FRICK!!!

[aimeekitty]

my cat pissed on my wig and one of my extensions. I tried cutting out the affected area from the extension, but it still smells funny and now I've ruined one whole extension (and I didnt really have enough to spare!)

any suggestions? I'm just about to shove my cat and the wig through a cusinart.

help! :...( I'm poor I can't afford to buy another wig. can I wash it or something?? with what?? :(!!!!

Have you tried wig shampoo yet? o.o Other than that I've no idea. I'm not too fluent on wig care.

I feel your pain. My cat thought it would be a good idea to piss on the fabric I used for my Aoi Karin costume. Luckily, it washed ok.

Some mild soapy water shouldn't hurt the wig. And after it's clean, you could always try some fabreez (sp?) if there's still a smell.

*big hugs* I hope it works out!

If it is a synthetic wig, mom says that you can use the odor eliminator available at a pet store....Just follow the directions on the package.

Not sure if this will work, but you can give it a try.

You'll probably wanna take your undestructure out if you wash it..thats the one down side. But washing wigs is easy.
Here's what I was taught in class:
Fill up your sink with cold water. Drag your wig though the water until its completely wet.
Then soap your wig up with Shampoo. Don't scrub it, it will only get tangled. Put shampoo on the scalp then drag your fingers down and pretty much pull the shampoo through the hair. Stop and give the hair a squeeze and squeeze the shampoo through too. Don't twist the hair. It will only damage it.
To rinse it, do the same thing that you did to wet it, drag it through the water until most of the soap is washed away. Then turn the fawsett on and rinse the rest out gently.
If the wig is Syntheic, use a fabric softener as your conditioner. Fabreeze (Like gchan suggested:)) Is VERY affective.
Condition your wig like you washed it.
If its real hair, use an actual conditioner.
Lay out a towel. Lay your wig on the towel then wrap the wig up gently and press it dry. After you got most of the wetness out you can dry it. At school we use a wig dryer but my teacher said that its just as affective to use a hair dryer set on cool/lo it jsut takes longer. Don't Over dry it though or you may fry it...then it will look like my hair;)

*L* Anyways, I'm sure this is all too little too late since I JUST read this post.
Hope you get the cat stinkies out!
If not..shave your cat and use THAT to replace your wig;)

I don't know how you have the extensions attached, but when i used wigs for stuff in the past, i used regular baby shampoo n luke warm water, and then fabric softner.
When you wash the wig, esp if it is using synthetic hair, it will want to tangle, and if the wig has a fabric cap, iam sure the cat urine got into it and short of hand washing it with get the odor of the ammonia from the urine out.
after washing it, then you use the fabric softner, i think we used downey fab softner.
Hand soak it in that, then rinse it out with cold water, it should detangle the synth hair a lot, put it on a wig head if you have one, let it air dry till damp, and then brush it out with soft bristled hair brush.
I don't know if you sewed the ext into it or glued, if you glued the fab softner might unstick the extensions, if sewn, then be careful when washing or you may break the thread.
Mind you it has been a while since i did weaves witha friend, but the fab softner is how we were able to wash our hair and still be able to style with the weaves in.
In any case good luck!

Febreeze. Febreeze is Jesus in a bottle.

Too bad...

Aimee, my mother wears a wig as her hair. I don't think she's ever had to clean it but I will ask her what the best way to get *ahem* cat piss out of something is.

Have you tryed oxi clean? That gets out stains but I don't know about smells. Febreze is really good, too.

I'll have to agree with everyone here and say Febreeze. My male cat as a nasty habit of spraying inside the house and I've found that Febreeze is the only thing that can rid the air (and the furniture) of the acrid stench of kitty pee >_
