I have a cemented down carpet in my basement on which my cat peed. Does
anyone have a sure-fire cure on getting rid of the smell (other than ripping
up the carpet, of course)? I've heard that some types of enzymes will
work - but the ones I've tried have failed. Thanks......

The last time my 9 year old female cat accidently urinated on the
carpet, I used Arm & Hammer's 'Pet Fresh'. I first soaked up the excess
urine with paper towels. Made sure it was dry then liberally sprinkled
the Pet Fresh over the spot on the carpet. Waited about hour and then
vacuumed it up. Just to make sure there would not be any smell, I
sprinkled some more of the Pet Fresh and let it sit there for about half
a day before vacuuming it. The urine smell was completely gone.

I hope this helps.

Thanks - but, unfortunately, the urine was already dry by the time I found
the smell - so there's nothing to soak up. I'm afraid that it all went
under the rug.

I think you misunderstood me about this product. The instructions say
you use it after the urine is dried 'Do not use on wet or damp carpet'.
Again from the instructions on the box: Blot up problem area and let
dry. Sprinkel liberally on carpet, wait 30 minutes and vacuum
thoroghly'.

Give it a try and see how it works.

The best help I can offer is--sprinkle several boxes of Arm/Hammer baking
soda over the carpeting and leave it there over night and vaccum up the
next day.I don't believe any of the expensive carpet sprays or cleaners
will do any better.I don't think you will ever totally get rid of it.This
should eliminate the smell for awhile and when it comes back just repeat
the process,unless you want to call in a professional carpet cleaner[ouch
,the expense].I don't even think they will give you a guarantee.

Mix some white vinegar with water in a spray bottle. The vinegar will
neutralize the urine. The acid and alkali will neutralize each other. Once
the vinegar dries you might try something like Simple Solution, which you
can get at any pet store, just to leave behind a pleasant smell.
