How can I remove the smell of cat urine from my carpet?

drjeff.com - FAQ - Century Veterinary Group
Cat urine should be cleaned from a carpet with a special enzyme cleaner that you might have to purchase at a janitorial supply shop if you can't find it elsewhere. Ask your veterinarian. Many keep it on hand for clients to use at home. Because urine usually soaks through to the padding, you might have to consider rolling back the carpet and cutting out and replacing a patch of the padding to do a really good job.

Why does urine smell?

Hydra Mist Carpet Cleaning - Carpet Care
Fresh urine does not actually have an unpleasant odor, but the ammoniacal odor of stale (old) urine is due to bacterial decomposition of the urea in the urine, as well as the bacterial excrement itself. Nature's bacteria will continue to feed as long as there is a food source, and moisture. That is why the ammonia odor becomes stronger on humid days, or soon after a carpet has been wet cleaned.

The smell comes from biological growth on books that are stored in damp, dark, cool locations. Check for active or dormant mold. Remove the materials to a drier (but still cool) environment, and make sure that plenty of air is circulating around them. These conditions should render the biological growth dormant. If the mildewed materials are stored for an extended period under such conditions, the smell will eventually disappear of its own accord.

How can I rid my cat of fleas?

Frequently Asked Questions
We are recommending that our cat owners use one of the topical flea preventatives: Advantage or Frontline, also known as TopSpot. Advantage kills fleas within 24 hours and continues to work for 4 weeks. (*The canine product, Advantix, is very toxic to cats.) Frontline for Cats kills ticks and fleas and is often used on the indoor-outdoor kitties. Both products are topical liquids, which are very safe and available from your Veterinarian.

If moisture remains in any material in the basement -- contents such as cardboard boxes, wall studs, concrete, etc. -- then mold will continue to grow and produce the volatile organics comprising 'mold odor'. If, in addition to the flood, moisture is entering slowly through the foundation or floor, then the condition will be chronic unless you stop it, say, by sealing the concrete. And you can't go wrong with a dehumidifier.
