Post by j***@lycos.comI've always heard of the tomato juice with skunk odors but how about
getting cat urine smell out of clothing? Our cat accidentally got
into a closet and decided to go all over our son's back pack. Anyone
know of great ways of getting this smell out? TIA :-)
Look for a granule called Odorz Out. I can't remember if I bought it
at Petco or Petsmart, but it comes in a large canister. I would put
the backpack in a plastic bag with a bunch of the powder and give it a
day or two to absorb the odor.
I first bought this at a cat show from a vendor there. I had
discovered the day before the show that a rat had set up house in my
shed, and the rat had peed on my tripod. So, the urine smell was in
the head of the tripod, right where my camera attaches. Everytime I
took photos, my nose was right by the urine smell. I even tried
washing it with lysol and bleach. No improvement. I put a spoonful of
the powder into a kleenex and stuffed it into the gap under my camera.
By the next day, the smell was completely gone. Never smelled it
again.
I haven't had the need to use it very often, but it has worked each
time.
If you can't find it, you can try borax. It also absorbs smells, but
not quite as well as the Odorz Out.
