A cat sprayed one of the truck seats and OMG does it ever smell just awful. Anybody have this happen? What did you use to clean it away?

I'd sure appreciate help on this one please!

    We used this at the Vet Clinic
    1 qt peroxide
    1/4 cup Baking soda
    1 tsp dish soap.

    Works great on 'skunked' dogs. I've used it on cat spray, too. Just have to be careful with it.

    Also, bought the stuff from the pet store. Howie marked the entire skirt of the sofa. It worked like a charm and didn't damage the fabric or color.

    See if you can beg or borrow
    See if you can beg or borrow a Hoover Steamvac or the like. Then use the pet odors liquid cleaner for the steamvac. Next use the upholstry attachment and spray liberally and then vacuum up the liquid with the steamvac. Voila, odor gone!

    I have had my Hoover for about 7 years now and I don't know what I ever did without it. If you have pets, you will love it as, if they throw up or "whatever" on your rug or carpet, this sucker takes care of it. And I am in no way related to the Hoover Co nor do I get reimbursed ;-).

    P.S. They have come down in price too. The model that I have now runs about $139 at amazon.com.

    My cat sprayed on my couch & I was worried I would have it throw it out, then I was told about this product. It works wonders! I also use it for cleaning/laundry whenever there is any smell involved. Walmart use to sell it, then stopped for some reason, so now I get it at Home Depot.

    Hi
    Hi there. Why don't you try going to Amazon.com and type in odor removers.. they have a bunch of stuff, some specifically for cat or dog odors and people review things which is nice, you can find out what works and what doesn't based on the reviews... Good luck!
