How To Clean Cat Urine

1. The Facts:

   Various chemical salts like urea, urochrome and uric acid crystals form the basic ingredients of cat urine. {mosimage }The uric acid crystals can become a major problem area when reactivated in humid weather. Its overpowering smell is as much a problem as the unsightly spots which can turn yellow with time.

2. Supplies:

   Few supplies that should be kept handy while cleaning cat urine are a good quality enzyme cleaner like odournix, gloves without which working on pet urine could be extremely unhygienic, spray water bottle, and lot of paper towel to soak the wetness. But remember not to use harsh brushes as this could work in the urine further more and pose a much larger problem, especially on carpeted surfaces.

3. What to Do:

   Start off by donning gloves and rinsing the urinated area with normal water to remove excess. Then blot up the moisture with paper towels and further work in the enzyme cleaner. After the treatment rinse or clean the affected area properly.

4. Special Considerations:

   In case of old urine stains you might need a black light to mark the area. This is easily available at novelty stores at approximately $10. Also take care not to ever use ammonia based cleaners for the purpose as their smell further attracts the cat. Also in case of padded or foamy areas you might need to change the padding if your kitty has used it for more than once.

5. Other Tips:

   Cats are very sensitive animals and in case your cat is spraying around there might be an emotional need you need to address. It could be feeling insecure or threatened. Furthermore many physical elements like a dirty litter box could be prompting your cat to urinate elsewhere, so it is extremely important to clean its litter box twice daily. Also provide personal litter boxes in case you have a multi-pet household. Cats are possessive by nature and don't like to share their bowls, litter boxes and such stuff. If all else fails then you can try changing the litter box - like getting a wooden or disposable paper boxes for your pet.

6. Expense:

   The inconvenience is more than the expense. But it is definitely suggested to invest in good cat urine cleaner which ranges from $10 - $30. This is certainly worth the preservation of your expensive carpet or sofa.
