Anyone have any tips for cleaning rugs whilst trying to housetrain a rabbit. As a last resort i have now had to pull all my rugs up but even after cleaning with washing up liquid and water and also using special foam cleaning stuff for rugs they are still stained and smell very bad. I'm thinking i might just drag them in to the bath today and use some washing powder to give them a clean. Does anyone have any tips? Am i just going to have to ditch them and buy new ones?

Oh i meant to also say diluted tea tree oil is good too and its also antispetic for germs and stuff,i use this for cleaning,i dilute it in a spray bottle with really hot water.
P@H sell stuff for cats to get rid of odour and stains of wee. Its in the litter tray section. It's very good. I use it for my bunnies as they occasionally forget and wee in the corner of the room. It gets the stain out and totally removes the smell too.
It's about £3.99 for a litre bottle or a bit more for the spray. Don't buy the stuff to put in the litter tray though, this stuff is specially for rugs and furniture.

White vinegar and a bit of liquid detergent diluted down is good too....thats what i use to clean accidents...its meant to neutralise the smell so that the rabbit won't reuse the area apparently!

also, if you do wash it in the bath, use biological washing powder - it breaks down the enzymes in the urine. rinse, then white vinegar to get rid of any trace of smell that could possibly be detected by those sensitive rabbit noses!
