my cat is fine except I’ve got my house on the market and one of the realtor idiots closed the bedroom door, locking my cat in my bedroom, and as a result there is a very foul odor coming from my bed which I assume is cat urine. the smell went through the mattress, the sheets, even down through the mattress. Is there any way of getting rid of the smell?

There are several products made specifically for this problem. Nature’s Miracle and Simple Solution are the names of two. Because this is a mattress, you may need to soak the product into the mattress for several treatments. Follow up with Febreze.
I doubt it. Think about it. Way into the mattress???
Scary thought! I have 3 cats. If you want to sell the house. Toss the mattress.
throw it away. Cat urine is almost impossible to get out. don’t know how you’d get it out of a matress.
A product called Nature’s Miracle is the best I’ve heard of. You can get it at Petsmart.
I assume you could use nature’s miracles for the sheets but it won’t work for the mattress, get a new one and fire the realtor idiot for locking your cat in the bedroom,
hope this helps you out.
Wash it with tomato juice, dry, flip the mattress over and put charcoal (in a breathable bag) between the mattress and box springs until the odor is gone. good luck! The tomato juice works but will be difficult to remove the deep stuff. The charcoal will absorb the odor as will baking soda.
My cat did the same thing. You have to get rid of it, or they will keep doing the same thing because the smell is there. We actually now keep bedroom doors closed in rooms we are not in, to prevent this type of behavior. Next time buy a waterproof mattress protector from Wal-Mart, they are like $20 or so for a king, and it will help protect your mattress. I would go ahead and buy those for the beds your cat hasn’t peed on. I did a lot of investiagting about this behavior, and when they go potty on your bed, it’s them saying they miss you, and this sounds really silly and I think it is, but it is supposed to be the equivalent of them sending you flowers. I hope this helps you understand what is going on.
That smell does not come out of anything completely. Good luck. Try a pet store.
i would try vinegar in a spray bottle don,t worry the smell will go away within acouple minutes i have ferrets and it worked for me when they have accidents
here is an article which would help you:

change everything. Cats’ urine is a way to mark their territories, that’s what the smell’s for. Buy a new mattress and sheets
in my experience, windex fixes everything. spray and scrub. also…wash your sheets.
GOOD LUCK!!!!!!! cat urine is impossible to get out. Buy a new mattress
You can wash the sheets, but you’ll have to chuck the mattress. Buy a new mattress and bill it to the Realtor. Even when they are showing a house, I’ve never heard of them closing anything but the front and back doors.
I had a cat do this once when it was sick. And no, the cat won’t necessarily repeat the habit, escpecially since this was not an ordinary situation.
I washed the spot with water, baking soda and a towel several times. After letting it dry, I sprayed it with Febreeze (the kind for fabrics) a couple of times a day for a week and the smell is finally gone.
Buy that stuff that gives you the blacklight to find the urine.. Urine-b-gone?
Go to Petsmart there are pet odor spreys you can try also don’t use fabreeze it only makes it worse also try a steam cleaner it worked for me good luck
Get yourself some "Odorzout".
You can buy it on the web or at PetSmat or Petco.
that is one smell that you cant get rid of in the mean time try baking soda and a little bit of water and scrub it good luck
there is a product called Pee Pee, you can get it at a pet store. Sometimes you might find it in a supper market.
Buy a new matress. That is the only way I know of.
No way-I tried once.Save yourself the trouble.
try natures miracle for spot cleaning it gets the smell out and it cleans it
try urine b gone it on the tv a friend was selling her home she said it helped her house
i heard ammonia works, since cat urine has ammonia in it kill ammonia with ammonia, as far as the mattress, no clue
Chunk the mattress, that smell WON’T come out. Sleep on the couch until your house gets sold
You may try going to the vets and see what they have they usually have stuff for pet urine.
try that product called urine gone
Sorry, cat urine is one smell that is impossible to get rid of. I had a $1200 couch I had to take to the dump because my cat peed on it! Lesson learned the hard way!
VINEGAR. It neutralizes ammonia!! Pour it wherever the puddle was at. It WILL work.
