So, my excited little self decided to start organizing the Bonnaroo box today.
I walk up to my box, pick up my tiedye sheet, and discover something horrible. My cat apparently has been using my Bonnabox as a litterbox
Everything is soaked. Soaked to the bottom of the box. I put my sheet and hat in the washer, and wiped everything down with 409, but my Camelbak stinks. There's still a lingering stench.
How do I clean my Camelbak? Can I put it in the washer? How can I get the smell out of my solid stuff that can't be put in the washing machine? ???
I'm so upset. I keep his litterbox pristine this is such a hassle!
Go to petsmart,and get the odor eraser with the enzyme built in. Tell them you want the one they give away with puppy toilet training. Then get two rolls of paper towels and go to it. For anything that can stand the damp make a solution of it, and let it soak overnight. Otherwise just wipe it on let it sit, and wipe it off. This will help quite a bit.
BTW I am gonna make a smart ass remark I am still working on it though.
You can probably put it in the washer on the gentle cycle with a crap load of detergent. Liquid fabric softener would help mask the smell. I think first you should use something on it like a mixture of vinegar, water & laundrey detergent....then gentle cycle. The vingar stinks when you clean it but it gets rid of pet odor. Once you wash it afterwards the vinegar smell should go away.
^^^ it's true Sorry to say but the camelback must be laid to rest. Dunk your cat in a tub of water for punishment and head to the store for a new pack.
I just soaked the camelbak in vinegar and am going to let it sit overnight. thank god it didn't soak all the way through to the very back, so I think the drinking part is safe. I think I can probably salvage it. It's the greatest casualty of the pee incident.
That sucks bama, I totally feel for you, I recently realized my yoga mat has been used as a cat scratch post for a few months now....guess i should of done more yoga.
edit:: Try buying a bottle of Woolite, it's not expensive. Let it soak in the sink and rinse it out.
The most stable isotope of carbon is graphite, it all gets there eventually. Diamonds are forever is cheap marketing gimmick by one of the most unethical companies on earth. If you care about someone buy them an emerald or ruby, both are truly rare. Fun fact by the way if De Beers never mined another diamond, they have 100 years inventory on hand. Diamonds are an artificial market.

I couldn't touch the camelbak again, call it a hangup, but I'd just let that one go. Maybe oxyclean will do for everything else? Supposedly it does well with 'organic' stains/smells. I've had good results with everything else - but no experience with any pet stuff.

Wayne Campbell: Good call. It's like he wants us to be liked by everyone. I mean Led Zeppelin didn't write tunes everybody liked. They left that to the Bee Gees.
We did our trial run this weekend. We come step away, only to return to find our cat using the tent as a scratching post. "NOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!" She spent the next day and a half indoors, while the tent continued to air out.
Not true. Do what Jess suggested...go to PetSmart and pick up Nature's Miracle. Good luck!
Good stuff!
I have 3 cats. Know what you are dealing with. Use this stuff, then put the camel back out in the baking sun. If it does not smell, you are good to go. If it does, toss and get a new one.
That sucks, Bama! I have a kitty -- she's never used anything other than her litterbox but she is bad about playing and hiding things, like my boyfriend's Playstation 3 controller charging cable and my tape measures. We have to hide anything that resembles a string (or glow stick) so she doesn't steal it.
It's been so long since I've had to clean cat pee off of anything other than a litter box; I can't remember what I used when I lived at my mom's w/ the family's 3 cats. Did the PetSmart stuff work?

My uncle used to rant on the same subject. DeBeers is an intensely vicious company.
BTW, the wife's engagement ring is a sapphire.
Sucks to hear about the cat-tastrophe. Hope you can get the stank out.
