Removing Cat Pee and Odor from Carpet

By

My adventures today have lead me here in a desperate attempt to fix the cat pee smell invading my new apartment. I am pretty sure I just moved into your appartment because, eww, this place smells like a litter box. I have been scrubbing all day with hydrogen peroxide, liquid dish washing soap, and Arm and Hammer baking soda...it still smells so horrible!! I am not exaggerating. The complex just cleaned the carpets with a machine but the smell didn't come out. To be honest, the only thing you can do is replace the carpet/matting. The smell really cannot be removed. So here is to you, all you people who let your cats pee all over everything. I now gag every time I enter my apartment and when I get a wiff of the floor. I also get to spend hours and lots of money on your rude neglect. I am just going to get a lot of air fresheners and douse the place. I am hoping the smell subsides in the winter. Do you think if I bought a bunch of rugs the smell would stay underneath them?

If you look further down this page I have listed a recipe that most folks have in their cabinets and I do guarantee it works. Please scroll down to see it. I would post it again, but then it would be repetitive.

Hope it works for you, it has worked for us in many situations including a cat that got into my husband's van (we forgot to close the back door all night long) and he no longer has that nasty smell.

I suggest you try an enzymatic cleaner. It'll break down urine, feces, vomit (biological wastes) so that the cat doesn't come back to the same spot. You'll have to saturate the area to get down to the padding, and you might want to treat the area twice, just to be sure.

Just a few days ago, someone posted about a dog peeing on the floor. Maybe it'll be of some help to you.

I have 2 boys and 2 male cats that just got fixed. There are black marks on my carpet through out the house.

I had to put my cat down after she developed stones. I want to get a new kitten, but I'm afraid he will urinate in the spot on the carpet where my other cat did when she was sick.

How do I remove cat urine smell from my carpet?

How do I get rid of cat urine odor in my carpets?

My 9 yr old cat has been going potty on my rug and I can't get rid of the smell.
