Just scan the floor and it will glow up...not quite like luminal, but good enough. ;)<BR/><BR/>I had urine issues with our house when we bought it (some animal, mostly human) and while the carpets were clean we'd still get a smell. We ended up having to rip up the carpets and seal the subflooring. Since it was all in corners and along the walls we just put the carpet back down and used the kicker to stretch it out nicely.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11904671.post-1153711919792637072006-07-23T20:31:00.000-07:002006-07-23T20:31:00.000-07:00I like cats, I really do, but when cat pee is in a...I like cats, I really do, but when cat pee is in a carpet it will have to be replaced. There is nothing that will take the smell out, not even professional steam cleaning.

If really bad, it may have soaked into the floor underneath the padding. If cleaning the carpet doesn't remove the smell, you'll have to pull up the carpet and remove the padding. Sometimes it's necessary to reseal the floor. I wouldn't give back her deposit until you're sure you've eliminated the smell. But remember that California has strict rules about how soon you have to give her an accounting for the deposit. You can find much more info on both these subjects at the discussion board on mrlandlord.com.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
