guide and become an expert pet stain remover!

How to remove pet stains

    Turn the garment inside out
  1. Turn the garment inside out

    Rinse your clothing with water to dilute pet stains and remove excess.

  2. Put Ariel POD first in the washing machine
  3. Add detergent

    Place one Ariel Active All-in-1 PODS + Odour Defence washing tablet into the bottom of the drum of your washing machine. Use two capsules if you have a large load and three if you’re dealing with an extra-large load of washing.

  4. Add scent boosters to your laundry
  5. Use scent boosters

    For a more perfumed result and a high endurance freshness, add Lenor Unstoppables Active In-Wash scent boosters directly to your washing machine’s drum.

  6. Load your garments
  7. Load your garments

    Place your clothes into the washing machine, but make sure that you do not overfill the drum.

  8. Select program and wash
  9. Wash

    Choose the highest temperature setting as indicated by the fabric care label and watch as the stains and pet odours disappear!

  10. Unload
  11. Unload

    When the cycle is complete, unload the garments immediately.

How to remove pet stains from carpet and furniture

For clothes, trusting in the power of Ariel PODS is enough – as for lifting a pet stains out of upholstery and carpets, you’ll have to rely on more traditional and time-consuming tactics.

    Pour some vinegar on the stain and soak
  1. Soak.

    Pour some white vinegar over the stain.

  2. Sprinkle the stain with baking soda.
  3. Sprinkle with baking soda.

    Use a generous amount of baking soda over the entire stain.

  4. Allow the mixture to sit
  5. Allow the mixture to sit.

    Wait until the mixture of baking soda and white vinegar works its magic. To keep your pets from spreading the baking soda around the house, place a dish over the stain until the vinegar dries and the stain lifts.

  6. Use a vacuum cleaner to clean up the leftover baking soda
  7. Use a vacuum cleaner.

    Clean up the leftover baking soda and marvel at the odourless, stainless result!
