    WOW That stuff is AWESOME! Is there anything it CAN'T do?

    My cat always goes to the toilet in the corner of our dining area, I'm constantly cleaning it but the area always smells of cat pee and it drives me insane. I've tried everything to get it off and just when I found a product to do it and ordered some online I stumbled across a site which told me how to get rid of the smell using natural stuff. Well, guess what they suggested to use?? VINEGAR!

    Skeptically, I mopped the area with a 1/3 vinegar 2/3 water solution and guess what?? IT NO LONGER SMELLS!!!!! I can't believe how simple the solution to the cat pee problem was!

    Now I've just wasted $35 on cat pee stuff

    yep vinegar is awesome - i use it especially when the tom cat goes on a spraying spree. it gives a neutral smell or something like that

    Yes CQ, apparenlty Apple Cider Vinegar is good for cat pee on carpet. Hang on i'll find the site.

    Home Remedy for cat urine smell.

    This is a great recipe for removing cat urine odor from carpet. Start by blotting up as much of the urine as possible with old rags or paper towels. Next mix 3 parts water with one part vinegar and saturate the spot.Dry thoroughly using the same method mentioned above. Once dry, sprinkle the area with Baking Soda. Next mix ¾ cup of 3% hydrogen peroxide solution with one tsp. dish detergent and sprinkle over the Baking Soda. Try this first on a small inconspicuous area of the carpet to make sure the hydrogen peroxide won’t discolor your carpet. Next, use your fingers or an old brush to work the Baking Soda in. I’ve used an old hairbrush with little bits of plastic over the tips with good results. Allow this to dry and vacuum it up. If there’s still a slight odor when done, lather, rinse and repeat.

    Remove cat urine odor from laundry.

    Use this method on your clothing, bedding, rugs or anything you think you can stuff in the washer (not including your cat). Simply add ¼ cup apple cider vinegar along with your normal laundry detergent, start the washer and VOILA!
