Insurance as I've heard you can't get rid of smell.

well, you can in most cases. If the fabric can handle it, diluted white vinegar kills cat wee smells very effectively. I used to foster cats so I ought to know!

Well you can ,with baking soda and white vinegar, but again, depends on the fabric. There is a formula on the link I posted.

Nonsense. Time if nothing else works. But simple washing removes it.

thanks, i might ring the insurance company before I try to clean them to check that they will be still covered if I try to clean them myself. As they are professionally made curtains they dont have a label and they are a modern shiny type fabric.

If the modern shiny fabric is taffeta, it washes like a rag. Better yet it doesn't require ironing. I've had to wash several large & expensive taffetacurtains due to red wine, cats & other mishaps.

We had a cat break in and spray on our curtains (they are taffeta and it came out fine with no smell left) was disgusting though!

My cat has peed in my pot plant,will white vinegar diluted get rid of smell, or would it kill the plant.It is in a large planter so will cost a packet to replace it.

I'm afraid that they are had it and will need to be replaced. Cat urine is very damaging and the smell is very difficult to remove. You may think its gone and then the room gets a little damp and hey, the smell's back. If you go through your insurance company, they will send in the cleaners and it may or may not work. Then you may have to replace them anyway.

We got rid of the smell of cat pee very successfully just with white vinegar and a couple of washes. It wasn't my cat either, which is more annoying. You can just go to Spotlight or the fabric shop and look for your fabric to get care instructions.

Many years ago we rehomed an unneutered male cat. It was Summer. The first thing he did was spray the entire house from top to bottom, furniture, carpets, drapes. We thought the house was totalled. My wife used the white vinegar in warm water trick and it literally disappeared immediately. Most impressed. The smell never came back and the cat was neutered faster than the speed of light and luckily never ever sprayed again. We still have him, bless his wee soul.
