Cat Pee on the Carpet ...
 

... anyone got any tips for removal of odour above and beyond replacing the carpet? The wife's bloody cat just pissed under the bed.

On a separate note, when prospective buyers look at that room of the house we will be able to categorically state that there *is* room to swing a cat in there. :rolleyes:

I will never get another cat again in my lifetime because of their piss smell...its something thats very hard to get rid of..i hear a shot gun is adequate.... :D

Am sure I have read that Bicarb of Soda removes smells and stains. Dissolve some and pour over then mop up. Can't do any harm anyway.

Hutch,

I got some advice from the vet because my cat had taken to "protest weeing" in corners. He advised me to use soap powder as it has enzymes in it that will break down the wee, then wipe over the top with methylated spirit. I did it with soap powder then water and vinegar and it did the trick.

Never ever use bleach as there is ammonia in it, theres ammonia in cat wee too so they're more likely to wet there again.

Hope this helps.

Cheers - I'll give that a whirl tommorow. :)

I used to have a tom cat that kept coming in and spraying in the same place - vet sold me some spray stuff that gets rid of the hormones or something like that - he said even if we clean it the cat can still smell it - gotta say it did the trick, never happened again. If you lived nearer I'd give you the bottle I have :D

Hi

I second the soap powder! But make sure it's biological soap powder otherwise it does not have the enzymes in it.

I have also discovered Bicarb of Soda and vinegar recently - they are great for getting rid of smells. Make sure it's white vinegar though!!!!

Good luck - it's horrid when cats do that!!

Hutch,

With four cats in our house, we're unfortunately used to these kind of accidents and would recommend the following, available from Lakeland.

Biological washing powder and surgical spirit mixed in equal parts, in warm water. You may have to do it a couple of times but it works and it puts them off going to the area again. :)

The link above doesn't work so for reference the product from Lakeland is called Bissell OxyKIC Pet Stain Remover.

White Vinegar doused liberally on the offending spot will cure the stink, also place some food (I used a little tub of cat biccies) by the spot too as cats will not "go" where they eat.
