Removing Cat Odors from a House

XO Odor Remover works fairly well. I would get a black light bulb to shine over the room when it's dark. It supposedly shows where cats have sprayed. I've used this and then sprayed Nature's Remedy on and scrubbed and then detergent and scrubbed and got most of it. Sounds like a real project that will need to be done one bit at a time. Good luck. I truly wish you well. I love the animals but sometimes hate their behavior.

I have some experience with this being the owner of a couple cats over the years. I had carpet on slab floors. The only thing I could do to remove the smell of cat urine was remove all the carpet, pad and use clorox to scrub down the cement floor. Also wash the walls with clorox. I know it is a lot of work and expense but it will get rid of the smell. Good luck.

If you have hardwood floors or if you have hardwood under your carpet and pad, I'm afraid you'd be out of luck.

We purchased a home at auction where the owners had raised dogs for a living. There was one section of the house where they let the dogs do their business - both - and it was on hardwood floors. all of the wood had to be replaced.

I'd try a company or calling a company who specializes in cleaning up after disasters, like hurricanes. They could at least put you in the right direction I think.

I guess it depends if they tinkled on carpet and pad underneath; cement; wood. You don't say, but I still think a hardware store would be your best bet.
I'd take up every inch of carpet if it were me though.

What a mess! bless your hearts I hope you come to a solution quickly.

I walked into my empty rental house yesterday and was overcome by the smell of cats and cat urine. She had 3, but it smells like 300.
