In that case there is no way to fix the visible damage. Getting the odor out is difficult. It can take years for the odor to finally dissipate. You can use a service or rent a cleaner in a rental place and most supermarkets. I have a Hoover 'steam cleaner'. (Really just hot water.) Works as well as the rental units or the cleaning services. -- Dan Espen |

A stain can be removed with enzyme cleaners and most of the odor can be eliminated, but not all, even with professional cleaning. Chances are the urine soaked to the wood floor under the carpet and padding. That will always be detectable by the an animal and chances are, they will urinate again in that area. If that's sufficient, then use a simple urine eliminating carpet cleaner and be done...um, that is, until the pet does it again. Otherwise, I suggest removing the carpet and redo the hardwood floors, if they exist or install hardwood floors, if they don't. Carpets are known to harbor germs and bacteria, with pets, even more. I couldn't fathom lying on a carpet floor knowing what lies beneath. |

If you insist on keeping Fifi, remove your installed carpeting and use throw rugs.Â* Throw rugs can be taken outside and thoroughly cleaned with a pressure washer. |
