What can I use to get the smell of cat urine out of carpet?

Question

I have steam cleaned the rug with a pet odor carpet shampoo...and have used oxy clean on it. Also tried that Urine out stuff you aee on TV....yet there is still a distinct smell of cat urine in that bathroom.

Answer 1

Hi there...consider using Nature's Miracle (available worldwide at any pet store). It's an enzymatic neutralizer which lifts the urine odours by thoroughly soaking the affected area to let air dry. Repeated applications may be necessary depending on how heavily soiled the seat is.

Here's a photo to help you recognize the product on the store shelves: http://www.petsmart.com/media/ps/images/products/detail/large/June05/lg_50648_47f09.jpg

there are quite some products you should use, yet they’re in basic terms going to handle the elements they could attain. If this stain sat for awhile before you discovered it or if the cat many times used an same spot, the urine might want to have penetrated your carpet pad or the sub floor. If this scent has been round for awhile, you would possibly want to prefer to think about having that part of carpet bumped off and patched.

Answer 3

First buy a black-light. This is a great trick to find exactly where the urine is. It will florescent in the dark. Then pull the carpet up and replace the pad underneath where you saw it glow. Replacing the pad is the best solution to removing it completely.

Answer 4

Put vinegar and water in a spray bottle...soak the area so it gets into the padding and let it dry naturally for a day or so then shampoo your carpet. It may take a few times but it works. I worked for a vet's office.

Answer 5

I tried the banking soda thing and it didn't work. Get a bottle of rubbing alcohol and put a spray top on it. Spray the rubbing alcohol all over the area and around it until its saturated. Let it dry and do it again. The smell should be gone after a couple applications.

Answer 6

something in the cat urine doesn't allow for the odor to be gone. you will need to remove the carpet, padding and maybe replace the wood under it. that is one smell cleaning doesn't get rid of

Answer 7

Well unfortunately if all of those methods have failed the last option I would suggest is baking soda. It absorbs a lot of odors, but you may have to rip up the carpet to get rid of the smell permanently. I know from experience. Good luck.

Answer 8

We use a product called "Spot Shot", and it pretty much removes Bichon wizz from the carpet, and removes the odor as well... Believe we get it from Wal-mart... Have not tried it on cat wizz, but think it is about the best solution to your kind of problem...Hope it works for you...

Answer 9

Febreze worked for me. If there is padding under the carpet or a wooden floor it's going to be hard with taking it all up. Check at a pet store to see what they have.

Answer 10

I did all the same things you did and I could still smell it too. I think I shampooed it 12 times (no kidding) and used all the same stuff....it wasn't until a few days later when it dried completely that the smell finally went away...........
