cat urine on wool carpet- how to best clean

11 years ago

We have wool carpet in our basement and it's looped threads of khaki cream and blue. My cat had pee'd on the carpet and I tried to clean it with my spotbot and I used Charlie's Natural laundry detergent as the cleaner and after I cleaned the carpet it became a copper color?!

I have since cleaned the carpet with hot water but there is still a bit of urine smell. What's the best way to clean a wool looped carpet and get urine out?

I don't know what to use, but my carpet cleaners I used for our rental said they could not get out cat urine, they wouldn't even try. They can get out dog urine.

Good luck.
