I have used the "Simple Soultion" for over 30 years now, they now have an Extreme one that works even better.

Vinegar is the only thing that will get out peeeeeeeeeeeeeee, than take a black light and turn it on after the carpet is dry with the lights out to see if you got it all. It makes pee glow believe it or not. I shampoo first, than rinse with vinegar, getting the carpet real wet, turn the over head fan on to dry. They also have a spray to scram animals, I don't know if that works. Also, your cat may have a UTI and needs a vet to give meds. Good luck,

I have used Nature's Miracle with a dog. If you soak it well and blot immediately, it leaves no smell nor spot. I don't know about cats though.

Thanks in advance for your help. By the way, if you can measure and cut strips for quilting (LOL), you'll find measuring and cutting laminate is a breeze. I'm almost finished putting laminate in the fifth room in my house. |
I know this won't help your current problem but when we moved into our present house and had carpet put down, we paid extra to get a Pet Pad to go under the carpet. So, any pet mistakes do not penetrate the pad or subfloor underneath only the carpet.
Believe me, I have lots of sympathy for you in your situation and wish I had a great remedy. We had a cat who lived to be very old and had problems her whole life. I tried everything with limited success. That was years ago and I hope there is something more effective on the market now. Good Luck! |
I use Pawls urine odor remover for my dogs accidents and it really works. I got mine at walmart. It has enzymes etc.
|
Try RESOLVE (wal-mart)for pets. Or call a carpet cleaning company and ask them. They helped me once. You must keep her litter box clean as when it gets too dirty she will quit using it. It will be pretty hard breaking her once she starts.
|
VINEGAR!~
|
If you decide to replace your flooring, I highly discourage you from getting wood! I had a female cat who would constantly pee in one corner of my room. Yuck! Well, the urine seeped into the wood and into the concrete underneath.
I am going to have it ripped up and replaced with ceramic tile because it is non-porous. BTW, the kitty disappeared eventually. I loved her, but hated her bad habits which I tried everything to break with no success. |
I use oxi clean to shampoo my carpets it takes the stain and the smell.

I bought some "Natural Pet Odor Eliminator made by Citrus Magic. It seems to work, my kitty peed on my sons bed and keep going back to the same spot.I got rid of the odor, but we try to keep the kitty out of there.I think I got it in Walmart
|
NOTHING will work unless it gets to ALL of the urine. If it gets through the carpet to the pad you MUST soak the carpet and the pad. Shampooing the carpet will not get rid of the smell permanently. Don't ask me how I know....just believe me!!! Some pets are murder on a house!!

Did you have to pay around $25.00 shipping?
I started to order the Kit and canceled it when I saw the shipping. I thought that was way too high. What do you think? |

The next step is to get rid of the cat. LOL |

i had a problem with one of my furbabies and the Cat Attract Cat Litter solved the problem in one day and he has never gone any where outside his box again. |
From my understanding you can't completely remove the smell once a cat marks it's territory. I would check with a vet's office to find out if there is really anything that you could use that works. They would know for sure.

sprinkle baking soda and the clubsoda after is tried i use a spray of mouthwash they never marked there again and I have 10 indoor cats

The grout is porous, But you may be able to seal it against liquids.

My cat sometimes gets an "attitude" and the best product I have found to get rid of the odor is called Zero Odor. Before I could only find it online, but now I think they sell it at PetCo. It's a little pricey, but it really does get out the odor.

I got a blacklight to help but I knew where most of the problems were. And we were starting to get pretty bad :-( I had tried a lot of other remedies but this is the 1st that took away ALL the odor. After all those kitties were gone and we were getting new carpet I sprayed it again on the subfloor just because I had extra really because there was no longer any odor even putting your nose on the wood LOL |
NATURES MIRACLE is truly a miracle product! I have six cats so there will be an occasional 'oops'. It is so worth it!!! I have also used Oxyclean diluted in hot water in my carpet cleaner.

Right after I buried the cat, I would use ordor ban, bought it at sams club. its used in morgues and will kill any ordor.

Nature's Miracle works, and I really like Kids n Pets from Walmart (my local grocer carries it also)... I used the Kid's n Pets on a couch my elderly mom "marked" almost daily. We couldn't afford a new sofa...so I drenched the cushions...squeezing the stuff front to back on the cushions. Has some alcohol in it, so dried over night...smell never returned.
The thing to remember with either type...you have to drench the area...not just spray...I opened the bottle and poured it on.

I'm a lifelong cat owner and swear by Stink Free. If you google it you can find it online however stores like Petpros and Petsmart carry it. If you look on line they have a formula for hardwood floors and their product is guaranteed.
|
I have been a cat breeder for 20 years--the very best thing is white vinager. use plenty. soak the spot and blot the first time to get the urine out then soak again and let it dry. It works even better than the enzyme products and is cheap.

How lucky you are to have bengals. They are beautiful and smart and busy. Thank you for the heads up on white vinegar. I'm going to buy a gallon or two.
|
we had the same problem with our old cat. we use the "skunk Spray" recipe we got from the vets office. I donn't have it anymore but I know it contains dishsoap, baking soda and peroxide. you can search it on line. we've used it for new puppy accidents, baby accidents, cat not-so accident, and ofcourse for dogs sprayed by skunks (frequently)
|
This pet urine will prentrate into the subfloor or cement. There was aermodel on HGTV where they had to remove carpet, then treat the floor with something. {It was on a basement concrete floor. Search HGTV to see if you can get the formula and procedure. Best wishes. Thank goodness it is an old carpet. See if the cat has a urinary track infection. Once they start this, it may be difficult to break them of it.

My story: I went to look at a home over 10 years ago. Walked in (and my dog Sallie was with me) and I love the house. Great floor plan, just right for me & 3 of my children. Untill.... Sallie kept marking her territory in the house. The guy kwptr telling me "That's okay". He wasn't bothered at all. Needless to say I made one more attempt to see teh place at a "spur-of-the-moment" time and when the front door opened we couldn't go in.
Well anyway my friend convinced me to take the place The price was perfect) but I couldn't live it until I pulled all of the carpet out down to the concrete foundation, primed the concrete twice, treated it with some product for dog & cat, lay twice as much padding and lay new carpet through the entire house! Pull up your carpet, prime and treat the foundation and lay something else other that carpet!!! |
I bought some stuff at my Vet's that worked well. It's a spray but I just dumped it on and let it soak!

Have you tried plain old vinegar??? It's cheap and very effective. You will need to dilute it a little, then spray on the spot and dab it with a dry cloth. Good luck!

I use to use PDZ on my horse's stall mats and it worked great!
