Help me get rid of horrendous cat-wee stink!

The conservatory floor in our new house is made of porous, unglazed terracotta tiles and REEKS of cat wee.

Is there any hope of getting rid of it, or should I just have the floor taken up RIGHT NOW!?

we had a stray come into yours and used bio washing powder to get rid of the smell. did work. I put some in a bowl of water and let it soak inot floor. HTH

i'll second the bio washing powder, thats what the vet told my mum to use last week.

I inherited a cat that peed everywhere when I first got him- I tried EVERYTHING- bicarb, lemon juice and washing powder. The washing powder did seem to work but the smell then came back (peed on waxed floorboards, the swine) when I started putting the heating on. It has calmed down a bit but hasn't gone completely and I am now really paranoid that I have a stinky house.

Good luck and let us know how you get on.
