The other day the neighbor cat got inside my car while I was cleaning the interior and marked off "his" territory. The piss in question hit the lower back of the right front seat and fell to an old blanket on the floor. So the only possible remnant - if at all - would be on the webbing of the magzine holder on the back of the seat. How can I rid my classic of this oder?

Replacing your webbing may be the best option.

Contact Daryl at info@ozone.ca regarding ozone generators. I have two of these little machines, one at home and one in the boat. As with guns, ozone generators are safe if handled properly.


Good Luck,

Pet stores have products for this such as Nature's Miracle. Supposedly they work. I never had to try thankfully. They have a whole isle of the stuff.

yea, but they have been known to accelerate the deterioration of some interior plastics.




you can make an ozone generator macgyver style

You can remove the webbing from the seat and try to hand wash it. Might be the easiest thing to try first.

Thanks for all the replies. I think I'll try washing the removed webbing first. I just picked up some apple cider vinagar, which I've been told is good for removal of nasty odors.

When a cat sprays it's usually not contained to one spot. If he got inbetween the seat and console(hope not for your sake), not just the blanket, seat and webbing. You could be chasing this for awhile with home remedeys. Been there done that with the ACV, it works a little, but in a few days the underlaying odour is still there. Hydrogen peroxide works better than ACV but it bleaches (discolors) colored fabrics. You can try mixing the ACV and hydrogen peroxide to make Peracetic Acid. Peracetic Acid is a stronger oxidizer than bleach, so beware!

I'd be VERY hesitant to use an O3 generator for such a purpose. Ozone can damage certain plastics pretty easily. I wouldn't want to find out the hard way if the interior has such plastics.

Fixing the problem is easy:

1) Unscrew the radiator cap
2) Park a new car under it
3) Tighten the cap.

Sorry about that, I just had to.....

I'd try detaching the webbing and washing it by hand in the sink, assuming that's the only affected area. It probably isn't. There are products out there that will supposedly neutralize the odor, using an enzyme?

-tp

works best. I have 4 cats and that is the best thing for fresh urine. Also, cats do not like the scent of orange for some reason. You might try putting an orange air freshener in your car to avoid any other unwanted sprays. I have also had really good luck cleaning it with nothing more than warm water, a drop of washing-up liquid, and a few drops of either orange oil or lavender oil added - wipe down the seat back and squeezing the rope magazine rack between the almost dry rag several times. Lavender oil is not only a deodorizer but a natural disinfectant.

If the odor still persists, sprinkling baking soda and salt on the DRY carpet under the seat back, rub it in, and letting it sit for several hours/overnight and then vacuuming up will take care of any pee that may have dripped down or soaked through.

if not... i can bring my ozone generator down we can put it in a room w/ the webbing & what ever else stinks
I live right off of 675... 75 is like a 5 minute drive... west chester is 35... i'm heading down to MB of cinci for a horn repair on the 05 CDI, then off to west chester to have the front bumper & grill replaced on the same car! :: gasp :: mom keeps me busy
