Eeeek!!! Cat Pee Smell>>> No Cat!!!

The only thing that really gets rid of the cat pee is Nature's Miracle. I got it at Pet Smart. Its an enzyme cleaner that actually destroys the pee. I don't have experience with it on laminate or cement, but I just saturate the carpet or furniture with it and over time it dries and eats away the odor.

Cat pee smell is the worst. I did a Google search to see if my ideas were in par with what the Internet world was saying - they are - so here's the link to that info. (Link: http://www.getridofthings.com/get-rid-of-cat-urine.htm)

We had to do that when we ripped up the carpet to lay new carpet down. Our installers used a prouct called KILZ and it really covered the smell. (from two dogs that had problems) You could really see where the stains were on the subfloor. We werent prepared to new subfloor down or we would have. I heard it works on mold also.

It is amazing! Google "zero odor reviews" to find and read reviews!
The reviews I read say it works great for pee and litter box smells. I do not have a cat. However, it has worked on EVERYTHING I have tried it on. And the best thing is that it smells like nothing! It just eliminates the odor.

Recently my apt flooded, and it is a basement apt with a concrete floor under the carpet. The professional flood expert came out to help me get all the water out, and I learned a little about concrete floors. He taught me that concrete is actually quite porous, and absorbs moisture well, that is why it is used for foundations. It absorbs excess moisture and wicks it to underneath the house into the earth. I was concerned because I felt that we didn't get as much water up with the vac than what had flooded, even though the walls, carpet and pad were dry. He said that it had already been absorbed by the foundation, and only time and gravity would wick it down the rest of the way. He said that it would wick down faster than it would have time to mold or mildew.
Anyway, I am just sharing this to show how the cat pee could be trapped in the concrete. The moisture from the pee could be gone, but the hormones or whatever that makes the pee stink smell so bad could be trapped under the surface.(this is just my guess) I am so sorry you have to go through this, cat pee is the worst. I personally would call a flooring/cleaning expert at this point to get some tips/advice. Good Luck!

kilz paint if you can and if you can use a black light you should be able to see were the pee is at. good luck

Try a pet odor neutralizer--you can find them at PetCo, PetSmart, Fred Meyer, anywhere really, but they are specific for pet odors. Some work better than others, but the method for all of them is the same. You may have to treat it multiple times. It works on concrete too. You may ultimately have to rip out the laminate though, because the smell may be trapped inside/underneath.

Hi, Liz. You said you used an odor neutralizer, but which one? Some work better than others. I know--I had the same thing happen with my first house. They must have had the basement windows open until just before the showing, because it reeked when we came back to move in. Very depressing! Two things together worked for me: 1. Nature’s Miracle applied about 20 times and 2. running an air ionizer full time for about a year. We had access to a very good Alpine Air ionizer on extended loan. We tried an Ionic Breeze and it didn’t do anything. The air ionizer really helped, but they are pricey ($300 or more) plus there is some data out there that they might be irritating for people who have asthma. However, we never had any problems and it really helped with the cat odor. It immediately helped make it less noticeable when it was running, and after a year the odor was more or less gone. Also, you’ll probably have to pull up the laminate and replace the subflooring and laminate if the cat really soaked that area. My floor was bare concrete, so I could really make sure that the enzymes soaked the whole area, which you can't if you have laminate down. Good luck. I know how frustrating it feels!

You may have to replace the laminate floor and possibly the sub flooring. The other thing - are you cleaning the walls? The cats may have sprayed on the wall.

When we moved into our new house, our two cats decided that the whole basement was a cat box. I now swear by Anti Icky Poo! I buy it at amazon.com - I haven't found it for sale anywhere locally. It is filled with nice friendly bacteria that eat up all the ammonia that gives the cat pee its bad scent. You can even get a special injector to inject it into carpet (which we did). It pretty much completely eliminates the odor. Just use generously!

I had this same problem with the house I live in. When I moved in the previous owner had a bunch of cats and I found out they were kept in the laundry area. I cleaned it a million times with every kind of cleaner out there and the smell kept coming back. We ended up having to tear up the laminate flooring and underneath there was cat urine soaked into the sub-floor, which is why the smell kept coming back. We ended up having to tear up the sub flooring and replace that and the laminate floor but, the smell
FINALLY went away. I am sure that prob wasn't the answer you were hoping for but, if you try tons of cleaners and it keeps coming back you might want to check and see if there is any place that it has sept through.....
