October 1, 2023: Soon after we brought the RV home to Little Rigs RV Park, we realized the cat urine smell was overwhelming. I spot-cleaned the carpet and treated it with an entire bottle of Nature’s Miracle Spot and Odor Remover, an enzymatic neutralizer. A month later, I repeated the entire process. It wasn’t going to work!

Two Bottles of Nature's Miracle Wasn't Enough

We decided to tear out the carpet and install vinyl plank flooring in the motorhome bedroom. It was a good project for mental and physical well-being, though difficult. Read more at Retirement Before the Age of 59: What's That Awful Smell in the 2005 Motorhome We B....
