How Can I Get Rid of Cat Urine Smell from My Running Shoes?

I just recently moved into a new house, with a bunch of other people. There is a cat here, and I was here for 2-3 days maybe, and it urinated on my new Nike running shoes. The smell is HORRIBLE... and I've washed them twice, and filled them full and surrounded them with Bounce Fabric Softener sheets... they still stink. Is there anything I can do, or buy to get rid of the smell? PLease don't say get new shoes...


Thanks, any information will be greatly appreciated.

Petland sells a product called Premium Enzyme Odor %26amp; Stain Eliminator. The stuff kills cat urine smell, it does not mask it, it kills the odor.
Reply:holy, im not sure but maybe vinegar or something..but who knows how that will smell on your feet or if it will damage your shoes. maybe you should make slippers out of the cat..shh didn't hear it from me
Reply:Most pet stores or discount stores will sell something named Natures Miracle or Simple Solution. It is an enzyme based solution that breaks down the odor. This is about the only thing that will work.
Reply:Try Atmosklear. You can get it at Ace Hardware stores, among other places. It's a spray, and if it comes into contact with the source of the odor, the odor will be GONE. It really works, too. You'll want to pull the insoles out of the shoes to make sure you spray every surface.
Reply:There is a product called ZeroOdor that I got online that works pretty well. It may take a few times of spraying them down, but it's worth a try. Also, I wonder if you put them in a plastic bag and then sprayed them heavily with it and let it trap the odor...it might just work. It's worth a try. Also, baking soda will really absorb odors, so maybe try that.
Reply:Frebreze works wonders
Reply:Sintky Pinkies inside the shoe (get at the drug store) and Febreze outiside and inside.
Reply:My mother told me that white vinegar worked when I had a similar problem. It did, but then you kind of have the vinegar smell hanging around.





I just ended up washing the item in the hottest water setting available with Ecos detergent. It worked, I think the heat had something to do with it.





But such a high temperature might damage the shoes.





You could get them dry cleaned as well.
Reply:get some carpet cleaner and some cat repellent/cleansing spray, you can find it at any pet store, and probably places like target/walmart, though i've never actually looked there. Resolve with the little brush thing on top is the best to get the smell out, but it probably won't fit into a shoe so get an old toothbrush and squirt a little on, and that should get the smell, and then do the repellent (it smells like oranges, cats hate orange) and spray it on, then leave them to dry. that should do it.
Reply:Wash them in tomato juice! They may discolor but the smell will be gone!
Reply:well u can buy one of those carpet things ugenst the smell, it would probabaly work.
Reply:Get an enzymatic urine cleaner that you mix with warm water, and saturate the shoes with the cleaner and water mix. Wrap it all in a towel or put the shoes in gallon-size ziplocs for 24 hours, then wash them again. You may need to go to a pet supply store to find the enzymatic cleaner.
Reply:go to walmart and buy a poduct called urine gone
Reply:The cats owner should pay for the new shoes other than that try soaking them in white vinegar or ammonia overnight, warning the ammonia will bleach and fabric that is colored.
