Had my cat in a soft carrier bag for a trip to the vet. He pee'd in the carrier and it soaked through onto the cloth rear seat of my '14 Fusion.

It happened last week and I sprayed PineSol liberally for a couple of days and left the windows open to air out. The smell was masked for a while but now it's back, and it's unpleasant to say the least.

Any tips or chemicals I should be using?

At least it wasn't my Mustang, but it's still gotta go.

Thanks.

Can you remove the seat bottom like in a mustang and tackle it outside the car?


After that put the cat back in the carrier and throw it in a lake.

But it's a really good carrier!!!!

No, haven't tried removing the seat....was hoping there was some magic dust that might work. The Pine Sol at strength makes my car smells like an ebola ward.

Nature's Miracle works really well. You can find it on Amazon or pet stores. Not sure if it will stain your seats though.

Thanks....I'll head to the pet store tomorrow before the storm. If it stains, so be it. I want the odor gone. Besides, it's a lease.

+1 on Nature's Miracle. Saturate the fabric completely.

Bed Bath & Beyond has something called Oder B Gone or something along those lines. It works well. You just need something with enzymes.

How about shampooing the seat? or 'Bomb'-ing the car? You know, one of those odor-gone cans you set off windows closed turn on the vents till the can is done? Some local detail supply shops carry these. Yelp it.

Had that happen to a Isuzu rodeo. Every time it got hot out the interior stunk bad. Sold it after trying months and months. Thought it was gone when it was cooler out until it got hot out. Hope you have better luck. Once it gets into the foam ehhh yuck.

typesredline

Agreed. It is indeed near impossible to get it out of foam. Good thing it's a lease. Mask the heck out of it and trade it in.

when urine dries it crystalizes so if it's ever damp or humid the crystals absorb & open to release all that yum, so it's acid then turns alkaline so you need to nut raise it before you can flush it our.

TripleBlack14

Is that what Odor Be Gone or Nature's Miracle do?

GottaHaveIt

no idea what those even are but if you take a piece of litmus paper to check the pH you can get it Nuttal , I'd remove the seat and if the cover is anything like a mustang & you
can roll off then I'd dump a bottle of vinegar over the foam let it sit a good while then hose it out then stick In the sun or front of a good air mover

GottaHaveIt

urine will phosfer as well so if you have a high intensity or a regular black light it will reveal itself in the dark.

The honey sayz natures miracle also. Its an enzyme that eats da p.

GottaHaveIt

had a guy thought his cat peed on his carpet , we took a moisture detector & it was everywhere , so we came back at night with a high intensity black light & the whole room glowed car pet was toast there was more in the underpad , the cat had kidney problem he picked it up took to the very & put it down.

Take the seat out. Strip the seat cover off. It should be pretty easy to remove the cover. The cover should clean easy. Spray the foam down and hose it off real good. Should dry just hanging after a few days. That foam is gonna be the hardest thing to get clean. Soak and squeeze it out a few times.
