I've tried everything-Resolve, Spot Shot, Woolite Rug cleaner, etc... Any ideas to get the yellow out? The smell is pretty much gone (or at least masked)

Also, true or false-vinegar will get the pee smell out...

Hydrogen Peroxide is the best at getting stains out, and it will not bleach out your carpet! My dh had two bottles of red wine break open in his car on his dark blue flooring..got out all the stains.
I haven't heard about the vinegar, but Nature's Own is pretty good.

Nature's Miracle or Nature's Own are the BEST! I would be careful with hydrogen peroxide. Peroxide is bleach. White vinegar is terrific too! Good luck!

Kstme, I know it's a bleach, and was very hesistant the first time I tried it, but it really does work!

I looked at my mom like she was crazy when she suggested this, but as usual, she was right! LOL

Julie, I hate to tell you this but I worked in carpet for several years and Resolve actually does more harm than good. It can "set" a stain so that anything you use afterwards will not work. But I would suggest trying a very liquid formula of OxyClean or one of the knockoffs. Soak the area good with it and let it sit for a while then put down a thick towel and stomp on it to get up all the liquid.

i agree about the peroxide. i have white carpet in my dining room and my brother spilled a whole glass of red wine on it our first holiday with the remodeled room! my cousin jumped up, blotted it and then ran to the bathroom and got the peroxide. she poured it on, left it for about 3 minutes and then blotted it up. blotting seems to be key, rather than 'scrubbing'. you 'lift' the stains out, rather than 'spreading' them. it worked perfectly and did not 'bleach' the area at all.

my dog peed on my wooden pedestal for my carousel horse once when he was in way too long because we were in a car accident. it took the stains and finish right off of it! the cleanest part was where he peed on it! maybe you can get rid of cat pee by using dog pee? just a thought! LOL

i have found i can get rid of dog urine smells, but not cat urine. luckily, our indoor cat uses his boxes (upstairs for number one, and downstairs for number two. don't ask! i have no idea how or why he thought to separate the two functions :) )
we have friends where i can't sit through a dinner party because their living/dining room carpet smells so bad of cat urine. she keeps telling me she has gotten rid of the smell...i think she must be trying to convince herself. it has smelled bad for the 4 years they have lived there and had the aging cat who thinks carpet is so comfortable compared to litter!

I haven't tried the peroxide yet but have good results on cat hairball stains with Woolite Oxy Deep Spray. When I had a cat with a chronic bladder problem the only thing that worked with the odor was a good steam cleaning! Guess all we pet owners should buy that fancy $$$ Living Air cleaner--which I can't afford because I spend all my money on expensive cat litter!
