I have a vehicle that is putting up a fight with cat smell that won't go away. We vacuumed all the hair out and extracted the carpets, Smell won't go away. Amy ideas?? Feed back please
 
Whenever I encounter an animal or organic mess I always use an enzyme cleaner. The enzymes digest and remove any orgainic matter while at the same time truely deodorizes vs covering up. For pet accidents I drench the area and for pet deodorizing and cleaning use as a normal APC or carpet cleaner. You want to use the enzyme cleaner first before any chemicals so you dont reduce its effectiveness.

The one I use is Natures miracle Advanced. I buy it by the gallons in pet stores.


So2 pure works well for unpleasant scents in general but with animals in the picture I prefer deep cleaning to remove the scent and then use So2 pure to remove any lingering traces.

Do you use this with an extractor or just spray the entire interior?

Use as a regular cleaner, spray, agitate, and towel up the dirt/excess or extract with plain water. After agitation I like to respray the area and let it sit for 30 min before extracting. In my mind, i like to think the extra dwell time allows the enzymes to fully digest everything. For pet urine I spray the area every hour or so while working on the exterior to give it longer dwell time before I tackle the interior.

Guess I will through out the other idea, Long drive short high cliff, or the "its a 458 Italia pre-heat shield fix that somehow caught fire".:joking:

The above may have given away the fact that I REALLY hate smells in cars. :nomore:

The smell your trying to get rid of is cat piss

What your going to have to do is put your nose to the interior and find the sweet spot. After you've done that, clean the area with an emzyene cleaning solution (as mentioned earlier) and leave an ozone machine running for a few hours on the rear floorboard

You can rent an ozone machine. I would pass that cost along to your customer plus a little extra for your time

No one's going to buy a car that smells like cat urine and he/she knows that. They probaly got the car at a discount because of this issue


BTW My names not Roger. It's Philbert K. Wormley III ;)

Okay, Thanks!
 
a good solution is also Natures Miracle in the pet section of most all grocery stores. It works great for pet messes and smells.
Used it before my kittens became litter trained and we never had a urine stain or odor problem
 
I had this same problem with a girl I dated one time.

Seriously, I left some frozen shark meat in a zip lock bag in the back seat of my mustang. I had to replace the foam and steam clean the upholstery on the backseat like crazy.
