How to get rid of cat urine smell?

My sister took her cat to the vet one day and it urinated all over the seat in the truck. of course the seat is a cloth like material. Not only is the smell of cat urine horrid, but i have to sit on that seat when i have to go somewhere and the odor sticks to your clothes and its embarrasing, especially when youre in public. i have to take my driving test with that this summer and i dont want the truck smelling like cat urine. weve tried shampooing that seat the cat urinated in numerous times. The odor doesnt stay away for even 12 hours. no matter how much we shampoo that seat and no matter how many air fresheners we put in the vehicle, it just doesnt beat that cat urine smell. please tell me theres a way to get rid of it. any way at all. i dont care how harsh the chemicals are. i just want that horrid smell gone! someone please help!? thanks :)

    There is a product with enzymes sold in a white bottle that will kill urine smells in carpet. You soak the carpet and let it dry, it might take per week or two and for the period of that time it still smells. But as soon as the carpet, pad and underlying timber are dry, it does get rid of urine smells. I'd suppose it must work on just timber as well. If that doesn't work, that you may have the ground sealed with poylurethane in an effort to trap the smell and hinder it from going into the room. If the finish on the ground is already in good shape, and its just the smell, you would in general do it your self on a price range, but that is the sort of thing the place a reliable can do a first-class job for no longer a lot more than it bills you for the poly at retail. It expenditures about $2 a square foot to have your floors sanded and have three coats of poly applied. They're going to appear exquisite and have no smell from the urine. Some floor men and women charge $.75 to $1 a square foot further for the urine obstacle due to the fact that sanding makes the urine come out fairly robust and they have got to pay the workers extra to work in that condition. However the main issue will go away with this cure.

    With a truck or car seat you probably have urine in the surface and backing of the fabric and likely also in the foam cushion under the fabric. The urine probably ran down the seat and soaked in at the back edge of the seat getting some urine in the bottom (the part you sit on) seat and some in the back (the part your back leans against) part of the seat. You might have urine that has run down the edge of the seat also.

    What you must do is get a good urine odor neutralizer product in contact with all the urine residue. There are three parts to this that need to happen to be effective and get rid of the odor. 1. Get a good urine odor neutralizer. "Severe Urine Neutralizer SUN" from removeurineodors.com or from Amazon is excellent. It will eliminate the odor of any urine it comes in contact with immediately and permanently. 2. Find all the urine residue and get the neutralizer in contact with all all of it. If you don't find and get the neutralizer in contact with the urine it will not do anything to it and you will not get rid of all the odor. The scent or perfume in the neutralizer may cover the urine odor temporarily but it will not last as you have found with the air fresheners. 3. Use the neutralizer according to the instructions on the neutralizer you are using. For example if you are using an enzyme odor neutralizer you will need to keep the enzymes (the area) damp for hours to days for the enzymes to completely digest and break down the urine molecules and remove the odor. So depending on the type of neutralizer you use the method of use will vary. Just follow the instructions of the one you use.

    We have a machine called "Hoover", and we used it to get rid of the smell of urine on our couches and it worked perfectly! The machine is basically a carpet cleaner and it has different extensions. So if you have some kind of carpet cleaning machine, you can use it on the seats. (I hope I made sense)

    You can try using baking soda too, but if you have the machine, you will get rid of the smell easily and you don't need special cleaners.

    When my cat got neutered, he was unconscious for many hours, and peed on my bed. Mother advised to clean it with a carpet-cleaning mixture, I did it twice, and still had to sleep in another room for a month. But I gues I wouldn't have to, if back these times I knew about Nature's Miracle. Now I don't even try anything else, because this liquid works fine.

    Leave the windows down as much as possible to air it out.

  • Apple cider vinegar should do it, just scrub it and rinse it. If that doesn't work try a pet carpet cleaner? Good luck! (:
