How To Clean Cat Urine

Wondering how to clean cat urine? It's a common dilemma. The scent
of cat urine is strong, its stains are vivid, and it's very difficult to
remove from carpet, flooring, upholstery, or anywhere else. It seems
impossible, so what do you do?

Well, there are several techniques you can follow, but first you need to
find the right product. Because cat diets are rich in protein, their urine
has an especially strong odor and is likely to produce noticeable stains.
A good cleaning product will neutralize the proteins in the cat urine.

Regular household cleaning products, such as carpet-cleaners, won't
do the trick. No matter what, avoid using ammonia or ammonia-based
products. Ammonia smells similar to cat urine, so these products will
only encourage the cat to urinate in the area again.

Only products made specifically for cleaning cat urine will do. These
products fall into one or more of the following three categories:
enzymatic, bacterial, and chemical.

Choose a cleaning product that has enzymes to neutralize the odor
and/or bacteria that essentially eat the elements in the urine that
cause the odor. There are chemical-based products that will eliminate
the odor, but you have to be careful. Some are better than others.

Cat urine cleaning products are available at a number of places--online
stores, pet supply stores, your veterinarian's office, and even a few
grocery or discount stores. These stores can offer a number of
different brands and varieties.

There are several factors to consider when choosing a cat
urine cleaning product. Here are a few:

- The age of the stain. Is the stain fresh, or it is old? A fresh stain is
much easier to clean than an old, or dried, stain. Some products work
better on fresh stains, while others are designed to work on either
fresh or old stains.

- The location of the stain. Did the cat urinate on carpet, hardwood
flooring, linoleum, or tile? How about upholstery or clothing? Some
cleaners only work safely on specific surfaces.

- Spraying vs. elimination. Did the cat spray to mark territory, or did
he urinate simply as a means of eliminating waste? Some products
have synthetic pheromones that calm the cat and discourage spraying.

You have the basic information, so now you're ready for more. Of course,
there are plenty of other factors to consider when choosing a cat urine
cleaning product. And once you've chosen the product, you want to make
sure you use the proper techniques--specifically, how to clean cat urine.
