Semi-gross pet related question
Basically, our two lovely cats have p!ssed all over our front bedroom. We figured - our house is already destroyed, might as well add another project and get new carpet. We pulled the base out of the bedroom last night and have started to pull up the carpet but...I am worried pulling the base and carpet out of the bedroom won't make the smell go away. Is it possible it has stained the concrete and if so, what do we do? Can we spray something on the concrete? Or use some sort of scrub?
Re: Semi-gross pet related question
Yup, Nature's Miracle or you can spray the area with bleach and let it dry naturally. We had the same problem in the "cat room" last summer. The problem wasn't noticeable until the house flooded in June and the mildewed carpet PLUS the cat pee...well, it was toxic, to say the least! We ripped out everything and sprayed it down with bleach several times. I actually did scrub with the bleach a little (gloves on, of course) with a hard bristle floor brush and the foam that came up was yellow. Ew.
We put down laminate and they've not peed in there again. I say they, I'm pretty sure it was just Extra!
Whew - I am glad I am not the only one with this problem! I think it is my boy cat that is doing it but I am not sure. He is so naughty. We will buy some Nature's Miracle and try it out.
Thanks everyone!
Oh no, you most definitely aren't. We have a dog pee problem in the "dining room" of our house (has the pool table the previous owners left). We're treating with Nature's Miracle right now but unfortunately, it's not helping much. We plan to rip up that carpet and lay laminate in there, as well. It was already in our plan for some point so we might as well get it going.
Dog pee is easier than cat pee, though, I believe. Still smells bad.
