Cat urine odor ?
Hi,
Can any one help me with a problem that I am having at my aunts home. My aunt had many, many cats before she passed away and it took over 3 months to find new homes for them. The question that I have involves cat urine odor in the house. The house requires a lot of work but I cant seem to get any one to work in there because of the odor. Does anyone know of any solutions to remove the urine odor. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks so much, daveJ |

While they dry, pull up the carpeting and the padding, throw it away. Wash the formerly carpeted floors, allow to dry, then apply a poyurethane sealer. Even if you plan to recarpet, this is a necessary step. By now the house should be at least tolerable. Be sure to take all the trash out; don't leave it piled up waiting for trash day. Get a bunch of plug-in air fresheners and put in each room, and keep those windows open. Wash the window screens. (someone's probably sprayed them.) Wash the walls, esp the lower three feet. You might have to remove and replace any wainscoting or wallpaper. Concrete-floored basement? Get everything up off the floor and wash that. Urine is water-soluble but it requires cleaning products and throrough rinsing. Some vendors have black lights that will show the location of any remaining puddles. Good luck! HTH --Karen D. |

Cat urine odor ?
The Following is idea I found earlier:
Buy a litre of Vodka and pour it over a scrapper so it spreads over the entire area. Put plenty down, the smell well make your eyes water but as it dries in about two days the area will be clean, you should have no more problems. The Alcohol reacts with the urine, changing it to a different substance hence the smell, but it's one cat's don't associate with peeing. "davej" wrote in message ...

Never heard of using Vodka! Interesting concept! The smell may be
toxic fumes! I always suggest using enzymatic cleaners since they change the urine to water in little time. You may need to do this more than once, but things should be tolerable in short order. Remove all carpet and padding, and follow the advice given above. Spray the enzymatic cleaner over all wall surfaces before you paint with a sealer, like KILZ. Please use the enzymatic cleaner before you seal the floors, since the poly won't stick if the urine crystalizes, and the odor problem will return with a vengence. On sealed floors, use Polyphenyl cleaner, like PineSol. You can use this on concrete, too, as long as the concrete was sealed before urine hit it. If not, use a skunk deodorizer first. Don't use bleach which contains chlorine. Morgen http://www.for-the-love-of-cats.com |
