How To Get Rid Of Cat Urine Odor

If you have a cat, chances are you've dealt with the occasional (or not so occasional) problem of cat urine odor. You may also have a kitten who is still learning where the litter box is or an elderly cat with health problems. Dealing with urine stains and odors can be a part of life for any cat owner. While kitty litter does a pretty good job of trapping urine and masking the smell, sometimes the odor can be persistent. When that happens, it's time to take matters into your own hands and get rid of the smell once and for all.

Of course, the best way to deal with cat urine odor is to prevent it from happening in the first place. If you have more than one cat, be sure each one has their own litter box so they don't have to compete for space. Additionally, scoop out their litter boxes at least once a day and clean them completely with soap and water on a weekly basis. By taking these preventive measures, you can help keep your home smelling fresh and free of any unwanted odors.

However, if you do have cat odor and you want to get rid of it this is what you should do:

First, get the following items:

-A black light (this will help you locate the source of the odor)

-White vinegar

-Baking soda

-Hydrogen peroxide

-A clean cloth or sponge

-A laundry detergent that contains enzymes

Once you have gathered all of your materials, follow these steps to remove the urine odor:

1. Locate the source of the odor using your black light. Once you've found the area where the odor is coming from, thoroughly clean it with soap and water.

2. Mix equal parts of white vinegar and water in a bowl. Use this mixture to scrub the affected area.

3. Rinse the area with clean water and then blot it dry with a clean cloth or sponge.

4. Sprinkle baking soda on the area and let it sit for 15 minutes. Then vacuum it up.

5. Pour hydrogen peroxide on the area and let it sit for 30 minutes before blotting it dry.

6. Wash any fabrics that may have been affected by cat urine in a washing machine with a laundry detergent that contains enzymes. Be sure to use hot water for best results.

7. Repeat steps 2-6 as necessary until the odor is completely gone.
