2. Doesn't that just mask it?
I want to root it out at the atom level.

12. If it doesn't work on dog pee (and it doesn't), it's sure as heck not...

3. I posted a few weeks ago
regarding cat urine on carpet. I got great responses, including one from one very wise DU'er who told me to use vinegar and water. I was shocked... the smell came out COMPLETELY! Vinegar and water.... seriously!

1/2 and 1/2. I was REALLY shocked.. I didn''t think it would work, but it did. Take the half/half solution and mix it up... use a sponge or cloth and lightly scrub. You;ll be shocked... trust me.

I fly to Dallas and Houston a lot. Maybe not Houston this week. And do you like it rare, medium-rare, or medium? And let's go to a NICE place (provided this works), cuz I'll be on an expense account. JD

I'll try and pull a few strings. Is that where 6th street is? Isn't Austin Texas' smart city? JD

15. I don't think so, though I could have been channeling Mrs. McLargehuge

11. I vouch too.... and one more tip
The vinegar/water mixture can leave a stain... just from the acid in the vinegar...you can get that out with a small amount of baking soda mixed with warm water. Mom of many feline babies here.

Pour a glass of 1/2 white vinegar and 1/2 water on the stain...and then pat dry...and then pour a glass of warm water and baking soda on it? :beer:

19. Let the vinegar soak in for a bit... then pat dry...
then as it starts to dry, blot it with a mixture of about a tablespoon of baking soda and warm water around the edges to counteract the vinegar and let it dry... should be good as new.

9. It also works in the laundry,
as once we had a cat who like to pee in laundry baskets.

16. Go to a pet store they have a product that works...
It's specifically for cat pee. I can't remember the name (and there are several brands). I seem to recall that it was under $10.

It hasn't been miraculous when I've tried it.

23. The reason that shit doesn't work and vinegar does...
you don't need fancy deodorants, you need to counteract the ammonia in the urine... that's what the pH in the vinegar does.

24. So if it works so well...
Why hasn't someone bottled this miraculous mixture? Not being confrontational - just playing Devil's Advocate. JD

27. It sure works on dog pee..., when nothing else I tried would (including...

vinegar). Cat pee is pretty damned impervious to anything short of a nuclear bomb.

29. A little can smell a real long way too.
Baking powder in the litter seems to only alleviate the odour for about an hour. At least Fritzi uses the litter. A friend of ours had a cat who liked to pee on his books!! (He's a bookdealer). Had to keep most of his books in a locked room.

32. This guy never gives anything away!
Doesn't actually like to sell his books either. The cat I mentioned died of old age and he has two newer ones with more sanitary habits.

33. I speak from years of experience...
Clorox 2 is the only thing that will make the smell go away forever- as in indetectable to the cat. Our lovely critters have a way of smelling it for years once they've done it and then going in the same spot repeatedly. If you don't want it to happen again, you have to get rid of the smell COMPLETELY.
