Removing cat odor
Is there any real way to get rid of Cat odor? We just bought the house
from a cat owner and 1 room (where the cat lived) is rank with odor. We've tried some things from the hardware store and petstore, but the smell comes back within days of applying. Should we just change out the carpet and padding in that room? Any thoughts? Don |

Don An enzyme cleaner from the pet shop like natures miracle or and oxygen bleach containing soap can work like Oxy Clean (spelling?) can work. Any cleaner however must be allowed to soak into the rug, the pad and into the floor underneath as they have to get down as far as the urine did. The time need to soak in can take two to three hours and there is no reason you can't leave it on longer. Also please make sure that you are cleaning beyond the edges of the urine and a black light can help you find if there are any more spots in the room. Best of luck. Larry Osborne |

I've used Oxyclean to remove stains... There's nothing better. But for
odors, try to find Real Ayre. Note the spelling. Search for it on the Internet. And get your hands on a carpet syringe to inject it into the padding and below... I have a female cat with a habit of using the carpet for her litter box because I adopted another cat. She doesn't like to share litter boxes with the new addition to our family. Natures Miracle worked a little but I had to use so much of it, it wasn't economical. Plus the odor kept coming back like you experienced. All of the local cat rescue and adoption agencies swear by Real Ayre and a good carpet syringe. You can actually buy a carpet syringe tool that is more like a pump with a tube into the bottle. Keeps you from having to refill the syringe. And get a black light... "Larry Osborne" wrote in message ... "D Holloway" wrote in message ... Is there any real way to get rid of Cat odor?

If you have not already used sealers or paint, you may want to use OdorXit.
Its mostly available on the web at www.odorxit.com though there are some local distribution outlets listed on the site Marty D Holloway wrote: Is there any real way to get rid of Cat odor?
