A little precursor: we sold our house quickly + didn’t have anywhere lined up. We had a couple of places in mind but weren’t sure what would be open when we sold. SO we looked through our ideal location + they had one opening. It smelled clean, looked clean, only had 2 bedrooms, but we figured we’d only be here a year max, so quickly signed on the dotted line without looking back. 
THENNNN the clean smell wore off. My dad noticed it as we were moving in, he’s allergic. They came, replaced the carpet + since then, we’ve had it cleaned 3 times, once with black lights to see what is really going on. NOTHING! Ha! But as it is heating up outside, the smell is heating up inside, so we decided it’s time to take matters into our own hands! 
We did our Pet carpet cleaning homework + found that this HOOVER pet plus carpet cleaner is the best bang for your buck! AND sold in store!! (hashtag too impatient for shipping) as well as perfect for busy Mom’s? SOLD! I can do this! 
This really has become a family affair. OPERATION CAT STENCH ELIMINATOR.
Be sure to pick up the Detergent. It’s super simple to mix one side with water, half with solution. No mess, no fuss. 
We went through + tried to pinpoint the strong points. This corner where the light hits in particular. We saturated it + Jonah scrubbed like a crazy person to pull it to surface.
If I can drive this thing, you can drive this thing!
HASHTAG: yikes! 
So simple to access the dispose of the filth + clean it up though. I’m super stoked we won’t have to call the carpet cleaners (or Jon to come take care of it) every month. I was honestly shocked at how easy it was to maneuver. 
We soaked the carpets realllllll good before we left for Hawaii. I’ve got a good feeling about this, but we’ll cross our fingers in the mean time! xx

You may want to….
Pull up carpet and try ceiling the floor or concrete under the rug.
Use a ceilent floor and baseboards….when we finally did that the smell went away.
I guess the theory is that if the cat 🐈 has sprayed or peeed in an area even new carpet won’t help because it can resurface from within the concrete or flooring and repenatrate the rug so the smell continues.
Sorry to be the bearer of bad news!🤦♀️
Hope this helps.
We have both cats and dogs and the only way to really get rid of the smell is to pull up the carpet so you can cut out the pad that the urine is in. Then paint “Kilz” on the wooden or concrete floor. It seals the smell. Then put new pad down in the spot, regrow the old pad away. Put the carpet back in place.
No more smell ever!!=)
Throw away the old pad, not regrow it???😳😳Sorry!!😊❤️
