Silly me I left my windows open overnight like i have done many nights in the past however this time a cat decided it wanted to jump in and pee inside. I have already steam cleaned the entire interior of my jeep and still every now and then ill get a whiff, I have already threw out my front floor mats and narrowed it to the passenger side hump but what can i use? I'm going to re steam clean the passenger side tomorrow first and hope for the best.

Lots of air freshener. Idk it may be permanent. Mine has a permanent odor that's a mix of; Jeep smells, burnt grasses, and muddy water/mildew. (from when it was sunk in a mud pit). The smells never really go away :laugh:
You could try baking soda all over the places you think the cat peed, then maybe vacuum it up? I've heard baking soda neutralizes odor.

A bleach/ water mix in a spray bottle works wonders. I can't for the life of me remember the exact ratio I have used in the past. If you Google it I'm sure you can find a good ratio that won't ruin the carpet. Mice got into the interior of my old zj, sprayed it where the nest was, a little scrubbing and the smell was gone.

X, if you are talking to me, then maybe buy some and spray the headliner and carpet and see what you got in a day or so .

Did you see all the testimonials ?

It looks like a lot of people swear by it .

All I know is it worked well for me on general stank in my house .

Lol,a PEEJAY. Seriously the pee is an organic compound and professional carpet cleaners have chemicals that actually break down those compounds. I'll ask the dude that does the carpets where I work. You might also check at a lowes for a line of cleaners made by a company called ZEP.

Use a pet urine enzyme eliminator, there's many to choose from out there, some for home use and others commercial. Spray it on the area in question, let sit, spray it again a while later and then spray with water to lift the solution applied, then use a wet/dry vac to remove, repeat the process a few times till your satisfied. works well as i have cats and every once in a while they get this wild hair up their butt and pee on the carpet in the house. I also have an ultra sensitive nose and the smell drives me insane till i get rid of it!!!! :club:

Ive already gutted mine once. Lol I know my jeep better than myself buy now. Im done messing with the carpet I have if I can get a carpet for 50 $ im all over that. Ive already spent three days steam cleaning and using everything I had available and even went to a few detail shops and there products wouldnt touch it.

Mine smells of gear oil, deer blood, surfboard wax, and mildew but no cat piss. That's retchid. Sure it didn't rain with the windows down? That can smell a lot like cat piss.

Yeah, I've had 4 days off and it has rained every day. I'm going a bit stir crazy. GF has been out of town so now i get the "do you miss me" call every day. My tongue is sore from biting it. I generally can tolerate cats but the "p" word is more of a pain, especially if she decides to piss in my truck!:D
