What is the best way to seal concrete in order to deal with cat pee?

Question

What product works for this for concrete floors in the basement of my house?

Answer 1

Get rid of the urine odor first. Pick up some stuff called Nature's Miracle from a pet supply store like Petco or Petsmart. This stuff has enzymes in it that breaks down organic material like urine and feces stains and gets rid of the odor.

I'm not kidding. This stuff really gets rid of the pet urine odor if you apply it thoroughly and give it time to dry.

Spray it on the floor kind of heavy to really wet the floor. Don't skimp because the urine probably soaked into the concrete and you have to make sure this stuff gets down into it too. So really soak the floor well with the Nature's Miracle. Also, you may need to spray it into the corners and along the bottom of any walls in case the urine ran under the wall.

As the floor dries, you may notice that the smell gets stronger, but that will go away when it dries. If your basement is damp then it may not dry unless you circulate air down there with fans. It may take several days to dry.

After it is dry, if there is still some odor then the Nature's Miracle didn't get down completely into where the urine was. You should apply it again and really soak the floor well.

After it dries and the odor is gone then you can use any one of a number of concrete floor sealers that you can get at the building supply store.

One thing about the Zinser sealer is that it is white. It is great for sealing in odors, but you will need to paint over it with a colored concrete floor paint. If you don't want to pain the floor then you should not use Zinser or similar sealer/primers.

Answer 2

A primer called Zinser. There are several types. Try using the shellac based Zinser for the best results. But scrub the floor first, rinse well and let the concrete completely dry before painting on the primer. Read the directions well.

Answer 3

First you have to get rid of the cat or keep it outside. It will continue to pee in the area whether or not you seal the concrete floor. Clean the area with a solution of bleach and hot water. Then you're going to want to get vinegar ro take away any left over order. Good luck!

Answer 4
