Most of us would probably agree there are a large number of points we would rather be investing our time doing than cleaning cat urine. Do not neglect that cleaning the stuff up will probably be much more pleasant than smelling it for many years to arrive: Ask any cat proprietor which has had a cat relieve themselves over a carpet, write-up of furniture, hardwood flooring, etc. Once the smell seeps in, it may really seem not possible 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 are able to with paper towels, wet/dry vacuum, and so on. 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 well discolor fabrics).

Use an old scrub brush or rag and thoroughly wipe the area.

Now sprinkle some more baking soda on and follow up with several hydrogen peroxide and a few drops of dish soap (or laundry detergent).

Scrub again and don’t neglect the “elbow grease.” Follow up with a vacuuming.

Any areas that don’t have fabric can be bleached. Bleach is really 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. Don’t 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 extremely embarrassing using a friend or neighbor point out the pet health smell while you’re having dinner or drinks.
