When you notice a urine spot on your carpet, the amount of urine that has soaked through your carpet into the padding is approx. 2-3 times the size of the area that you see on the surface.

Note: Carpet that has had cat urine damage most often is un-salvageable due to the high levels of ammonia in the urine.
