- Cat peed on your down comforter, eh? One thing that might help (no
- guarantees here) is to wash the area as thoroughly as possible with a
- product like Nature's Miracle (this is some sort of enzyme based
- eater of biological odors sold at pet supply stores. If this exact
- product is not available you might see if the store can offer something
- comparable.
-
- You probably have to do this more than once.
-
- If this were a carpet or a floor, you would be advised to put down a bowl
- of food in that spot AFTER cleaning it with the abovementioned product.
- Probably can't do THAT though, on a down comforter. Good luck!
- Those things are wonderful AND expensive.
-
- Come to think of it, when the same thing happened to me I then took
- the entire comforter, after washing the affected areas
- with that stuff, and hung it outside
- in the sun to dry The exposure to sunshine and fresh air may have
- had no effect at all, or something significant. As far as I can tell,
- whoever did it to my comforter before hasn't tried it again. Don't know
- why. I'm just glad the villan, whichever one it was, has lost interest.
