How to get rid of cat pee smell?
Let's face it, one of the most challenging aspects of having a cat is dealing with the pungent smell of cat urine. We all know that even the best-behaved felines can have accidents or spray, leaving behind an unpleasant aroma that can linger in our homes. But don't worry, I've got you covered with some easy tips on getting rid of that stinky cat wee smell and keeping your home smelling fresh and clean.
First things first - act fast! The key to eliminating cat pee odour is to clean it up as quickly as possible. Don't procrastinate, otherwise the smell will only worsen over time!
Next, ditch the regular household cleaners and invest in an enzyme cleaner that breaks down the proteins in the urine. This will help to effectively eliminate the odour, so make sure you follow the instructions on the cleaner and give it enough time to work its magic. Alternatively, you can use the good old vinegar with water by mixing it 1:1. Don't use warm water as it will only help the stain settle in deeper. Avoid using products with ammonia, as your cat will be more likely to return to the area in the future.
Soak and blot. For fresh urine stains, soak up as much of the urine as possible with paper towels or a clean cloth. Then, apply the enzyme cleaner and let it soak in for the recommended time. Finally, mop up the cleaner and the remaining urine with a clean cloth.
Use baking soda. Baking soda is a natural deodorizer that can help absorb the smell of cat pee. Sprinkle baking soda over the affected area, let it sit for at least 15 minutes, then vacuum it up. Keep in mind that the longer the baking soda stays on, the more odour it will absorb. For a more thorough clean, try leaving baking soda on overnight and vacuum it up in the morning.
Keep litter boxes clean. One of the best ways to prevent cat pee smell is to keep your litter boxes clean. Scoop them daily and completely change the litter every few weeks. If you have multiple cats, it's recommended to have one more litter box than the number of cats you have.
If you notice your cat peeing outside the litter box, protect the area with a reusable waterproof pad. PeapodMats are an excellent choice - they're reliable and so easy to care for!
Air out your home often. Open windows and doors to let fresh air circulate throughout your home. This can help dissipate any lingering smells and keep your home smelling fresh.
Use odour-neutralising products. There are many odour-neutralising products available that can help eliminate the smell of cat urine. Look for products specifically designed for pet odours (like enzyme cleaner) and follow the instructions carefully.
8. Protect the area with waterproof mats. Sometimes after all your hard work to get rid of the odour, your cat might still continue to urinate in the same area. It might happen because they can still smell the urine and they come back to mark the area again. If you notice that your cat urinates in the same spot, use PeapodMats. These washable bed pads stay in place and are easy to look after. You can wash them with your regular laundry, air or tumble dry and just like that, they're ready to be used again and again! Protect your carpet and furniture, save time and money that you would otherwise spend on endlessly cleaning the area!
