Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / January 2006Help please re cat carpet odour!
A close relative has a dear old longhair former stray named Bud who's diabetic, and whose urine has a particularly strong odour. Unfortunately Bud can't control his bladder, and our relative's wall-to-wall carpeting reeks of urine. Ordinary rug shampooing won't remove it. Is there something that will remove at least some of the smell? It would have to be an international product available in the Toronto area, perhaps that can be mixed into a rug shampooer, or applied by brush. Any suggestions are very welcome! Thanks. www.urinegone.com I have tried it and it worked for me >A close relative has a dear old longhair former stray named Bud who's >diabetic, and whose urine has a particularly strong odour.

Thanks. > www.urinegone.com I have tried it and it worked for me We hadn't heard of Urinegone until your heads-up. Thanks for the info. Looking at the website, the product seems useful behind large furniture, where Bud has sneaked to do his thing in spots - just what Urinegone is designed to deal with. Unfortunately the entire carpet areas need deodorizing, so our relative will also need something that can cover larger areas - perhaps an additive to carpet shampoo. If you or anyone know of such a product, please write. (Normal shampoos don't work.) Thanks again. Here in the US most professional carpet cleaners companies have a chemical they use to clean the problem. I you have a local chemical cleaning supply company give them a call and ask what is in stock. I don't know what the regulations are there. here is a link about removing urine http://www.fanciers.com/cat-faqs/misc.shtml But I have a bad feeling you are going to have to pull the carpet up and remove the padding underneath of it. It is easy to clean the carpet but the padding and the floor below absorbs the odor. >>>A close relative has a dear old longhair former stray named Bud who's >>>diabetic, and whose urine has a particularly strong odour.

I'm afraid you're right. Our relative is already talking about taking up the carpet - a big undertaking. I really appreciate both your helpful replies, and he will too. I believe Phil's site has something about urine remover in concrete http://www.maxshouse.com/Database_toc.htm if not and you have the newsgroup rec.pets.cats.health+behav Ping PHIL P in it and ask about urine removing on concrete of baseboards >>>>>A close relative has a dear old longhair former stray named Bud who's >>>>>diabetic, and whose urine has a particularly strong odour.

I've had pretty good luck wiith Nature's Miracle. It takes longer than the other product others have recommended, but it's widely available and quite effective. We fostered 2 older pugs for a time whom, we discovered, were NOT housebroken. Then my beautiful old Calvin kitty, before he crossed the Bridge, lost control of his bowels. Even though I stashed litter boxes in every room he couldn't always make it. The place stank. I finally used straight Nature's Miracle in our carpet cleaner but in the end the carpet had to go. We have hardwood floors and linolium now and I love it. So much easier to care for! Especially when the pups we have now were young and not house broken either. Heck, they still occasionally have accidents. PatM >A close relative has a dear old longhair former stray named Bud who's >diabetic, and whose urine has a particularly strong odour.

I will see if I can dig up the web address. The stuff works really well.

There is a product called Simple Green that seems to work well on smells like this. Jill Got to be careful with simply green it will remove coloring in some items >> A close relative has a dear old longhair former stray named Bud who's >> diabetic, and whose urine has a particularly strong odour.

I had a similar problem some years ago when one of my dogs had Cushings Syndrome and two of the others were in kidney failure as oldies. None of them could help peeing on the carpet even though they were previously completely housetrained. Although dog urine is nowhere near as smelly as cat's is, I was aware that the carpet smelt of ammonia no matter what product I used. I stopped inviting anyone over who did not understand why my carpet stank as I figured it was pointless to get a new carpet while the health problems were still there. This might be something that has to be lived with for the moment, difficult as it is. I hope some sort of product can be found that removes the odour for you. I waited until my old beloveds finally went to RB before I got a new carpet. Tweed |
