How to get rid of ammonia smell ... ?

Thanks to you all for the helpful suggestions.

The smell is starting to clear now, but I just couldnt believe how long it has lingered!!!   I think the smell went into all the material and soft furnishings in the room!!!

Thanks again

I've found that surgical spirit is very good and gets rid of most smells.

Isn't baking soda supposed to get rid of smells like that?

Hi - I am the lucky cat owner in question.  Thanks for your suggestions so far - I will give anything a try!!

 Wipe with Whisky, Brandy, Rum, Gin and if that is too painful Surgical spiirit.

Except....I'm not sure how Brandy and Whisky will feel about being wiped with rum and gin!!!! 

(btw - my cats are called Brandy, Whisky and Tuffy)

Neutrodol powder is good - just sprinkle it in the drawer, it neutralises smells.

Argh dont use bleach!!! Bleach has ammonia in it so cats think that another cat has marked its territory.....there's a thing called simple solution you can buy from pets at home.....I use bio washing powder watered down further than a paste

My work friend has found out the one disadvantage of having a cat flap in her door … in that her cats can now bring mice etc indoors!

She found one Monday night, after enduring 2 nights of a stinky cabbaby smell and feeling rather ill on the Sunday – until they found the dead mouse which was decomposing in the drawer under their bed! 

She’s trying everything to get rid of the ammonia smell – air fresheners, open windows, incense, have bleached the drawer etc – but the smell is still there

Anyone got any advice on what I can suggest to her to try?
