Cat Pee & the Carpet

Mix a solution of warm water and biological soap powder and gently work that into the carpet with a soft brush, going against the nap of the pile. Rinse off with warm water and leave to dry. If you can still smell it a bit, repeat the process. The enzymes in the biological powder should eliminate odours and remove stains.

Bicarbonate of soda will usually remove smells.

Check out amazon.
We tried Citronnella fresh deodorising spray and Extreme Cat Odour Remover spray, to deal with Ollie (young, ex-stray cat) and his ‘stress incontinence’.

We sprayed the carpet several times with both and it worked reasonably well.
Good luck.

My DH swears by zoflora disinfectant to help with smells on fabric. He’s a coach driver and has had some very unfortunate incidents involving all sorts of stains and puddles on his coach and he always has a few bottles with him. Sprinkle with bicarbonate of soda first let it soak right in and then use zoflora and give a good scrub. Also, the cinnamon scented one is lovely.

Try Envii Pet Fresh. It's a natural enzyme spray and the only thing that worked to remove odour and stop the local tom cat territory marking our porch!

Thanks everybody!

Bicarbonate is a life saver for smells much better than all the commercial chemicals

Nothing worse than the smell of cat pee is there Sparklefizz I sympathise, hope one of these solutions works for you.
Now that one of my old dogs has continence problems I am so glad I have hard floors.

Yes, sodapop. She has never peed on the carpet before and I hope she never does again !!!! I don't know what made her do it. Sigh.

Yes to biological washing powder.
My aunt who breeds cats swears by it.
Avoid zoflora - several varieties are unsafe to use around cats, as is Dettol.

I too advocate bicarbonate of soda.

usually there is a reason if a cat wets the floor instead of using her litter box or going outside.

Female cats, like women, tend to get chills on the bladder - a sure sign is that they stop drinking water as it hurts to wee. This of course is the exact opposite of what they should be doing to get rid of the problem.

Moniter her water intake for a couple of days, and if she uses a tray check how often she wees.

Not cat pee but spilled milk in car.

Top came off and there was a good pint went all on carpet in footwell.
I mopped up what I could.

I bought some spray carpet cleaner left it to soak in sprinkled a full tub of bicarb let it dry (had to put up with the smell for few days) then went to garage car wash and used the vac, did the same again and no more smells.

Wouldn’t biological detergent take some colour out?

Not if you don't saturate the carpet with the solution dustyangel. If in any doubt, try a patch test somewhere inconspicuous.

Thank you Chewbacca.

I hope not as I've already used it.
