Phantom spot on floor that smells like cat pee after steam vacuuming?
Posted on : 06-08-2010 | By : cherexposed | In : steam vacuum reviews
We recently just rented one of those steam vacuum to clean all our carpets. In two of our rooms there are these spots that smell like cat pee that definitely weren’t there before. Now both of the rooms reek.
What can we do to make the smell go away? We’ve tried febreeze it doesn’t do much at all. We also put baking soda on the areas that smell then vacuumed it up later, that helped a little but not nearly enough.
Any help is appreciated!
Get some Nature’s Miracle from a pet store. It’s a natural odor neutralizer liquid that might have a smell for a few days, but then it goes away. Whatever you use, try placing a washable towel over the spot and place a heavy object on it to absorb the liquid.
It would be best to get a black light bulb, hold it over the spot in the dark, to make sure it is pet urine - it will glow or something.
Probably when you got the spot wet from steaming it, something old that was in the padding, came up through the carpet.
I’ve used cleansers that you would duse to clean and sanitize a diaper pail, it worked fine. Hopefully the problem is pee on the floor and not spray , ( from a male cat ) < on the wall.If it is spray on the Wall, cats spray about two feet up against their object of choice.use same cleanser.
