The odor can be particularly strong in the hot summer weather when most gardening activity takes place. By applying common garden and household chemicals, you can remove the lingering aroma of dog urine.
Things You Will Need
Remove Dog Urine Odor
-
Identify the affected regions of the garden. Dogs tend to use the same area over and over again once they have marked it with their urine.
-
Saturate the selected regions of the garden with water. Use a garden hose to thoroughly douse the vegetation and underlying soil, diluting the urine and reducing the accompanying odor.
-
Allow the area to dry slightly and then spread agricultural lime over the treated portions of the garden. Follow the package directions to determine the correct quantity.
-
Rake the soil lightly, spreading the lime evenly throughout the affected area, and allow it to stand for 24 hours.
-
Mix 32 oz. of hydrogen peroxide, ¼ cup baking soda and ½ teaspoon of mild, liquid dish-washing soap in a large bucket. Transfer the soap solution to a spray bottle and apply it directly on top of the lime. Be sure to thoroughly saturate the area to achieve the greatest effect.
