Last year we purchased a home that been soiled by the previous owners' cat. We thought that having the carpets professionally cleaned would take care of it but it just made the problem worse.

After using several well-advertised and expensive cat urine removal products that didn't work, I was searching on the web for a solution and found a website selling a homemade recipe.

Desperate I bought it and wouldn't you know it - it worked!

So well that I had to find out why and researched the chemistry and origins of the recipe.

I found out it was developed originally by a chemist, Paul Krebaum, for neutralizing the proteins in skunk odor, which are the same proteins found in cat urine and give it it's horrible smell!

Krebaum published this recipe, free of charge, as a public service item in October 1993.

Many websites are selling this recipe but I think it should be offered for free and nobody will have to pay for it again!
