I use OxiClean. Works like a charm.

Not sure what you are allergic to, but I use Urineout, the best stuff on earth. It has a very mild smell. Otherwise, you can try letting baking soda sit on it for 2 days.

I've never tried this, but since you're looking for a natural method, try cornmeal. Pour it on the gak stain, let sit (it supposedly will soak up any liquids), remove, then pour on more and rub in, then brush off.

Before the 1920s this is one method women used to clean wool clothing that couldn't be washed in water - I've always wondered how well it worked.

Talc was used for the same purpose. So try cornstarch, baking soda, or talc.

Actually, cat gak is one reason I have a ton of cheap throw rugs scattered around the house. I just wash them in the washer, and turn them into rags when they begin to look nasty.

Although, as I said in another thread, if you get a dog they'll eat up most hairballless gak before it has time to set!

Have to be really careful with the peroxide, it can take the color out of some carpets.

The US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) notes that many household cleaners contain volatile organic compounds (VOCs) such as formaldehyde and harsh acids.
Since indoor VOC levels are often two to five times greater than outdoor levels, humans can experience “eye, nose, and throat irritation; headaches; loss of coordination; nausea; and damage to liver, kidney, and central nervous systems” from indoor exposure to these chemicals, according to the EPA.
“Some [VOCs] can cause cancer in animals; some are suspected or known to cause cancer in humans,” the agency says.

Well, time to do some research on the NET. There are any sites that address natural cleaners. Here is just one link. I would think if you use laundry soap, or dish soap or any sort of cleaning products you'll find something that you aren't allergic to. And, you may need to switch your cat's food to something for sensitive stomachs, or see your Vet and get some lysene to sprinkle on the cat's food, it helps.

ellenrr:

I use a brand of products from a company called Norwex. Many of their products are enzyme based and plant based. They have silver infused microfiber cloths which will help with the stain, but also a carpet stain remover that should take care of the problem and not aggravate your allergies.
