Pet Cat Odor
Long story short, my beloved daughter’s cat is in my garage... Along with the cat, the litter box. All in the garage with my hunting clothes. And my tree stand.
Daughter isn’t as freaking diligent with the litter box as she should be.
Just shoot me.
I purchased two really nice Rivers West jackets last year... that now smell like cat spray.
Recommendations?! Please help!
Unfortunately, “target practice” is not a valid option 🤣😈

CalHunter, IMO you have the best suggestion. Can't just oust the cat. The relationship is strained as it is. My preference would be to take it to a shelter (well, that isn't my first preference, but I will not say what I probably shouldn't say out loud).
But as for washing the clothes... like wash them 100 times? Somebody suggested washing them with a cup of vinegar first. I don't know why that was suggested.

If the vinegar won't work I've used a couple of dishwasher soap tabs in with the wash. Seems to work better than Bleach for killing odors in pet bedding.
I'd be careful what I mix with Ammonia or Urea, plain Vinegar is unlikely to cause any issues, mixing other chemicals, who knows. I do know mixing Ammonia with chlorine makes some nasty stuff. And Urea or Ammonium Nitrate can burn with a boom, especially the crystals in cotton.
I hang my hunting clothes outside under the patio roof in the shade. About the safest place I can think of so they don't pick people or pet odors.
