How do I get the smell of cat urine out of my carpet?

Answer 1

Hi
For just a few spots

Nature’s Miracle should work. It is available at Petsmart. Make sure you follow the direction. The main reason that it fails is that people just sprays it on and wipe it up and not let it soak into the carpet and pad like the urine did. You may need to do this 2 or 3 time. Just reminder that the urine treatment product needs to go where the urine went for it to work properly. After you clean the spots, you should shampoo the carpet using this product on the front and back of rug.


For really bad urine smell

First thing you need to know is that urine is classified as carpet damage. 90 % of the urine sits in the under pad and that is the hardest to remove. This is the reason you smell it when you wet it. In most cases if you can smell it it’s pass the point of treating from the surface. To clean it properly it is a fairly big job

Things you will need: carpet-cleaning machine.
Chemical for removing urine I recommend (Nature's Miracle is a liquid containing enzymes that feed on the organisms that give urine its odours.), which you can buy at a pet store. (Some people have use vinegar (one part vinegar to five parts water)

New under pad for the carpet

1/ lift the carpet where you think the urine is. You can tell from the bottom side of the carpet by the watermarks. You will need to extract the backside of the carpet with the urine remove treatment product.
2/ cut out the entire infected under pad and wash the floor with the urine treatment.
3/replace the under pad with the new stuff
4/ as you are laying the carpet back down treat the top of the carpet with the urine treatment.
5/ When the carpet is all back you will need to clean the all of the carpet with the urine treatment product. Just reminder that the urine treatment product needs to go where the urine went for it to work properly.
In my experience, Nature's Miracle is your best bet. Good luck!

Answer 2

Urine contamination can be successfully removed by a trained professional carpet cleaner. Yes, the pad can be saved!

Worst case scenario, the carpet is lifted. The subfloor is sealed to contain the odor. The padding and carpet are treated with an active enzyme deodorizer.

Wallaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!

House doesn't stink like cat pee anymore!

Answer 3

Urine is a tough smell to get out. Clean the area well with carpet cleaner remove out as much moisture as you can . spray the area with a mixture of vinegar and water.... keep blotting .....it may take a bit but should remove the smell and not discolor the carpet.

Answer 4

Two steps:

1. Clean your carpet with a Steam Cleaner or Carpet Cleaner. You can rent one from the store, or maybe have it professionaly done. Use PET ODER remover chemical in the rented machine.

2. A cheaper option is use SPOT SHOT. This is a great stain remover that will help with the oder. FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS>

3. Use a oder remover spray or even just backing powder on the spot after it is cleaned.

Answer 5

You can use a product called PetZime, you can get it at PetsMart. If the urine soaked through to the carpet pad you will need to have it professionally steam cleaned.

Answer 6

Go to your local Target, Walmart, Kmart, Home Depot, Lowes, etc.. or even your local pet store and get any product that treats pet stains. These are typically an enzyme based cleaner. I personally had great results using a product by Woolite. I honestly forget the name of it, I only recall that it had a light blue lable. I found it on the pet supply aisle. But the key thing to look for is to get one that is an enzyme based cleaner, this actually breaks down the stain and not just cover up the odor.

Answer 7

you would have to do a lot of scrubbing and cleaning it and when u do go to the pet store and buy this kind of spray that makes animals not want to pee there and spray it all over ur carpet and other areas of the house u dont want ur cat peeing, its oderless too. Just ask soemone who works at a pet store and u'll be on ur way , hope this helps out, i know what ur going through :o)

Answer 8

Get new carpet the smell never comes out.

Answer 9

You have to have the carpet pad cleaned as well. It may take several cleanings. Call someone to do it for you or get a really good machine from somewhere.

Answer 10

Gasoline and a match! Sorry - once it's into the pad it's nearly impossible to get it out. Pet stores usually have some products that can help. I'd try Petsmart and see what is in their housebreaking aisle. Good luck!
