I do not know. It smells like mildew to me. You have a good point here though. I have someone coming over this afternoon who I can ask if it looks like mildew or just seems still dirty. Though I do already have all the ingredients for RJ's solution so that is something to think about.

I have not had to deal with that problem, but have had dog urine in the carpet that will stink. I eventually discovered the enzyme products that break down the urine proteins and eliminate the odor. It takes a few days for them to do it. The brand name that I use is "Simple Solution" because it is the least expensive and yet still works great. Such products are generally available where pet food is sold. I would give the enzyme products a try before using bleach. - Gil Laster, Charlotte, NC [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
