Hello,

one of my cats peed on the inside of my leather coat. I am prettu sure it's just the lining that stinks. is there anyway I can get rid of it?

I have tried that stuff they sell at walmart. Pet odor remover doesn't work. I have tried febreze. no go :(

Anything else I could try?

TIA

Phil

I am pretty sure it's possible but I am sure there are other ways :)

Thanks for the input though

Hah hah hah hah hah hah hah. One time I ralphed all over my leather coat after I'd passed out, and I basically doused it in isopropyl alchohol repeatedly. Maybe some fabreeze? Or an ionizer?

Various ways to 'get rid of it':

1) Open microwave...insert cat...cook on high for 5 min.
2) Open garbage can...insert coat

Seriously...

Cat Pee on a Leather Coat. How to get rid of it?
The cat you mean? Getting rid of it seems cruel - maybe just stick it in a glass bottle like on that web site.

Wrap the cat in the leather coat, stuff in shoebox and apply 3 mags of 9mm. Dispose.

I can't remember the proportions, but there is a formula for skunk oders. It was hydrogen peroxide, baking soda, and just a bit of liquid dish soap. Maybe it would work for ya, I would imagine they are somewhat alike.

If you can't get the smell out you better get revenge and pee on the cat ;)

I took my leather jacket to the dry cleaner when this happened.

They said they'd have to "send it out for wet cleaning," whatever that means.

The good news is that after that tribulation, the jacket is wearable and will be with me for several more seasons.

Have you tried vinegar/water solution? I can't recall the exact measurements..but we've used it alot on carpet (cat/dog..)..it smells like vinegar for a while, but then it goes away. As always, YMMV..

<---drycleaner

id reccomend having it professionally cleaned, drycleaning wont get it out since its urine and only water soluble

as mentioned, it would likely need professional wetcleaning. my boss has wetcleaned leather before. wetcleaning is simply cleaning with water. as opposed to drycleaning, which uses solvents that have very little or no moisture (hence "dry"in the term)

its risky, because with water leather can easily shrink. My boss would probably charge 30 or 40 bucks to do it. check with the dry cleaners in your area, go with the one with the most experience, experience is VERY important when dealing with leather, which is why my boss does it (doing it for about 20 years) and i dont (1.5yrs)

honestly though, if we feel like a leather jacket needs wetcleaning, we just run it on a VERY short, cold water rinse and let it air dry; you NEVER dry a wet leather jacket, it will shrink easily, and drastically and is pretty much irrepairable. some cleaners may have a system set up that causes no agitation to the garmnet, which is even safer

oh, and from now on, be more careful with leather items, regular wear doesnt require much cleaning for them, and even then they arent much trouble, but beverages, ink, paint...or cat piss (one more reason not to have a housecat) are a real bitch to get out, so hang it up and close the door next time and hope to god this one is fixable :)

LOL. at last comment.

anyway I went to Petsmart and got some stuff that is supposed to take it out. If it doesn't I will try to clean it with my washing machine at a very slow cycle? do I use any detergent?

Thanks

Only eat your coat first, so your cat has to walk around smelling like leather.

Do not wash leather in your washingmachine.

I have no idea, but I would put that cat down.

I never liked cat's as pets because they do crap like this:disgust:

You could say the same thing about dogs. They'll happily sh!t all over your house if you don't take them outside.

My cat pissed on my coat about two years ago....but it was b/c I forgot about the litter box for about a week......but it smelled like the ass end of a dead billy goat.

My wife cooked up some sort of mess with Baking Soda & Vinegar & something else. She grew up with Cats so she didnt' even have to look anything up. Smelled like Vinegar for a little bit....but it's as "right as rain" now ;)

If a cat did that to ME, I'm looking to make a house pet into a gooey smear. :frown: :)
