    Urate smell ???

    I picked up a 1200 gram girl yesterday at the White Plains show. I brought her home in a snake bag in a box with newspaper . About ten minutes into the ride home she decides to leave a hotel bar of soap size urate in the bag with her.... It leaked through the bag and out of the box onto my trucks back seat......

    Needless to say my truck now smells very very bad... Ive used fabreze , air fresheners, I left my windows down today at work and it still smells awful.. Does anyone have any Ideas on how to get rid of this smell ?

    I would shampoo that seat... forsure! You're going to have to clean it... airing it out won't do the track... it's going into the fabric! Time to shampoo that sucker lol

    I'm sorry, but I've gotta laugh at this one. I have a couple big girls that pee every time they get bagged. I remember the day I got them. I went to a reptile show to pick them up, and the guy was frantically searching for new bags for them since they'd peed in theirs.

    I'm not sure if it'll work, but I'd sprinkle some baking soda on there and let it sit for a bit then vacuum it up and brush it off.

    I've heard that white vinegar will help eliminate urine smells. (never had to test that theory)

    If you can stomach the vinegar smell, you might try blotting the affected area with it.

    I've also heard that using a paste of baking soda and water will help draw the smell out of upholstery (again, never had to test that theory). Cleaning with water and vacuuming after the paste has "done its job".

    These are things I've heard about cat/dog urine.

    Best of luck with whatever you use. Also, keep us updated on what does the trick!

    Try making a Baking Soda paste, and use that to clean the seat.

    Aren't there cleaning products made just for cleaning pet urine stains? Or are they bunk?

    EDIT: http://www.urinegone.com/

    Note that it is an "As seen on TV" product, so the effectiveness is questionable. "For pet or people accidents" LOL

    Vinegar & water is cheaper.
