Some of these methods include enzymatic cleaners, OxiClean, Vinegar, and Thornell Laundry Odor Eliminator. To get rid of cat pee smell fast, try one of these tips.
Cats are great pets and all but there is one thing about them: they are, like all animals, creatures of instinct. To the cat, that box is a legit place to go pee and poo. There is nothing worse than coming home from a long day at work to some terrible stench lingering in the air. Oh no! Did your pet happen to have an accident or did you have a small leak in your roof? Relax. If you think this can’t get any worse, just wait until it starts to decompose as then not only will you have an awful stench but you’ll also be dealing with flies! How to get rid of cat pee smell? That’s right – it’s enzyme based cleaners which will eliminate (or minimize at least) any odors for good, plus they clean as well…really well actually….maybe too well as I found out with one of my cats. Despite my best efforts with enzyme cleaner I was never able to get into his head that the litter box was actually for cats!
Enzymatic cleaners
If you have a carpet or upholstered furniture that is soiled with cat pee, enzyme cleaners can be helpful. Pour some enzyme cleaner into the spot and let it soak for a few minutes. Wipe away the excess, then leave to dry. If the cushion is removable, allow it to dry in the sun. If this isn’t possible, cover the cushion with aluminum foil and place in the sun to dry.
After you have blotted up the liquid with a clean rag, use an enzyme cleaner. For best results, use white vinegar, which is acidic enough to break down the enzymes and get rid of cat pee smell. If the vinegar doesn’t work, use a non-enzymatic formula. Follow the instructions on the bottle. Once the enzyme cleaner has dissolved the smell, rinse the area thoroughly with cold water.
OxiClean
When your house starts smelling like cat pee, you may be wondering whether you can use OxiClean to get rid of the unpleasant odor. Oxyclean is an enzyme cleaner, so it’s very effective in removing cat pee odor. It is particularly effective in carpets and furniture cushions, since they tend to absorb the most urine. After applying the OxiClean solution to the affected area, you should allow it to work for at least thirty minutes. After that, you can vacuum or blot the excess liquid. You can repeat this process a few times. If you find that a third treatment is needed, mix three parts water and one part white vinegar. Allow it to work for five minutes, then apply the OxiClean solution to the area again.
Once you have decided to use OxiClean, you should follow the instructions on the bottle. This product is formulated for use on cat urine and feces. You should always follow the manufacturer’s instructions to get the best results. Before applying OxiClean to your cat’s litter box, test a small area first to determine if the product is effective. The longer the urine is allowed to remain on the floor, the more applications you will need to apply.
Thornell Laundry Odor Eliminator
If you’ve been struggling to get rid of cat pee smell, you’ve probably tried a number of different laundry additives. One of my favorites is Thornell Laundry Odor Eliminator, which can be added to regular detergent to combat odors. This product works well on a variety of noxious odors.
OdoBan is also good, but it contains harsh chemicals. Follow the manufacturer’s directions carefully and keep this product out of reach of children and pets.
The best odor eliminator for laundry is a product made by Thornell, the #1 provider of odor- removal products to the veterinary industry in North America. It works by saturating the affected
area with the product and working overnight to get rid of the smell. You can also use a stain- removal product on clothing, but you should test these products on a small area first to avoid causing irritation.
Vinegar
Cleaning cat pee smell is a simple task. The smell is caused by ammonia in the urine. Therefore, it is necessary to make sure you’re not getting ammonia in your house. The solution should be non-ammonia or vinegar-based. Avoid using chlorine bleach because it can damage your clothing. Instead, try OxiClean. The solution can be applied with a sponge and then refilled with cold water.
Using a vinegar-water mixture to clean cat pee smell can help you get rid of the odor. Applying the solution and blotting the area will help remove the smell. Most fabrics are safe to use with vinegar, but it is always a good idea to do a test on an area that won’t be seen. Afterward, you can apply the mixture on a more visible area of the house and see how well it works.
