Removing Cat Urine From Carpet 

Finding Cat urine on your carpet is not a pleasant thing. But, it doesn't need to mean the end for the carpet, or your cat!

With todays modern cleaners you can absolutely clean all traces of pet urine from your carpet.

Removing Cat urine From Carpet

  Cat urine on your carpet can be a nasty business indeed. The problem is that only a fraction of the urine is accessible on top of the carpet for you to clean.

Most of the urine gets soaked into the pad of the carpet. Frequently the only way to get rid of the smell is to remove the carpet... Costly and cumbersome.

One ounce of urine can spread out to a six inch area with only a one to 2 inch visible spot on the rug.
It is an absolute must to remove ALL traces of urine, not only for the odor but any trace of urine can make your cat resoil the same area.

That is an instinct millions of years old. Can't retrain the cat about that... we just have to make sure that the cat with their acute sense of smell can not sense any trace of urine.

Using a Black-Light, which is an UV light, will help you find
all urine spots on your carpets, wall, draperies...

 It is not expensive and will make your detective work very easy for finding and removing cat urine from carpet.

So, you've got a wet urine spot, what to do first?

The absolute first step is to mop up as much of the
urine as you can.
Then, we absolutely recommend  Anti Icky Poo.
While there are a few other effective enzymatic
cleaners on the market, Anti Icky Poo is the
choice when urine has soaked into either carpet
or furniture.

Anti Icky Poo not only eliminates the odor from your carpet it can also be injected into the carpet pad to eliminate all traces of urine.  Getting the odor out of the pad is the most difficult step. With Anti Icky Poo you inject the product into the carpet and pad, and it does it's thing. No rinsing needed.   It really is like magic.

Determine the extent of the area that needs to be treated and mark it with tape.

The size can vary somewhat and puddles can overlap, (get that blacklight- it'll help immensely) also, when there has been repeated urination on the same spot the urine tends to spread more.
Then, with the injector, inject the Anti Icky Poo every 4-6 inches.  When you are completed, spray the entire surface and then walk across the area to spread the product into the padding.
That's it.    No rinsing. No mess. No lifting the carpet.  And,,, no more odor!

Home made cleaner
  Have no Anti Icky Poo at home?  Well, we'd recommend that you do get some.  In the meantime to start the cleaning process you can use some white vinegar mixed with water.

Use one part white wine distilled vinegar to two parts wam water and make a spray. Spray onto the soiled areas and rub it in, then blot with clean towels/papertowels.  While this method IS usable, it does not eliminate all traces of urine, making the risk for re-soiling great.
