Get Cat Urine Smell Out Of Carpet - Quick Recipe To Clean Urine

For those of you that are finding that thier cats are urinating everywhere then this post is for you!

What you need to understand is that just washing the object can be a pain and sometimes you are left with stains or even a smell that lingers.

So what do you do?

Read the following to find out how you can get cat urine smell out of carpet....

Step 1.  If the cat has recently urinated on the carpet, first absorb as much of the cat urine as possible using paper towels or an old towel. Place clean paper towels over the cat urine area and tread on them so as to absorb as much of the urine as possible. Repeat with dry towels until no more moisture can be absorbed.
Areas of cat urine that have dried and previously gone undetected can be found with the aid of a black light. The cat urine stains will fluoresce under the ultra violet light in a darkened room. Hand held black lights are quite inexpensive, usually costing between $15 - $25. To save the expense of a black light you can always use your nose to detect the source of the odor. Put your nose down close to the carpet and sniff away.

Step 2.   Next, wet the area with a solution of 50% white vinegar and 50% water. Make sure you use enough of the solution to  penetrate the fibers deep down. After the vinegar treatment dry off the carpet as much as possible. You can assist drying by blotting with paper towels as described above. If you own a wet/dry vacuum extractor use that to remove excess moisture.

Step 3.  Apply a handful of baking soda over the affected area. Mix a quarter of a cup of 3% hydrogen peroxide with a teaspoon of liquid dishwashing detergent and drizzle this solution over the baking soda. Alternatively you can use a spray bottle for the hydrogen peroxide solution. (Do not use caustic detergent that you put in a dishwasher) Work it well into the carpet with a scrubbing brush, tooth brush or your fingers. Allow to dry. Once completely dry vacuum up the dried baking soda. Use a hard bristled brush to loosen up the baking soda if necessary. You can assist drying with a heater or a fan.

That's all there is to it. It's as simple as that. 1-2-3 cat pee smell gone. It really does work.

Caution: Do not use hydrogen peroxide that is stronger than 3% or stronger than 10 Volume. Bleaching may occur on some carpets with stronger solutions. A spot test in an inconspicuous area is advised.

Cat Urinating In House - A Quick Look Into The Matter....

So why do cats urinate?


Cat urination is a normal way of life, just like any other animal and being on this planet, what goes in must come out somehow.

Reasons cats pee


There are many reasons why your cat will urinate...

• Mark their territory

Cats are very territorial animals and to mark their territory they may pee everywhere and anywhere as a mark to say "this is my area"

• As a calling card

Some cats do a type of urination called spraying where they stand up, back up to a vertical object and release a jet or urine on it. This is like a calling card that is nose height for other cats to tell them "I was here".

• Infection

Some cats will urinate because they have an infection. Urinary tract infections are common in cats and can be the reason your cat is urinating everywhere. The first thing you should do is take your cat to the vet to double check that they don't have the infection, don't worry if they do as this is easily treatable.

If your cat doesn't have an infection the next step for you is to figure out why your pet is marking/spraying in the house and the next few posts will help you figure how to stop cat urinating in house.
