How can I effectively clean a carpet that is smelling of dog urine?

To effectively clean a carpet smelling of dog urine, start by blotting up as much of the urine as possible with paper towels. Then, mix a solution of equal parts water and white vinegar and apply it to the affected area. Let it sit for a few minutes before blotting it up with more paper towels. Next, sprinkle baking soda over the area and let it sit for a few hours to absorb any remaining odor. Vacuum up the baking soda and repeat the process if necessary.
