I’m looking for a good carpet washer for cat urine. I do my best but the princess spent most of her life a stray and doesn’t understand litter boxes. It’s just a small corridor. Any recommendations?
For cat urine, or really anything that is trapped in the fibres or pores of a floor, you're gonna want an encapsulation cleaner. Here's why;
When you have something trapped in a fibre, scrubbing it can actually cause it to become more lodged in to the weave itself. What an encapsulation cleaner does is take the bad items, essentially eat it, and bring itself to the surface where it can then be vacuumed or swept up. If you've ever had to get oil stains out of a concrete floor, you may familiar with this process.
For carpet, you're also going to want something that is safe and won't bleach the fibres. But because it is also urine, you want a bio-enzymatic that is going to fully digest the bacteria causing the smell.
Diversey has an encapsulation cleaner for carpet and so does Swish. 3M also has an upholstery spray, however I wouldn't trust it to get rid of something as strong as cat urine as it isn't a bio-enzymatic.
Good luck and give her plenty of kisses for me!

“3M plans to phase out “forever chemicals” over the next few years, the manufacturing giant announced today. The announcement comes as the company faces a slew of lawsuits over its toxic legacy with per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances, also known as PFAS or forever chemicals.
Specifically, 3M says it will discontinue the use of forever chemicals in its portfolio of products and “exit all PFAS manufacturing by the end of 2025.” Currently, 3M nets around $1.3 billion in annual sales of PFAS it manufactures. The chemicals have gone into many of its most iconic products over the years, including Scotchgard fabric protector. In the 1960s, the company also worked with the Navy to develop firefighting foam using PFAS...
Forever chemicals are found in soil, drinking water, and in human blood. It’s often found at low levels, and researchers are still trying to understand what that means for our health and environment. But bigger problems have cropped up for communities exposed to higher concentrations of PFAS at more contaminated sites like factories and military bases. Exposure to high concentrations of PFAS has been linked to greater risks of certain kinds of cancer, liver damage, increased cholesterol, and reproductive health issues.
That’s how 3M has gotten itself into legal troubles it faces now, in the form of some 2,000 lawsuits, according to Bloomberg Intelligence. The state of California, for example, filed suit against 3M and other manufacturers in November for continuing to make PFAS products despite allegedly knowing the dangers associated with them for decades. Minnesota filed a similar lawsuit against 3M alleging the company damaged drinking water and natural resources; it was settled in 2018. The company faces up to $30 billion in potential legal liability for the hundreds of products it has developed with PFAS over the better part of a decade, Bloomberg Law reports.” -via The Verge, 12/20/22
