How to clean cat pee from antique velvet?

Male cat scent/urine on my velvet victorian furniture. Need to know how to at least clean the velvet. Anybody know a good method?

 

Reupholster. NOTHING I ever tried got that smell out.

 

Hi,
THE ONLY thing that gets cat pee smell out is an ozone machine. They sell for between 50 and 70 dollars. Warning warning please be careful and not breathe in or around the ozone. It will give you terrible flu like symptoms.

Greg I started looking into ozone machines for old cat smells primarily in carpets. The online reviews I was reading weren't as promising as I'd hoped.

Some of the reviews on cat urine that has soaked into things didn't sound positive. Some said it could remove odor particles in the air but not that had soaked in. Have you had better luck?

 

Hi,
I had luck getting out OLD OLD OLD cat odors from carpets. Also on old furniture. The only time I had trouble was with new 100% polyesters. An older woman friend knitted me a winter scarf using new 100 polyester. My one cat hated that scarf and to prove it she urinated on it. I tried washing it with a good long soak, then I tried Natures Miracle. Still had an odor. Put in the ozone for 24 hours. Did not smell as bad but anytime it got wet it was awful. I had to trash the scarf. That was the only thing that the ozone did not work on. I bought an old car that STANK with old cigarette smells especially
when the heater was on. Took 48 hours but that car never smelled again as long as I had it. Now to be sure mine was a used commercial machine I can not say for sure if these newer cheaper models work as well but If you can contain them in a cardboard big box. it should work. The ones you use in a large area such as a room I can not say.

ammonia takes cat piss out

 

Ammonia is kind of like cat pee or even dog pee.....something I would NEVER use to eliminate pee odor....White vinegar would do a MUCH better job BY FAR than ammonia!!!!!!! TRUST ME.....but I still swear by soaking the spot or item with Natures Miracle......

 

we had peeing all over cats all my childhood , mom used ammonia to counteract the ammonia in cat urine ,like fighting fire with fire i used to say . try it can't hurt it already has cat urine in it , just try it in an inconspicuous spot as a tester (with a spray bottle ). you can even try half and half water. caution: do not mix ammonia with bleach or any bleach products and it will cause a poisonous Chlorine gas.

 

ammonia does stink coming out of the bottle , but it drys up and goes away taking the smell with it , i keep a bottle of it under the sink at all times .some people use vinegar to wash windows , but windex works better . so you will have to decide yourself , do some testing.

 

Thank you everyone. This has been quite helpful. I’m going to contact the museum the furniture was at previously and see if they have any suggestions as well.

 

Haha. Wasn’t even my cat. We were watching it for a friend. Didn’t scent things originally. It’s lucky I didn’t get my golf clubs out after seeing the couch

 

Then they didn’t know what they were doing. They didn’t wait long enough and/or didn’t enclose the item and/or it was a sh....crappy machine.
Ozone kills organic things.
This is why they are dangerous.
There shouldn’t be any smell at all if all is done correctly.

 

Yeah but try getting them to drink it.

Yeah, I know folks....

Give them the cat.

 

Try cheap vodka. Drench the area and then let it evaporate.

 

Did anyone figure this out? I have an old Victorian velvet couch that smell of cat urine. I removed the cushion cover and soaked the velvet coversin water/vinegar/ and mild detergent over night. I’d like to soak them again with some enzyme solution or something cause although they smell better, it’s still kind of there.

 

Talk to a car detailer and ask what they would use. My cat peed in the car, I took my car into a detailer and the smell was gone

 

Fullers Earth cat litter will help massively. Let them dry RIGHT out and stick them in a bag of it.

I've bought enzyme stuff over here, the RSPCA do it, but I don't know the equivalent.

 

Hi,
Nature's Miracle is a wonderful product for cat pee. The new little girl had no idea what a litter box was. Of course she used the 30 thousand oriental rug not the 300 dollar one. Poured the stuff on and when it dried vacuumed it right up no smell then or now.
