Cat odor
#23
Thank you for all of your input.
The cat is going to the vet. Good advice. Thanks
I'm getting a wood floor.
It is cement underneath the carpet and we are scrubbing that with the enzyme formula cleaner. Thankfully it was in the middle of the room so no walls are involved.
What a mess I have in the mean time.

We had same experience with a neighbor's cat spraying on our porch.Thank heaven it was outside where we could use the hose.
The neighbor finally gave the cat to a farmer,after cat started spraying her sofa & a footstool.They repaced both pieces of furniture,but said in damp,rainy weather, they could still smell it.

The people that had our house before us had cats and we had to remove the carpeting and replace some of the floors to get rid of the odors. We tried a LOT of things that said they got rid of odors but it always came back.

I used to use Nature's Miracle until I found KOE. KOE is much more effective and it's so concentrated that a small bottle lasted over a year. Glenn does laundry here and he puts a couple of drops in when he washes dog beds, towels etc and there's no hound smell left when they're done. I don't have any association with the product just an enthusiastic fan.

I purchased Nature's Miracle at Petco and the problem has been solved. I treated the area with the solution full strength and then added to the carpet shampooer. Its the only thing that I've found that will break down the enzyme crystals in the cats urine. I HAD a female that did her business all over the basement, even though she had a clean box. :O It even took the smell out of the concrete floor. YEA!!!!!!
Good luck, I know its extremely annoying!

You need to find one that has enzymes in it that will remove urine odors. There are lots of them, for pets as well as adults. Stores like Petsmart carry many brands and there are also ones online. Zero Odor is one that I've heard works great. I have gotten and used ATX Oder Kill (found online).
Even if you remove the carpet, the smell may still be in the underfloor. Be sure to use a high quality sealer on it and the walls around the area. Those can be found at any good paint store. Seal before you put in any new flooring! Hope this helps!
