My dog peed on my fabric....

I started noticing an odor, could not figure out where it was coming from. Turns out, the little runt (weighs 6 lbs) had lifted his leg on the end of the bolt-- the fabric is mottled, so it was not noticed even with some scrutiny. I really did not want to wash the whole bolt, so now I'm cutting, and hand washing those strips that were affected as I go.
I can tell you now, that there is nothing quite like the smell of warm ironed dog pee......and he's my daughter's dog!

You might need to use an enzyme neutralizer on the fabric before washing to make sure you get rid of the odor. I've had to do that with cat pee, which is stronger than dog pee. Spray the fabric with enzyme neutralizer, then bag in plastic for 8 hours or so before washing in the machine with detergent.

No way. Either it gets trained, or it's gone.
