Most of us would most likely agree that there are thousands of points we would rather be investing our time doing than cleaning cat urine. Don’t neglect that cleaning the stuff up will probably be much a lot more pleasant than smelling it for many years to arrive: Ask any cat owner which has had a cat relieve themselves over a carpet, write-up of furniture, hardwood flooring, etc. As soon as the smell seeps in, it could really seem impossible at times to get rid of it.
Tried & True Method
First and foremost for when you begin cleaning cat urine: Soak up as much of it as you can with paper towels, wet/dry vacuum, etc. Do not let it soak in to the area any longer than is feasible.
Next, generously sprinkle baking soda all over the affected area, then spray or pour several diluted vinegar on it (pure vinegar can be used, but not diluting it may discolor fabrics).
Make use of an old scrub brush or rag and thoroughly wipe the area.
Now sprinkle some much more baking soda on and follow up with some hydrogen peroxide and a few drops of dish soap (or laundry detergent).
Scrub again and do not forget the “elbow grease.” Follow up with a vacuuming.
Any areas that do not have fabric can be bleached. Bleach is actually the most effective home remedy for cleaning cat urine, but it will destroy clothes and carpets.
If all else fails, or you don’t want to spend time using the method above: Look for commercial pet health care products with enzymes in them specifically designed to break down the smell of cat urine. Do not feel like you’re alone in thinking that cat urine is among the most offensive and hard to destroy smells that will grip your home: It is and can be really embarrassing having a friend or neighbor point out the pet health smell while you’re having dinner or drinks.
