How do you get cat pee out of carpet. (Other than killing the cat)?

Answers:
There is a product called "urine gone". Its a spray and comes with a smll black light where you can see where the urine is and see that is really gone. You just spray it on and its gone. Its sold at like Walgreens and is in the "As seen on TV" section of the store.

silly goose. killing the cat won't get THAT pee out of the carpet, just prevent future pee.

in fact, depending upon how you kill the filthy beast, your carpet may actually get dirtier.

remember, work SMARTER, not HARDER!

---

Use Baking Soda and if you have white carpet also use a little bleach. And use some kind of oxy clean product.

There is a product called "OUT" SafeWay and Fred Myers carry's it in the pet section. Most pet stores have it too. It works great. you just saturate the pee area and let it air dry. Also removes the stain that pee leaves in a carpet. A mixture of equal parts water and white vinegar in a spray bottle will neutralize the smell

1) Vinegar and water solution or Joy and Water (vinegar works to get smell out)
2) @ Petsmart they sell stuff called "Simple Solution"
those are the easiest
3) simple green
4)Zero Odor pet (www.zeroodorpet.com)

white vinegar

first of all. DONT KILL THE CAT! THATS ANIMAL CRUELTY!

Don't kill the cat--however tempting it may sound at the moment! The pee will still be in your carpet, after all.

Here's a good non-toxic remedy I've had a lot of success with. It does take a few applications, but it does the trick:

Put 1 tablespoon baking soda in a medium-size bowl. Add 3 tablespoons white vinegar. If you want, add a couple drops of your favorite essential oil--I use lavender sometimes--but this is optional. Then add 10 ounces of very hot (just below boiling) water and stir for 10 seconds. When it has cooled slightly, put it into a spray bottle. To use, first mop up what you can with paper towels. Then spray heavily with your solution--get it pretty saturated. Let it sit 10 to 15 minutes, then soak it up with more paper towels. Repeat once or twice, depending on the mess.

Good luck.

Go a PetCo or PetsMart and get a urine, feces, and spray remover. Make sure you get the non-toxic one. Get it up immediately or it will smell. Wet the area with some water and apply the remover. Then let sit for 10min. Then blot up with a rag. Then, you need to put water on it and blot that up too. otherwise your carpet will smell like the remover. Then, place a fan (small or large) by the area to allow it to air out and dry. It may still smell a bit after wards. but that is just the remover. It smells because it is still working. The smell of the remover isn't that bad and will completely go away in about 3 days.

Send your carpet for cleaning.

Steam clean using some vinegar in the solution and then reclean it with just the cleaner and rinse like crazy. Vinegar takes out even the most difficult smells, especially cat urine.

Unless you get at it pronto, it's pretty much a lost cause. We have seven (7) inside dogs who have accidents all the time. If it isn't pee or dumps, it's barf. Last month we corrected the problem as best we could. We ripped up all the carpeting in the main areas (Living areas) and had someone come in and put down a PVC flooring. .which is impervious to urine, barb, beet juice and any one of a hundred different things that might accidently come in contact with a flooring. This stuff is great! Now we rest a whole bunch easier.

If you don't want such a drastic and permanent fix try Spot Shot (Blue can with an orange cap found in the Grocery store) after you have used some paper towels to soak up all the wetness out of the carpet. This is pretty good stuff. We get ours thru Walmart, because they have the largest cans for the best price.

Killing the cat will not get the pee out of the carpet. There are some new products like Urine Gone or something that's supposed to help.

---

Vinegar and baking soda are both natural, non-toxic ways to remove odors. Follow the instructions the other person gave above to clean the carpet with a vinegar mixture. Thats what I do and it is cheaper and better than any commercial product you can buy.

---

try using diluted ammonia.cheap at any grocery store and will have directions on the bottle. if you can still smell it, let it dry and sprinkle with baking soda, let sit for a day or two then vaccuum it up.
worked for me!

Yes, it is tempting to want to kill them when you've got THAT smell all over your house! :) I have an elderly cat who recently got a urinary tract infection and she managed in 1 day to pee all over 3 laundry baskets of clean clothes, numerous throw rugs and OUR COUCH! If your cat's normally litter broken and this pee everywhere is a new thing, this is the first thing you should do- have the vet check for a UTI- peeing out of the box is usually the big, noticeable symptom. A darling cat I had quite a few years ago would actually come and pee right at my feet on the bathroom rug and cry, so I always knew immediately when to take him to the vet (they are usually prone to recurring UTI's if they've had one). Unfortunately they aren't all so helpful!

We used a 3 prong approach on the couch. I think this would also work on installed carpet with foam padding. First we got Nature's Miracle enzyme cleaner at PetSmart (get the gallon- you'll probably need it), although any enzyme cleaner will work. My hubby got one of those insecticide sprayer bottles to mix it and thoroughly SOAKED the pee spot on the couch (we actually ended up pouring it on, although the sprayer was helpful, too). We let it stand and air dry. We kept going back and sniffing and if there was still a whiff of cat pee we re-saturated and let it dry (the pee had soaked into the foam). It took about 3 applications. Second round was after we put the couch back together and could still smell faint whiffs when we sat down. Then I got some Odo-Ban (avail in gal. from Sam's Club or small spray bottle from Wal Mart- I get the gal. due to using it with 4 dogs %26 5 cats), and soaked it with that. After that dried I was still catching an occasional whiff of cat pee when I laid down, so I then did a very heavy spray of Febreeze. I've also been giving the couch an occasional freshening up with either a spray of white vinegar or a spray bottle full of distilled water with about 20 drops lavender essential oil and 20 drops of tea tree oil. It is pleasant smelling and is also supposed to be a mild flea repellent. Must have worked, as my brother-in-law of the sensitive nose slept on our couch last weekend and didn't notice a thing! He wasn't being polite, we were bold enough to ask if he could smell anything.

For our laundry, I washed everything in warm or hot water and included white vinegar, baking soda and a splash of Odo-Ban in every load. I then "nose-checked" as I transferred to the dryer and found that the things directly peed on sometimes came out smelling not like fresh cat urine, but had a bit of a "musky" smell still. These I rewashed till that odor was gone.

Crazy idea my hubby came up with for throw rugs (and we figured if it didn't work that was OK, cause we were going to throw the rugs away if the urine smell didn't come out!): we loaded the throw rugs in the back of our pickup and took them to the car wash. You'll want help- soaking wet rugs are heavy! Hubby hosed down a section of the concrete, laid down the rugs and used the blast hose on them. He then used the car wash soap to soap them up. We did a long, thorough rinse- I made him keep going till I couldn't see or smell the soap. I think it was $5-6 worth of quarters for each 5x8 rug. We took them home and hung them on the clothesline to dry. While they we drying, we sprayed them down with Febreeze too. They no longer smell, and they look pretty good, too.

Hope that helps- good luck!

Get any carpit cleaner . And wash it out with a rag. It works.

You need a enzymatic cleaner. You can purchase them at any pet store. I use Nature's Miracle. It works great.
