4980. iiibbb - 9/7/2013 4:35:22 PM Don't tell Rug Doctor agent your plans or that you did this... they say only their fluid is approved and don't use other household cleaners.
However, vinegar is benign, so I'm not worried, and since I finished with their fluid all of the suds and whatnot were thoroughly gone by the time I was done. 4981. iiibbb - 9/7/2013 4:36:50 PM This method is an amalgam of the plethora of inconclusive stories on the internet for removing cat urine odor from carpet. 4982. iiibbb - 9/7/2013 4:37:33 PM Can't say it will work on long-term problem. 4983. iiibbb - 9/7/2013 4:38:14 PM I'd go for the millennial, but I would rather people read my cat cleanup adventure. 4984. judithathome - 9/7/2013 7:06:50 PM Excellent advice! How long before the baby gates are no longer needed? ;-) 4985. iiibbb - 9/7/2013 7:21:42 PM I was not sure it would work.
The general consensus in most places is that you can't get the smell out. Those who say that had were very vague about what they did.
Might get away without a step or product, but above is _exactly_ what I did. 4986. arkymalarky - 9/7/2013 7:35:29 PM if I had it to do over again I would not put a spec of carpet in my house. Mose is very lucky that she and sil have a rent house that has 0 carpet, since they have 3 dogs. Their house is all tile and it looks great. 4987. iiibbb - 9/7/2013 7:40:12 PM Rugs are better than carpet for sure.
If I had any control over it we wouldn't have a cat, and it wouldn't have ever been upstairs. 4988. judithathome - 9/7/2013 8:01:21 PM We have two cats and no carpet...just oriental rugs in 4 rooms.
Well, I take that back...we have indoor/outdoor carpet in the garden room but Keoni wants to have it ripped out. I'm leaning toward that myself. Get some nice faux slate vinyl and then get a small oriental rug for the main section.
Back to the cats...thus far, not pee problems, just the occasional regurgitation when one eats too quickly. 4989. judithathome - 9/7/2013 8:05:18 PM And with 2 cats, and me being as OC with them as I am, the litter boxes are scooped out each time they use them...I collect the clumps in a heavy duty ziplock bag each time and we have ZERO cat smell in our house.
People come to visit and suddenly, a cat will stroll by and they are amazed we even HAVE cats...one person even blurted out "I can't believe you have cats...I didn't smell them!" and I just said "You won't."
4990. iiibbb - 9/7/2013 8:07:04 PM We had a robot scooper that did a great job... but when it broke the second time I didn't feel like getting it fixed again. 4991. judithathome - 9/7/2013 8:09:14 PM Well, sometimes I fell like a robot scooper! 4992. judithathome - 9/7/2013 8:09:41 PM Well, sometimes I fell like a robot scooper! 4993. judithathome - 9/7/2013 8:10:05 PM Arrgh...I did not do that on purpose! 4994. judithathome - 9/7/2013 8:14:02 PM But I might... 4995. judithathome - 9/7/2013 8:14:14 PM do 4996. judithathome - 9/7/2013 8:14:24 PM this 4997. judithathome - 9/7/2013 8:14:39 PM on 4998. judithathome - 9/7/2013 8:14:50 PM purpose 4999. judithathome - 9/7/2013 8:15:00 PM If I
