We cleaned our carpets this weekend, DH and I. With a hired carpet cleaner. We realised DD had pee'd one to many times on the front room floor, and thus cleaned all of them.
Since then I sprayed foam freshner to just give it a bit of something other than chemical smell. Then last night as DH put DD to bed he noticed her room smelled of pee. Odd he thought. She is potting trained, pretty much there, but we are not surprised if there is the odd accident. Deal with it in the morning he thought as DD was exhausted (was not on her bed so ok).
I went into her bedroom in the night and it was awful. It was clearly cat pee. As soon as I got up this morning I sprayed again with foam, and now it smells of freshner mixed with cat pee!!! I got down on my hands and knees to find it, and clearly located where it is.
I am furious. How can I get rid of it? Am I going to have to get a new carpet (it is old anyway), is there anything I can use? I had heard that soap and hot water can make it worse as it can react with the enzymes in the pee. Is this true?
Also, how can I stop the cats from peeing again, or elsewhere? They are fighting a lot right now, especially today, but have done for a while. I think this might be something to do with it, perhaps I took their smell away.
But I am worried I am going to just have a house that stinks of cat pee. Topped off with the fact that I currently have a sinus blockage means it must be really badly smelling if I can smell it.
HELP!!!
