How to Get Rid of Cat Urine Smell

Although your cats are part of your family, and add to the comforting feel of your home, the odor of their urine is just unwelcoming. Each time you enter the house, the stench makes you feel like turning back. The steps below will guide you on how to get rid of cat urine smell.

Get Rid of as Much Urine as Possible

The moment you realize that your kitty has messed up outside its box, swing into action and remove the urine before it dries up. Simply blot the area with an absorbent towel.

Use an Enzymatic Cleaner to Break Down the Smell and Stain

This cleaner releases cultures that actually eat the urine, thereby improving the sanitary condition of the site, as well as the odor. It is important to do a proper job here, otherwise the cats will spot the area and soil it up again.

Use an Extracting Wet Vac in Cleaning the Area

This cleaner helps in rinsing the area. Avoid the use of steam cleaners as much as possible especially where you are dealing with a carpet. It is recommended that you use cool, clean water.

Top Up With a Baking Soda Air Freshener

Sodium bicarbonate is a component in the baking soda that acts as a powerful absorber of strong odors. Sprinkle it on the furniture and carpet after cleaning.

With these tips, that unpleasant odor will be a thing of the past.
