Removing cat urine stains is time-consuming.
Cat urine has a very pungent odor that can be difficult to remove from carpeting or furniture. It is important to remove every trace of the smell so the cat does not continually soil the same area. The smell of cat urine can also attract other animals and encourage them to "mark their territory." You can clean cat urine with a mixture of baking soda, dish soap, and peroxide. These ingredients are safer and cheaper than using harsh chemicals on fabrics.
Instructions
1. Blot the urine with a dry paper towel if the stain is fresh. Soak up as much urine as you can with the paper towels. Do not rub it into the fabric.
2. Pour an equal amount of white vinegar and warm water into a spray bottle. Gently shake the bottle to mix the ingredients.
3. Spray the urine stain with the vinegar and water mixture. The stain should be saturated with the solution. Vinegar will neutralize the scent of the urine.
4. Blot the stain with dry paper towels until the stain is nearly dry.
5. Mix 1/4 cup of hydrogen peroxide with 1 tsp. liquid dish soap in a bowl.
6. Sprinkle a handful of baking soda onto the urine stain.
7. Pour the hydrogen peroxide and dish soap mixture onto the urine stain over the baking soda.
8. Work the mixture into the fabric, using a scrub brush. The purpose is to get the ingredients deep into the fibers of the fabric.
9. Let the urine stain dry overnight. Vacuum the stain when it is totally dry to remove the remaining baking soda. If there is dry soap residue on the stain, use a damp towel to clean up the fabric and let it dry.
10. Spray the urine stain with an aerosol product designed to neutralize or cover up pet odor.
