Regardless of the reason why the cat leaves the urine in the wrong places, a strong and sharp smell of cat urine requires immediate removal, which although a difficult task for the owner of the cat, but still quite achievable.
Which method will be most effective for cleaning cat feces depends on a number of factors, such as, for example, the type of surface on which the stain is located and how long it has remained unnoticed. If the puddle is fresh, the first thing to do is take the paper towels and try to absorb the liquid to the maximum. The less urine remains on the carpet, sofa, linoleum, the easier it will be to remove the smell completely. Using the right pet urine remover is important here.
To understand how you can get rid of the smell of cat urine, will help to know its composition.
3 main components of urine:
- urea (sticky part, soluble in water)
- urochrome (derivative of bile pigments, color part)
- Uric acid (colorless crystals, poorly soluble in water and ethanol soluble in solutions of alkalis, hot sulfuric acid and glycerol)
A variety of products affect the first two parts mentioned above, removing the color and odor part. Crystals of uric acid often just dry up and become invisible. When they again fall under the influence of moisture, sweat or again urine, the smell returns. That is why in the “well-washed” shoes the smell of cat urine comes back after the first socks. And places repeatedly noted by the pet, smell more sharply because of the accumulation of uric acid crystals in them.
Home remedies for removing the smell of cat urine
- It should be said that home remedies are not always effective in using and require certain physical costs, but often attract people with their economic benefits.

The most undesirable way to combat the smell of cat urine is to consume chlorine-containing substances. Despite the fact that chlorine is a strong oxidant and kills microorganisms well, one should not forget about its high toxicity. We simply can harm an animal that has a more acute sense of smell than us. The use of ammonia, which is known to contain ammonia, as well as urea of cats, is highly questionable. The problem can only worsen, as in the case of applying a large amount of perfume to the stain.
