Nothing
Says Clean the House Stronger Than Cat Urine
Cat urine is one of the strongest
odors known to mankind. It is also one of the hardest odors to get eliminate.
Short of giving the cat away and packing up your belongings to relocate, what
can you do? American Cleaning and
Restoration has a proven do-it-yourself treatment that takes common
household products you already have on hand:
- Baking Soda is the absorbing ingredient you'll find in carpet fresheners and toothpaste. Chances are you've probably got a box in your freezer and refrigerator to absorb those funky, odd smells. Remember that baking soda absorbs odor and it is a natural product that is safe on carpet and safe if Tiger gets hungry too. Baking soda starts by attracting the odors to it and then it neutralizing them. So if the urine is recent, rinse with cold water and blot it dry with paper towels then apply a generous amount to the area then rub it in as deep as you can. Once it dries, vacuum up.
- Vinegar is another do-it-all wonder product. Using apple cider vinegar or white vinegar, saturate the area where the cat has urinated. Vinegar is safe on all floor surfaces, so no worries about ruining your carpet or hardwood. In approximately one hour, the strong vinegar smell will be gone taking the urine smell with it.
- Hydrogen Peroxide is a great cleaner if the area is colorfast safe. Test a small section that isn't seen and poor straight peroxide and in about 2 hours you'll know if it is going to bleach the color out. If the color stays, then pour direct over the offending area and let it sit for about 2 hours then blot dry. This isn't as good at eliminating odors as the first 2 suggestions so you may need to repeat the process again.
If all else fails, call a
professional carpet and floor cleaning service like American Clean and Restoration.
We can provide you an estimate over the phone and schedule your service for
