Will I be able to get the cat urine smell out?

Anyone know of a way to get rid of cat urine smell on carpet?

  • We have a dog and 3 cats and there are several places in our home where we can smell cat urine in our carpets. We have tried having the carpet professionally cleaned and the smell is still there. We don't think that the cats are actively continuing to urinate on those spots but rather that the odor is very difficult to get rid of. I am wondering if anyone knows of a product and/or a way to get rid of the odor. Please answer only if you have a used a product that worked or have first hand knowledge of someone who has. Thank you.

    I have 2 cats & 2 dogs. Naturally there have been accidents - urine, vomit, a kidney infection. I have tried the specialty products like Nature's Miracle and I am sorry, but it doesn't work, at least not for me. And you shouldn't use things like woolite or resolve on your carpet because they are designed to lighten stains, and in sense your carpet. Those products would either saturate the stains or mask the smell for a few days. Even the ones that were designed for steamers. As far as steaming, here is the problem. With a steamer, you are pushing water and whatever chemical you are using down into the carpet. If the chemical is soapy, you are not breaking the stain apart. Instead you are just saturating it in the carpet. The only thing I have found that works is Genesis 950. It's an all purpose cleaner that actually breaks the bond of stains. It is designed to work with water to absorb into the stain. Once it does this, it fully breaks it apart and allows you to remove up all of the lifted stain. If you are not breaking the bond like 950 does, you do not get rid of the stain and the urine smell will return. Look at any other questions posted on here about pet urine stains. they all say they cleaned and scrubbed but the smell is still there. It's because other products don't break the stain apart. Another plus to the product is it is environmentally friendly and non toxic. It won't make your pets sick. In fact one of my cats loves rolling around in it after I clean with it. Granted I don't encourage that, but she doesn't listen. I found 950 at an auto garage and bought it to remove wall paint that was stained in my carpets for over 6 months. Since then I have used it for nearly every cleaning dilemma I have had. If you can not find any near you, it is worth buying on line at http://www.amerikalstore.com.

I tried several different odor removal solutions and the only one that worked for cat urine was Nature's Miracle Urine Destroyer Just for Cats Stain & Residue Eliminator. The regular Nature's Miracle did not work for cat urine. It worked on leather, wood, carpet, fabric and a suitcase. I blotted the excess urine with paper towels, then thoroughly soaked the area (in the case of the suitcase I sprayed the solution). It took several days for the solution to dry. Note: I am sensitive to the smells and this solution has such a strong smell I could taste it. However, once dry the smell of the solution and cat urine was TOTALLY gone and the cat has never gone back.

Clean down to the pad. If your carpet cleaners only cleaned the carpet, not down to the pad, that may be the problem. Urine left behind in the pad beneath the carpet will continue to give off an odor. My carpet cleaner, who has gotten rid of really tough stains in my house, has a recipe for a cleaner made of common household ingredients. He wrote a blog post that explained how to make the solution and how to get the urine cleaned out of the pad. The blog post is linked below. Hope that's helpful!

You can't get rid of it unless you use an ozone generator machine, because everything else won't actually destroy the odor as ozone will. If you're serious about getting rid of the smell, go to http://www.ozoneexperts.com/ -they are a manufacturing company based out of upstate NY who specialize in deodorization technology using ozone. These things work 100% and they offer a 30 day money back guarantee. A little pricey, but well worth it if you are looking for something that really works.
