home, you are likely to encounter stubborn yellow urine stains on clothes and
carpets every now and then. Training your pet or your child can be a long
process, leaving you frustrated and angry at the sight of the stains on your
favorite carpet. Although you may not be able to tell the extent of the stink
of your pet or child’s urine since you may have gotten used to it, a guest who
enters the house can smell it immediately, resulting in embarrassment for you.
