Many thanks for all your suggestions :-*- the bicarb seems to be doing the trick - although I'm sure I can still detect a faint whiff, so I will keep all your suggestions to hand. I have been thinking of buying a steam cleaner - can any of you recommend one please?if i had known then what i know now0

A lot of the time these whiffs seem to stay in your nose. I remember when my cat had broght a mouse in the house unknown to me and it had died behind some furniture. I didn't know about it until I noticed the smell. Sorted it out but could still 'smell' it weeks later. I mad eeveryone who came to the house sniff around the area where it had been and nobody could smell anything but I stll thought that I could! :-/0

With me it was a rotting vole so I know what you mean.
Luv my brass - My steam cleaner does not remove the smell of cat pee it just infuses it around the whole house.
Sometimes if you completley remove the smell of the cat pee you encourage the offending critter to pee there again. Especially if it is a Tom marking his territory. To stop this put a plastic bag over the area to keep him/her off. They then usually go and 'do it' in the other corner! ???Life's a beach! Take your shoes off and feel the sand between your toes.0 -
Oh this thread has just brought back memories of the smell of that decomposing mouse under the sofa......
Cats, don't you just love them!
I read somewhere that a mixture of bicarb of soda and lemon juice is very good for removing odours.0 -

I paid over £300 for it so it better be powerful lol
Its marvellous for the kitchen etc but then again I cant be bothered getting it out these days.I didnt find it any good for the carpets maybe i was doing it wrong.!!0 -
Interesting one this is....
My kitty has taken to using under the stair case to use for a toilet,
so I have bought her another litter tray - which is under the stair case, and she is using that one a lot. I keep them really clean, and change the litter frequently, so its not like she wants somewhere cleaner.
My problem is - she pee'd on two of our holdall's which were being stored under the stairs, and now smell quite bad! :eek: Im interested to find out how to clean them and get rid of the smell, and how to make sure the carpet doesnt smell either!
Any suggestions?

I'd use some detergent like washing up liquid and some vinegar. Cats hate vinegar. It should deter her from doing it again if she smells vinegar. Whatever you do don't use bleach as cats love bleach. Apparently it relaxes them Whenever I clean my floor I put bleach in the water and one of my cats in particular loves rolling on the wet floor! Have to banish her outside now!
