Kitty Pee From Bunny Boots

[whinewine]

A very distraught woman came to me today and asked me if there is some way of eliminating cat urine from a pair of boots that were saturated with cat urine. The boots are microfiber, but the lining is non-removable rabbit fur. One boot is fine, but the other is really pretty wet. I think they are beyond help, but she really likes them, & since the stores are not selling winter boots, I said I'd try to see if there is an answer other than throwing them away.

Thanks for any help you can give (& please- I am really too busy making stuff for shows to read inane comments about 'get rid of the cat'- if you don't have an answer, please don't waste your time and my time. Thanks).)

You can try this - its worked for on other stuff - wash with lots and lots of soda water really lots !! Then allow to dry (must be dry before going to the next step) - the smell should be better but may still be there.

Cover with a thick layer of Bicarbonate of soda (if the material or leather is wet, the strong alkaline formed by the Bicarb will damage it) allow to stand for a day or two and then dust the bicarb off - hopefully all is well ??!!

Other than a bunch of washing, try some Nature's Miracle. It comes from the pet stores and costs about $10/quart. My wife uses it with the laundry and it gets the odor of pet urine out.

Nature's miracle would definitely be the best bet. She can purchase it at Petco or Petsmart. It is an enzyme that breaks down the urine and removes the smell. The sooner she can treat the boots with it the better. When they completely dry out it will be less likely to do the job. I would saturate them with it at full strength and let them dry.

That method would absolutely work, but wouldn't it be more fun to skin the damn cat that peed on the boots, and use the cat fur to line them????

wash in woollite.........if it works it works....if if dont then spray with FEBREZE.

okay this is going to sound funny but i was told of this product by a friend that worked at a vet. My carpet was soaked from my cat peeing on it for a month while my husband was in the hospital and my house sitters bought the wrong cat litter. but anyway. it is called Mr. Max's anti icky poo. the website is http://www.catfaeries.com The stuff does work but you do have to follow the intructions, I don't know what it would do to the boots but i say its worth a shot, since they are pretty much ruined, but it has to stay on there wet for a few days until the smell is gone. you have to keep reappling. keeping it wet is what helps the stuff to break down the urine. I keep the stuff in my house it works great on all kinds of stains, even blood.

The mr max's works better than natures miracle. it cost about $11 plus shipping for a pint, and around $19 for a quart

When my kitty gets upset by male challengers and sprays in the house, I spray the area down with plain white vinegar. It has always worked just fine and leaves no odor after it dries.
