Cat wee...in the car!!!!!!!

voodoozoe

I have searched and been through mega index but cannot find the answer!!!! I accidentally, late at night, shut the cat in the car..it was dark and he's black:rolleyes: and knew nothing of it until the neighbour knocked us up to tell us the next morning.

I have now discovered he's done a wee on the back seat destroying our road map and imparting a very nasty smell of cat pee throughout!!!!

Have cleaned the area with stardrops and sprayed liberally with Febreze type stuff but it does not seem to be working so it may have penetrated quite deep.

Please can anyone suggest what to do??????????????:eek:

You could try a steam cleaner.

I read on here recently something to do with cat wee but can't find the exact thread.

One poster put a layer of bicarb of soda over the "affected area" and then left it for a while and then hoovered it off. This seemed to remove the smell. I know I've used bicarb to get rid of smells and it seems to work.

When we got ours from the cat's home they suggested cleaning up any wee-soaked areas with biological washing powder. I have to say though that ours did got through a phase of regularly weeing in the same place, and once the wee had soaked in it was very difficult to get rid of the smell. Leaving the windows open helped a lot though so if you can park the car somewhere safe maybe you could try this?

Yep - a solution of biological washing powder is by far the most effective. The enzymes in it attack the molecules that create the smell - everything else just covers the smell up.

I just use cheap supermarket value range bio crystals with some lukewarm water. Get the surface quite wet so it soaks in a bit, then repeat a few times. The smell should go after a few applications if you get it wet enough.

Poor little kitty, good job he didn't do a poo as well

Hope you manage to remove the smell. It should go in time with the treatments mentioned

I would get it valeted at the garage if it still stays

Not OS, but there is some stuff they sell by the pet food in tesco, and other pet shops. The brand is called Cascade (I think) and the spray bottle is clear with pink coloured liquid inside, with a label like 'Pet Antibacterial Spray' or something like that.

Anyway I have always found it pretty good at getting pet smells from accidents out. Good Luck!

Something called Simple Solution from Pets at Home or eBay is fab. It's a biological solution which breaks down the smell - as long as you use it liberally enough to soak deep down into the fabric (ie you will need to soak the seat through) it always works.

Hi
I had this problem when driving for the cat's protection league. I used something called ENZ that I got from the pet shop and it worked a treat. If there is an accident in the house I use Biological powcer and warm water, wet it well. I would try this first, but if like me because the car is aconfined space and particularly in this heat you may need a specialist product.

When our kitten had an accident I tried everything, but in the end resorted to injecting perfume into seat because however often we washed etc. the surface we just couldn't shift the smell. Well the perfume worked, but it's not a particularly cheap solution! You can still smell the perfume so don't use one you don't like.

Good luck!
