Finally located the source of pet piss smell at my parents…1’x2’ spot of dried urine behind the TV. Cleaned it several times last week with various carpet cleaners, turned an entire roll of paper towels yellow when drying it. Unreal. Still smells. What’s the right way to do this? ---

They have those Rug Doctor units you can rent at Price Chopper. I rented one for a day and it really cleaned the carpet quite well in the Schenectady shit hole I lived in. ---

What’s UNDER the carpet will determine what you need to do. Most often to get that cat piss smell out permanently w/o replacing the carpet you have to lift and clean from the underside ---

Place some antifreeze in a petri dish and leave it out near the stain. Problem solved ---

any of the stain and odor removers from petsmart have always worked well for me, i normally just spray the spot until it starts to foam up over the covered area. let sit for an hour, then place a wash cloth over the spot, let sit for another hour, then press hard and dab the spot until clean. never had a problem yet ---

Honestly, replace the carpet and the padding underneath it. You will never get that smell completely out. My dog pissed in a room with hardwood floors (no carpet) and i’m going to have to try sanding it down and re-poly it to see if that does the trick. ---

Then anytime an accident would occur the only way to get it clean was to clean it right away otherwise your screwed when it sets in!!:banghead ---

You will never get that smell completely out. My dog pissed in a room with hardwood floors (no carpet) and i’m going to have to try sanding it down and re-poly it to see if that does the trick. This. If it soaked into the plywood subfloor under the carpet sealing it with a primer sealer helps also.
