I've tried everything to get rid of old cat urine smell in our carpet. Will this help or is it too late since I've already tried other ways?

I just read Mary & John's comments - should have read them prior to writing mine! I did soak and cover some areas and it may have made the rest of my procedure move along faster. Peeling the carpet back was not an option in may case - makes sense: would have taken way less time to clean from both sides and could have dried completely. I cleaned my son's large area rug that way using my process...took it outside on the patio on a hot, sunny day and was able to really scrub both sides. After extracting as much water as I could, I layed it across some saw-horses and it dried really fast. Hope this helps!

I forgot to mention - if there has been repeated urination/heavy volume in this area, it would be a good idea to inspect under the padding as well, in case it has soaked through. You may have to treat the wood floor underneath.

It might work - Nature's Miracle is an enzyme that destroys cat urine - since your stain has dried, you will have to soak the carpet, padding and anything else that may have urine in it - you may have to soak it, let it sit a day or two (maybe cover with plastic) and then soak again and again. Certainly worth a try. PS. From my experience, Nature's Miracle doesn't spot - I've used it on furniture and rugs. Good Luck!!

It will probably help. The thing you're probably overlooking is the "depth" of the smell. The urine probably soaked through the carpet and into the padding. You'll need to pull the carpet back from the nearest edge and roll it back over itself. You'll probably see the old stain on the back side. Treat the padding (or replace it) and the back side of the carpet. Nature's Miracle is very effective because it destroys the source of the odor, it doesn't just mask it.

I can't say for certain. What I would recommend is putting it as close to that area as possible. Also, make sure you treat that area with some kind of odor remover specifically made for cat urine. If you don't get the urine removed - they will continue to go back to that spot.

It worked for me with tile and I had used numerous other products. This is the only one that got rid of the smell for good. I haven't tried it on carpet, but it's worth a try.

This works great with ANY odor - I had an elderly cat that was having accidents and NOTHING would get rid of the urine smell. A friend recommended Nok-Out and I wouldn't be without it for ANY type of odor - Doesn't really leave a smell, just gets rid of the smell.....

Yes it does...they now make one that is labeled specifically for cats...but originally they only had one that worked for everything. I don't know if they changed the formula or just slapped a new label on it. You have to make sure that you fully saturate the area and let it completely dry before it will get rid of the odor...this can take days if it's in the carpet. It's best to keep the pet away from the area until it's completely dry and putting a fan on it helps speed up the process. Hope this helps!

Yes, it could possibly help, if your cats respond the way my cats have. When they get too rambunctious with one another I spray some Nature's Miracle on a cloth (or an old sock) and make sure each of the smells it. Then I lay the cloth in the vicinity they are in. If I keep a cloth (refreshing it with the spray a few times a day) in the general are during the day it helps immensely. But you have to keep it up, or they will go back to their old habits. Don't expect one spray per day to do the trick. It has made my life so much easier, and has calmed my cats down.

It certainly should work. It worked for me after I found cat stains that were older than one week, and if you know anything about cat urine, it is much stronger than accident from a dog. Good luck!

It did a super job on old cat urine, so maybe. There is also a skunk off product we use to use since our dogs got sprayed every year right before prom - which my mom was in charge of. Good luck.

I haven't tried that but it sounds like a good idea. It's been awhile since I've needed the product but as I recall, step one is to soak up and remove as much urine as possible, then use the Urine Off to neutralize and leavings. So, if you're carpet isn't drenched already, that might be a good idea. I do know that if you have an area rug, oriental carpet for example, you want to roll it up and clean the hard floor underneath and then clean the carpet.

Stink Free is the best stuff ever! I had a huge cat urine area that I thought would cause me to need carpet replaced. I used a whole bottle on the area and it completely removed the odor! I highly recommend this product!!

No. In fact, it doesn't work at all. Save your money for another product. The only thing I've found that suppresses cat urine odor is enzyme based "Dymon Liquid Alive", which comes in a gallon bottle for around $35. Diluted, it will still completely eliminate odor until it dries and the enzymes stop working. The enzymes are also supposed to consume the physical urine residue, which "should" completely eliminate the odor. That didn't happen in my case - possibly because the urine was so thoroughly impregnated in my carpet before I found the product. However, it did significantly reduce, but did not eliminate, the ambient odor over time. When inviting guests over, an application of Alive kept my unsuspecting visitors unaware of my cat urine odor problem. With respect to plaster and furniture... Active Alive might work, but an inconspicuous test application would be prudent. Don't waste your money on Fizzion. Best of luck in eliminating your problem.

Yes, I have noticed the odor to be stronger while I am cleaning the carpet and that it goes away shortly after. That made me think that the urine is possibly so saturated into the carpet/backing/padding that I takes more than one shot to take care of it. I try to run my carpet cleaner over the area with a 50% vinegar 50% H2O a day or so after I cleaned with the Nature's Miracle. I think this helps since my 4 legged friends don't seem to "re-use" the areas that I have done that process with. My husband likes to do things really fast, so doesn't spend as much time going over the spots to suck up the solution. They always go back to the spots that he cleaned.

I would suggest on the old pet stains to pour a generous amount out of the bottle and then with an absorbent rag, rub the areas really vigorously until you can't get any more liquid out of the carpet. Then I would suggest using a rug cleaning machine, put some of the product in the water/soap reservoir to clean the entire carpet. Hope it works for you like it did me. Results may vary due to age of stains and make of carpet.

We have had good luck eliminating urine smells from elderly dog accidents. spray let sit a few minutes then wipe. Hope this helps!

I only treated the wall to wall carpet where my senior cat had urine problems making it to the cat box. This product was applied topically, spray for lightly soiled areas and poured directly on heavily soiled areas. All urine smell was completely gone. I also used the product in the carpet cleaning vacuum as a final cleansing.

I do not have any facts about the preferred time use of this product, but I can speak to my own experience. Of course it is always better if you can treat the urine spot immediately, but that is not always possible. I have used this product on carpeting that has been cleaned numerous times, and it has removed the urine odor. It is important when treating an area that you get to the lowest source of the odor. In other words, you must get the Zero Odor clear down into the pad if the urine soaked into the pad--otherwise the odor will remain. I also have a wool area rug (oriental) that has been cleaned. I have found that I have to treat both sides of the rug to completely remove the odor. Also, wool seems to retain odors more than other fabrics, so it may require treating more than once. I have tried many products that profess to remove the urine odor, but in my opinion this product does the best job. Good luck. If you decide to try it, I hope it works for you. Sue J.

Well I feel stupid because I never noticed the two different versions of this. I have been buying the pet urine one but will definitely get the cat one next time to see it if works better. My best guess (and this is from experience with both dog and cat pee) cat urine stinks up the house a lot worse than dog urine so possibly the cat urine product would be stronger and more effective on cat odors.
