I have found that the best way to soak up the pee is to initially blot with paper towels or white rags, then I cover the entire pee spot with about a 1/2 inch of Borax (found in the laundry isle). This pulls up most of the remaining wetness, more than towels, more than baking soda. I leave the Borax on for a about a day. It'll get damp and turn light yellow, then I sweep it up with a hand brush and dust pan (I don't want that stuff in my vacuum). I keep applying the Borax until it no longer gets damp. Unfortunately, this can take quite a bit of the stuff, but it really works (I am in no way affiliated with Borax, nor am I getting compensated for this). I've also found that the dogs don't repeat-pee on the area treated. Bonus! Until I can get the Little Green Machine this has been the most effective way I've found to get the pee up. By the way, I've had dogs all my life and have had to deal with my fair share of accidents and this is the only thing that has worked, including enzymatic cleaners.
