How do you remove the smell of cat urine from carpets and/or other surfaces?

Nature’s Miracle

For the carpet, I would suggest renting a carpet shampooer, and then spray Febreze on the carpet after the carpet dries from the shampooing. We got dog squirty poops scent out this way. I’ve actually used Febreze on hard surfaces too (like the inside of a trash can) so it will probably work on brick. Spray Febreze on the clothes, and after it dries, run them through the washer. If that doesn’t take away the scent, you may have to throw them out.

I think Febreze has a new extra strength formula that might be helpful.

Good suggestions…^ but…if the carpets padding is saturated there is NO WAY you can ever effectively remove the smell.
Outdoors it will fade on it’s own, eventually. Nothing worse than cat pee, I am grateful my cats are purr-fectly litter box trained and have never had issues with random soiling.

One that seems to work very well is Renuzit Super Odor Neutralizer.

I agree with @Coloma. Sometimes you can salvage a carpet with Natures Miriacle or other enzyme product, but usually you need to pull it up and replace the pad.

Thanks all. The cat in question is stray and the smell from the outdoors (the brick) is not fading away. Homemade solution would be even better.

Is the cat continuing to come back? Put cayenne pepper out there. When the cat sniffs it will burn it’s nose and he won’t want to come back.

Remove cat and surfaces completely!

@Judi I’m not sure if she is coming back, that is a good point. Cayenne pepper is something to consider. Thanks.

@Dr_Lawrence cat is stray, and surface too expensive to replace. And if it happens again it has to remove it again.
