what removes the smell of cat poop?

Question

We adopted a cat yesterday. He has been using the litterbox but he has been having diarhea and the poop smell stays in my room. What can I use to get rid of the smell, not just cover it up.

its 4 the air not a surface, and it isn't urine it is doo-doo

I'm not gonna remove him just because he has dirhea, he did "it" in the litter box

it is the poop trust me. I scooped it into a bag and whew that stank. I got all of the poop out, put baking soda in, and I am going to get Febreeze or that "simple Green" stuff(or whatever it's called)

Answer 1

Try baking soda or scented cat litter. But it won't stop the smell completely- nothing does- but that can certanly help. Also try freshening the air with fabreeze :)
Good luck

Answer 2

OHHH! Yes, cats always use litter boxes, or plants, if you have any get rid of them. There is absolutely nothing you can do to get rid of poop odor. If you scoop it out right away, that's the only way. What you are smelling is probably pee. A cat's urine is so strong. Sadly you will find yourself getting use to it and you won't even smell it anymore but anyone that walks in your house will. I am a cat lover, grew up with cats my whole life. I moved 5 months ago to a place where I can let my two babies outside/inside. They were completely inside before. They love going out and prefer it to the nasty litter box. I keep a litter box in the garage for them incase they don't want to go "all the way out" it seldom gets used. My house smells like home and my cats are happy. Short story is - you'll never be rid of the smell - Lysol or Oust works the best for only for a couple of hours.

Congrats on your new family member. This is a typical problem that occurs with the stress of change with a new kitten. It WILL improve.

Once you have removed the offending BM, the odor is caused by molecules remaining in the air. The odor is removed by the replacement of those molecules by "air exchange." You can create negative pressure to remove the existing air in the room by blocking the air conditioning intake, leaving the vent open and opening a window. This will rapidly exchange the air. You can also do this with a fan set up to "pull" the air out of the room and exchange it with clean air. The rate of air exchange is dependent on the air movement and the cubic feet (that is, how high is the celing).

This is assuming you have actually removed all of the offending BM. If the odor remains after the air is exchanged, this is a clue that you may not have found all the BM. A cat with diarrhea may, for example, leave drop or two outside the litter box that was not initially obvious. Your nose is your best guide. For clean-up, I recommend Simple Green diluted as recommended, avoiding perfumed cleaners that mask smells.

Hope this helps.

Put baking soda in the litter box, mix it with the litter. Sounds like your cat needs to go the vet. But keeping the litter box clean is the easiest way to keep the smell out

Answer 5

You can try first by getting the cat box out of your room and puttig it .....let's say the laundry room, if you are in am apartment and don't have a lundry room, thne try a spare room.
You can use cat litter deoderizer stuff by arm and hammer, sprinkle some in the box every time you clean it out, and clean the box daily.
Good luck, if she had diarhea maybe you ought to take him into the vet and if he is old enough have him nuetered as soon as you can otherwise not only will the poo bother you but him spraying all over will drive you mad. That's a smell you can't get out. And he will continuously do it.

Answer 6

The strong smell could be from the fact your cat has diarrhea. Once this clears up, you shouldn't smell anything if you clean the litter pan on a regular basis. We have a cat and you cannot tell as far as smell goes. Also, are you using scented or unscented litter? This could definitely make a difference as well.

I hope this helps because once the smell is clears up, I am sure you find your new companion very affectionate and not so smelly. Good luck!

Answer 7

Steam clean the spot where the cat pooped with Bissell Pet Stain Remover and then spray the room with Febrezze Air Freshener. It worked for us when we got the puppy that had that problem. Good Luck:)

Answer 8

Remove the poop and clean<.< If there's still smell it's obviously not clean. Now urine on the other hand... It's time for new floors..

Answer 9

I have 2 cats and use Arm & Hammer Litterbox Deodorizer.
