Removing pet odors and stains from any animal can be difficult, but urine seems to be the worst. Even if you have a litter box for your cat, he may like your mat better when he has to urinate. The best solution to remove pet odor and stains when it comes to urine is to use enzyme and bacteria based cleaners. Just be sure to follow the instructions on the cleaner.
Cat urine is not only a way to get rid of liquid toxins from your body, it is also a way to mark your territory. Your urine is so strong due to its protein content. If you use a regular household cleaner to try and remove the odor, it will only mask it. After some time, the crystals in the urine reactivate and it returns to have this strong irritating odor. There are some home remedies to remove the strong smell of urine from the carpet. However, before you can get rid of the smell, you must first get rid of the stain.
If you see your cat urinate on the ground or feel wetness on your bare feet, it is most likely cat urine. To remove a fresh stain, wipe it off the carpet with dry cloth or absorbent paper towels. Place them on the urine stain and leave it there for a couple of minutes to allow the material to absorb all the urine from the surface of the carpet. Replace them with new ones and gently with new ones. After absorbing the urine a couple of times, you will need to stand on the paper to scoop out the last bit of urine in the deeper layers. Make sure that when you are cleaning the urine you do not rub it because this will simply spread it over a larger area, giving you more area to clean.
Once you’ve cleaned up the urine, it’s time to work on removing pet odor and stains. For best results, use a carpet shampoo and rinse with warm water. It may take a couple of attempts to remove the stain, especially if it is an older stain. Once you’ve removed the stain, you can work to remove the odor. Mix three parts water to one part vinegar in a spray bottle and spray over the area and use the same drying methods. Sprinkle in some baking soda and allow to dry after scrubbing into the stain with a brush. Once dry, vacuum and if the smell persists, repeat until it disappears.
