I'll try this if it ever happens again!

Hope to God it doesn't.

Ozone Generators get the stink out-you need to clean the area thoroughly first, then blast ozone (shock treat) the area for a few hours. This stuff gets into the carpet fibers and destroys the odors. There's nothing else that can destroy the odor molecules other than ozone, if you're serious about getting the smell out.

We manufacture them in upstate NY. YOu can click on the blue link below to find out more (it'll bring you to our youtube channel)

@nocommentbob I just phoned my vet and they reccommend Biological washing powder in warm water will do, once mixed with warm water simply put onto seeped in patch and scrub for a few minutes, then the enzymes in the powder will destroy the urine for good, I just tried it on the little patch in the carpet and it is drying now, it smells really nice in here now, so it looks like it worked, Hope this helps! xx

Hi, I am in the UK and never seen Corn Starch, do you mean Corn Flour? x

[chqflyer]

To truly get urine out you need to saturate the arrected area with an enzyme based cleaner...let it sit for about 10 minutes and suck it out of the carpet. A professional cleaner can do this but you "could" get simular results using a shop vac. If you must sprinkle something on it...baking soada is the way to go. let it dry then vacuum it up. It should still be flushed out though.

What about human urine? (long story)

[nocommentbob]

@chqflyer what do you recommend for cat urine that seeped in?

[chqflyer]

This type of removal process is only good in a pinch. Most of the time corn starch will clot and become embedded in the carpet. Thsi also doesn't do very much for any cat urine that has seeped down below the carpet fiber into the padding. This trick will however work (most of the time) in a pinch.

I'm sorry. This did not work for me. I tried it and it got stuck in my carpet. I had to use a butter knife to get it up and I fought with it.
