How to Clean Cat Urine

Orange cleaning products will clean up anything. And cats don’t like the smell, so they probably won’t go in that spot again as long as the smell is there. Just don’t use too much or the cat will get sick from sniffing around it.

Cat pee smells of ammonia, the cat will smell the cleaned area and think that must be the right place to go.

Blot up as much of the urine as you can with paper towels, then cover the whole wet area with a thick layer of plain table salt. The salt will soak up the urine you can’t blot. Once it gets crusty, vacuum up the salt.

They sell them in the pet department at most stores, and some of the cleaners have a scent added that will keep your cat from going there again once you’ve cleaned it. Pet specific spot cleaners are also safe to use around cats and kids, so you’re not spraying deadly poison all over the carpet.

So far the best one I’ve used is the foaming kind in a spray can, which comes with a built on carpet brush, but Woolite makes a spray that works pretty well too. First soak up all the liquid, use paper towels or newspaper and stand on it if you have to, then follow the directions on the carpet cleaner to treat the spot.

Directions: wet generously the affected area with 50% water and 50% white vinegar, let dry. Next, apply a liberal amount of baking soda, and drizzle it with a quater cup of hydrogen peroxide with a teaspoon of dish washing detergent. work that in with a scrub brush, let dry then vacuum.

Turn off all the lights and use a blacklight to find pet stains.
