Three Easy Steps in Cleaning Cat Urine Stains
The odor of cat urines is one of the strongest and disgusting smells in a household. Even if you clean it, the distinct smell usually returns after a few days. Even if it seems to be so frustrating to get rid of cat urine odor from your floors or carpets, it still possible to totally eliminate the unwanted smell at home with the appropriate clean-up process. The stain’s location, size and age greatly affect the proper clean-up procedure and products to use. It’s harder to remove an old stain on carpets than fresh new stains on linoleum floors. However, both old and new stains are still removable. Here are the three basic and easy steps in removing cat urine stains that carries the disgusting urine smell.
First, upon realizing that your carpet or floors have been urinated by your cat, try to pour an unflavored soda water on the area where your cat had urinated. Only pour a very minimal amount just to prevent the cat urine from spreading. This will give you a few minutes to mix and make your homemade cleaner. Once you’re done with your cleaner, absorb the moisture from the area using a cloth diaper or terrycloth towel. You just have to press your absorbent cloth up and down to the area, not rubbing the surface for it will only spread the urine.
Second is to apply the cleaner of your preference. You can use a homemade cleaner or a bacteria or enzyme based cleaner. These products help break down into a chemical level. For homemade recipes, the common ingredients that are used to make a cleaner are baking soda, white vinegar and lemon juice. There are also commercially made products available in the market.
If you use an enzyme or bacteria-based cleaners, don’t put on any more commercially made products such as dish soap in the stained area for this will only kill the bacteria even before they try to get rid of the cat urine stains and smell. When you’re done with the application of the cleaner of your choice, let it sit for 15 minutes on homemade products and around 24 hours for bacteria and enzyme based products. Then try absorbing the moisture from the area.
And the last but not the least is to thoroughly dry up the cleaned area. Most furniture, couches and carpets, especially the padded and upholstered things at home dries up very slowly, and if stayed wet for a long time it will only rot your things. For small affected areas, you can use a hairdryer to dry up the area, but for larger stains try blotting up wetness using an extractor.
