Carrie, Kitty urine washes out quite nicely in the wash I've learned, so just throw the rug in the wash if you don't think it would become too unraveled. A towel would be a better choice because those can be washed over and over. If this works for Pepper, I will buy several cheap towels for her and wash them only with each other. I am so excited because it's been a problem!
