Cat Urine Odor on Clothing

My cat urinated on a some clothes in my bathroom. I put it in my washer, now my washer smells like cat urine. When I wash anything else it comes out with that smell. Does anyone know what I can use to get the smell out? Please help.

I have the same problem. I just use laundry soap (cheap stuff) and 1/2 a box of baking soda. You are supposed to use cold water as hot seems to "set" the smell. But I start it in warm water so the laundry soap and baking soda mixes well, then switch it over to cold water for the rest of the filling of the tub.

Start the washer and set a timer for about 13 minutes. When that timer goes off, reset the washer for another 15 minutes and then reset your timer one more time. You'll want your clothes to soak in the solution for at least 1/2 hour to 45 minutes. When the washer goes to the rinse cycle, add a 1/2 cup white vinegar.

It works for us. Good luck!

I had a male cat use my front porch & door as a toilet. I used white vinegar & a little bit of scented Dawn dish soap. Just sprayed & let dry. It worked really well & it also stopped him from doing it again.

Prewash with a goodly amount of white vinegar...I keep a gallon of cheap dollar store white vinegar near the washer for just such a purpose!

Soak in Dawn and baking soda solution in washer: Put in 1/4 cup dawn & 2 cups baking soda in washer while filling with water. add clothes, soak and run regular cycle. Rinse & rewash with 1 cup baking soda in laundry detergent. Again, fill washer with water & detergent before putting in clothes. I always fill washer with detergent, baking soda & water before I add clothes.
