remove urine smell

Ok strange question. How do you remove cat urine smell from fabric.

Last week while taking our cat to the vet, it peed in the car. The good news it wasn't my new Mini, the bad news was its the car I'm about to sell.

I've tried a pet cleaning solution and this stuff i got at Petco that is supposed to remove odor. Neither worked. I've read some places that vinegar works. Anyone try that? Thanks!

Yep, try vinegar, but let it soak for a bit, then shampoo with one that removes pet odors. Use a vacuum to suck the excess liquid, let dry, and finally sprinkle baking soda generously. Let it sit for a day, and vacuum. Once odor is gone, no more peeing on the carpet

Thanks! I'll give those a shot. Good news is I get my Mini tomorrow so I won't have to smell it any more.
