Cat urine smell?

If I were doing it in my house, I'd use the Natures Miracle or Simple Solution. Then I would prime with an odor blocking primer. Maybe this is overkill, but new carpeting is not cheap. I believe in being safe, not sorry.

Get a gallon or so bottle of Nature's Miracle at any pet store. It contains an enzyme that breaks down the proteins in organic compounds, including cat urine. Pour it directly on the soiled surface and let it sit there for a while (if directly on wood, probably for a couple of hours). It should eventually all soak in. If not, after two hours use a towel to sop up the excess and let it dry (a day or two). The smell will be gone and replaced by a citrussy scent that discourages "accidents" in that same location.

In the future, if you get a urine stain on the carpet, pour the Nature's Miracle directly on the carpet and let it sit overnight. Then sop up the excess the next day and just let the area dry. Or you can place a towel over the wet area. The towel will wick up the excess liquid over night.

Remove the carpet, clean whatever floor is under it and rent an ozone generator for shock treatment to kill odors, bacteria and any mold that may be lurking before laying the new carpet. After you've carpeted and painted, you can use it to get rid of the chemical odors from new paint and carpet.

Now that I have my own generator, I would never move into a previously owned home without shocking it first.

Ozone generators are used for smoke damage and crime scene cleanup (use your imagination). Pet odors are a piece of cake. As are musty smelling basements.

You can even buy your own small generator and use it for freshening up anything from dry-clean-only clothes to your car to a teenage boy's bedroom (gross!!). Many even come with a car cord that plugs into the cigarette lighter (used by rental companies, used car lots and automotive detail shops).

No, I don't sell ozone generators. I just did a lot of research on killing smoke odors (also a piece of cake with an ozone generator).

The problem with cat or dog urine on the carpet is not the carpet itself, but the pad under it. You can use some of the urin away products found in pet stores on the carpet, but you need to pull the carpet back & use that stuff on the pad too. Another alternative is to buy a 1 or 2 yard piece of padding (because there's always more spots than you knew of), pull the carpet back & cut out the pad that is soaked. Before you put the carpet back over it, place a trainer pad between the carpet & pad. I have seen the trainer pads at Wal-Mart in the pet section.

Use a 1/4 mixture of bleach to water to disinfect and kill the odour-causing bacteria; let dry. You can then reseal the floorboard if necessary. For particularly bad stains, sand the area gently, then use the bleach-water mix, then let dry and reseal. The smell should be gone.

I have found that enzyme products work even better than bleach solutions for urine smell. Enzymes actually cling to and eat organic matter. I use Odor-cide. Sealing the wood is your choice.

Pour some bleach over the areas, then let dry. I found useing a product called KILZ works great you can get at any do it yourslf stores, or Wal-Mart in the paint dept.

Enzyme treatment.

Kids 'n' Pets has worked well for me.
