Little cats...

[fustercluck]

Soooo. The other day I parked my Tundra with the windows down. I went in a friend's house for about 20 mins. When I entered my truck, I was assaulted by this acrid stench that curdled the contents of my stomach. I thought the source was some sandwich wrap that I had neglected to remove from the day before. While it stank, that was not the source of aggresively present riestiness. As I drove home, it occured to me that what I was abhoring was cat pee; not just cat pee, but male cat pee!

I have cleaned my truck three times and cannot remove the reek. I think that little punk climbed through the window, aimed his backside at my dash from the seat and let go shotgun style.

I'm at my wit's end

fuster,

theres a product called 'anti-icky poo'. get it to get out the reek.

[habanero]

Dog-tex or
Odormute
And one heck of a lot of luck.

Thanx for the help y'all. I know this will sound extreme, but I removed my entire interior today. I gutted the truck down to the heater box and the harness. I pulled the seats and carpet. I removed stuff until there was no smell left in the cab. I cleaned each part with two types of solvent. I pressure washed the carpet three times (finally smells clean).

I could not believe how the spray penetrated the dash and inst. panel. After each part was cleaned, I gave it the smell test and placed it out to dry. what a pain. I removed each duct and vent and cleaned them inside and out. Believe it or not, the spray had made it into two ducts and had dripped into the heater box. The smell was vomitous.

I'm still not done reassembling. I'm tired. Pics are forthcoming....maybe I should have started this thread elsewhere :D

[Bob98SR5]

nope, not extreme at all. uric acid only gets worse the longer you leave it in. i had to throw away my luggage once when my sis in law's cat took a piss in my almost empty suitcase. c'est la vie to $300 suitcase!

natures miracle has worked wonders on my stinky animals and kids

When it comes to amorous boy cat pee extreme barely exists.

Fuster, I could see something of this nature leaving you at your wit's end!! LOL Next time just take a leak in your truck before you leave your windows down!! That way other cat will know a larger predator is around....lol TJ

[fustercluck]

Ha! y'all are funny :D Well I reassembled the truck (95%) tonight. No cat pee smell detected. I have won this battle, but barely....now for revenge

I'll post some pics tomorrow night.

Wow, that sucks! I had left my 4runner's rear window open for a couple weeks once, a cat made a nice little nest in the coverall on the back seat (could tell by the shape of said coverall and the fur all over it) and pissed on the floor in the front seat...a lot. Fortunately I have no carpet, so lots of scrubbing and it was taken care of. I might flip out and kill every cat in my neighborhood if that happened to my Tundra.

[fustercluck]

Well, it worked. I drove around all day in the Tundra with hyper sensitive olfactory function and no pee smell. I can't find the upload cable right now, so I can't post pics. I'll look for it tomorrow...you'll be surprised at far I had to tear this truck down.....freakin' cats!

[Texas Jim]

Most Carpet cleaning supply stores can rent you an oz-oner for around $40 that you would simply mount onto a side window. Turn it on and leave truck alone for 8 hours. What this commerical grade oz-oner does is change out the air inside. You can not have plants, or pets in the area the oz-oner is running in. It will KILL them.

No scrubbing, no removal or disassembly required. These ozone-rs are used to remove the oder of dead bodies left inside of trucks or cars in the desert for weeks. Also used for fire and smoke restoration, in homes after smoke damage. It does work.....

I know, I know, your setting there now wondering why I didn't tell you this before?? Well to be honest with you by the time I read your post you were already into taking out your interior and scrubbing everything down... You could have also bought products there in liquid form that would have contained enzymes that work on a molecular level and would have eaten up the offensive oder. Trust me both of these methods would have worked. So for future reference. Next time you get skunked try something a little more scientific!!! TJ

[fustercluck]

now he tells me...:D

[Texas Jim]

I am truly sorry Fuster, but you seemed so enthralled with removing your dash, by the way any rattles in the dash yet?? lol :poke: TJ

[fustercluck]

Well I found my download cable so here are the belated pics I took.

This is about how far apart I took the int.

The pass. side angle. I ultimately removed the entire ventilation system and duct work.

Here is half of the junk I removed. The other half is in the bed....they were the parts that did NOT stink.
