Home Remedy Recipe Cat Urine Smell and Stain Remover

Ingredients

Baking Soda
White Vinegar
Dishwashing Detergent
Hydrogen Peroxide


Directions:

1. If the carpet is newly soiled, first absorb as much of the cat urine as possible using paper towels or an old towel. Place towels over the cat urine patch and tread on them so as to absorb as much wetness as possible. Repeat with dry towels until no more moisture can be absorbed.

If the cat urine has dried and you are not sure where the soiled area is you can use a black light (pictured above) to detect it. In a darkened room the black light will pick up cat urine and other stains. Hand held black lights can be purchased for between $15 to $25

2. Next, wet the area with a solution of 50% white vinegar and 50% water. Make sure it penetrates the fibres deep down. Allow it to dry. A fan can be used to assist drying. The acidity of the vinegar will neutralize the ammonia in the cat urine. It will NOT remove all the cat urine smell.

3.When it's dry, apply baking soda over the affected area and drizzle it with hydrogen peroxide mixed with a teaspoon of dishwashing detergent. Work it in with your a scrubbing brush or fingers to dissolve the baking soda and work it down into the carpet. Allow it to dry. Then vacuum.

Important. Never use ammonia or ammonia-based products on the carpet. The smell may attract the cat to that area and will encourage cats to urinate in the area

Additional hint

Hydrogen Peroxide mixed with dishwashing detergent will remove red wine stains from carpets and fabric like magic

Answer 4

white (distilled) vinegar either neat then cleaned with warm water or vinegar mixed with warm water.... dog urine you can usually eradicate, cat urine no. It has an agent in it that makes it almost impossible to get rid of. If it has gone through the carpet and into the floorboards you won't be able to get rid of it!

Answer 5

You can try using a natural enzyme to break down the urine to get rid of it like vinegar by sitting a bowl by the odor and let it absorb or you can use a mixture of water and vinegar and spray it on, you can also goto lowes and by stuff to break down the enzymes in the urine, either way you have to get a product that will break down the urine enzymes to totally kill the odor.

Answer 6

You can't since it is an acidic liquid and has seeped into the fibers. You can cover up the smell, but that will only disguise part of the smell and you will still be stuck with a pissy carpet and a cat that doesn't care about a clean home.

Dn't torture yourself any longer, give the cat away and enjoy your home for a change.
