I spoke to a carpet cleaning expert one time about neutralizing odors. The first thing she asked was cat or dog urine? She also gave me the recipe with peroxide, baking soda and dish soap. She says use that with dogs. If it's cat, use the white vinegar recipe. I would like to warn people not to try storing the peroxide mixture. Mix what you need if you haven't used it up in a couple of hours, dump it. If that mixture is sealed in a container too long it builds pressure and will explode a plastic bottle or worse yet will spray out onto you if you open it. Peroxide and soft tissue, like eyes, don't mix well. Also, she says to neutralize the odor you must put an equal amount of cleaner to urine on the spot. Then put 20 lbs of pressure over a towel on the spot to completely soak up the moisture, leave on for 24 hours. And just in case no one knows, black lights can find spots; however, when you've cleaned the spot (no matter what you use) the spot will still show under the light. If you put the cleaner on a clean spot, it will show under the light. It's a helpful tool but can be misleading.
