Does anyone know how one would get cat pee out of leather? My cat decided to use my sweater with my leather collar in the pocket as a litter box. -.- I`ve already tried rubbing it with essential oil, but it still smells. >:/

Any tips would be great. Thanks!

I heard a tip about putting an item in a container with cat litter crystals and news paper and closing the container up. I posted a thread about aflogger that stunkt o high hell of cig smoke, there was good tips on that thread about removing stinky oders.

Essential oils will just make the odor remain in the leather and cover up the scent for a while. Plus, most essential oils are not good for leather as they will break down the fibers.

Make a 50/50 solution of white vinegar and warm water. Dampen the leather with warm water using a sponge or soft cloth. Then use the vinegar solution to neutralize the ammonia in the urine. Put on leather, blot...repeat. Let dry and if odor persists repeat again. It isn't the most pleasant smell at first but after drying clean gently with saddle soap and let dry completely. Condition with a light product specifically intended for leather. I prefer Aussie Leather Conditioner or another light beeswax based leather conditioner. I do not suggest using Mink Oil or Lexol products.

Urine is primarily a base solution. Since urine isn't pure ammonia you also get a lot of 'stank'. Vinegar is an acid. Remember neutralization from Chemistry? (I barely remember high school and college much less specific classes but I've brushed up on my knowledge since then).

Could be worse, my story involves a pair of male siamese cats, who during a territory war must have "claimed" the toaster during a series of ninja night missions

The next morning, chef-de-subbie starts some toast and wanders outside to chat with the rest of us, for about 5 minutes.

Before returning to discover every cubic foot of every open room is filled with steamed eau-de-cat.

It was ammonia based teargas, it was awesome. We'd see someone with tears down their face, through our own tears and just burst out laughing.
We all clustered outisde on the balconey, laughing, cracking jokes and verbally taking the piss out of the cats.

The cats took one sniff of their boiled urine, assumed from its strength that it could have only come from a cat the size of godzilla marking it's new territory and they fled for the day.

We opened every window, piled everybody into cars and fcked off for a picnic.

The flat was ok'ish after a day.

Though if you want toast there, use the grill on the stove, since there's no toasters

Even funnier, Elegant is that I'm the only one here who would know. Tis a shame I'm not going to see you and Archer at IMsL but perhaps next year when it's moved to November there hopefully won't be any conflicts.

I'm lol at the cat piss... (and wondering if "pet" piss would come out the same way.....hmm... )

I'm really interested in that thread about removing stinky odors... I smoke cigars on occasion and I worry that smell will infest my floggers. I don't want second hand flogger smoke to kill (maybe MAIM a lil bit.....lol)
