Conquer carpet odors with ‘disappearing’ vinegar

A natural antibacterial, vinegar neutralizes pet smells. First, soak up any liquid, then mix equal parts vinegar and water in a spray bottle and apply to the soiled spot. Let sit for 10 minutes and blot with a rag; repeat until the odor is gone. And don’t worry about a lingering vinegar smell: It dissipates as it dries.
