Pet Odor Removal tips:
1.First you will want to remove as much urine as possible. The less urine there is, the less you’ll have to deep clean. So when you notice that your cat has urinated somewhere outside of her litter box, clean up as much of it as you can as soon as you can. If the puddle was made on carpet or furniture, we recommend blotting the
area with an absorbent paper towel. This won’t get up all of the urine, but it will leave less of it behind for you to have to treat later.
Make sure you look at all the draperies as well since some cats might spray on them as well. The longer urine stays on fabric, the more stubborn its odor becomes. We use enzymatic additives which we feel are best for cleaning items that have urine odor. Baking soda is good for a home remedy.
2. Break down the stain and smell with an enzymatic cleaner. “Enzymatic cleaners release cultures that literally eat the urine, leaving things sanitary and smell free once dry,” Many non-protein-based carpet and fabric deodorizers alone won’t be able to handle the strong, pervasive odor of cat urine. Cats have a stronger sense of
smell than people, so even if you can’t smell leftover urine, your cat might – making it more likely that the cat
will soil the area again.
A spray made with enzymes that target pet urine can help break down the urine and make it less likely that your cat will return. There are a number of these products in pet stores and home improvement stores. Just be sure to use it as instructed. (The potency of many enzymatic cleaners can be weakened by contact with other cleaning chemicals.)
3. Clean the area with an extracting wet vac but avoid steam cleaners. Extracting carpet cleaners expel clean water onto carpet or fabric then suck dirty water back into the tank. This can be a great way to rinse the area, especially if you’re dealing with carpeting. It’s important to follow the directions carefully. Hiring a professional
company is always a choice but if done properly this can be done at home by yourself.
