We get rid of the smell of cat urine in the apartment in different ways

When a cat appears in an apartment, he must be immediately accustomed to the tray. However, this is not always possible, for various reasons. Then the pet starts to shit in the wrong place. Now we will analyze: how to remove the smell of cat urine?

How to get rid of the cat urine smell in the apartment?

On the carpet

The carpet is a specific fabric. When removing liquid from its surface, you must adhere to certain rules:

First, the liquid that has not been absorbed must be removed. For this, it is better to use dry wipes or dry disposable towels. For the best effect, you need to create pressure on the carpet. In this case, you will squeeze out most of the urine, and then it will be absorbed into the tissue. You need to try to prevent urine from spreading over a large area. This can be achieved by driving everything in one place (preferably to the center).

Now you can start using third-party tools. For such fabric, it is better to use gentle preparations. It is better to refuse from bleach (in common people “bleach”). An excellent option would be to use solutions that do not contain ammonia. The aroma of this substance will further attract the animal.

The best remedies to remove the smell of cat urine from carpet:

• Air freshener. They have a pleasant smell and do not contain caustic components.
• Cologne. Draw your attention to! This is not a perfume. The concentration of odorous substances in this product does not exceed 5-7%
• Essential oils. They are part of perfumery products. Perfectly interrupts the smell of urine.

Attention! In no case should you interrupt the smell of cat urine with perfume. This will not get rid of the urine smell; it will only mix them up. After such a procedure, the air in the room will be completely spoiled!

The product must be applied to the area with urine. It is necessary to focus on the center of the place. This will leave a strong smell that will scare the animal away in the future.

On the couch

Remove most of the liquid with dry wipes. In this case, it is strictly forbidden to make efforts to remove the liquid! The urine will simply be absorbed into the fabric of the sofa. And then it will be very difficult to eliminate the smell from urine. Just put a couple of napkins on top. And then use substances to get rid of the smell.

Here, too, coarse means are inappropriate. They are the same as for the carpet.
Means for getting rid:

• Essential oil.
• Air freshener.
• Eau de toilette or cologne.

How to wash off cat urine?

At the pet store, you can buy artificial substances that remove stains and remove urine odors from clothes and furniture.

Odor neutralizing agents

1. "Dezosan". An excellent remedy for removing the smell of cat urine.Its advantage among competitors is that it does not just mask the smell, but completely destroys it. The agent reacts with creatinine and then breaks down into simpler elements. (Creatinine is a substance found in mammalian urine. The source of the unpleasant odor is in urine). Another plus is that the product can be filled into a washing vacuum cleaner.
2. "Mister Fresh". Has an unpleasant and pungent odor, but copes well with this type of pollution. The main positive feature of the product is that it is suitable for cleaning any surface. For example, linoleum, furniture, and so on.
3. "Urine-off". Even stubborn odors are neutralized. The difference from competitors is that the substance is in the form of a spray. This "state of aggregation" is much more convenient than ordinary bottles. The product is sprayed evenly over the entire surface. The label says that the product is perfect for furniture.
4. “OdorGone”. Suitable for practical people. The substance is in the bottle, but this container is enough for 15 square meters (!). This is the best positive feature of the remedy.
5. BioSource Solutions. This product contains elements that react with molecules that form a stain on clothing. Ideal for clothing. After use, you need to wash things well to remove any chemical residues.

Folk remedies for getting rid of odor

There are a lot of folk remedies for removing the smell of cat urine. Let's take a look at some of them.

Vinegar

To wash the stain, we need: a spray bottle, table vinegar, water, an unnecessary rag.

• First you need to make an aqueous vinegar solution.
• We dilute it with water (ratio 1: 3).
• Pour liquid into the bottle.
• Spray the vinegar solution over the surface where the urine is.
• We are waiting for a couple of minutes for the vinegar to react with urine.
• Wipe off any acid residues.

Attention! Use pure vinegar to remove stains and odors only on very rare occasions. If this solution is sprayed over the carpet, it will most likely change its color, leaving a characteristic stain.

Baking soda and hydrogen peroxide

Baking soda is best used when the puddle is still fresh. Sodium bicarbonate - perfectly absorbs moisture and is an adsorbent.

Here's what to do:

• Spread the substance over the entire surface of the “spoiled” area, in a thick layer.
• Wait some time (30 minutes is enough).
• Remove powder from the surface.
• Repeat the procedure one more time.
• Wash the fabric under hot water.

Additional Information! To remove soda from the site, you should not resort to using a vacuum cleaner. Particles of "wet" powder will remain in it. And then the unpleasant smell will not come from the "puddle", but from your device.

For best results, hydrogen peroxide can be used. To do this, add to the spray bottle:

• 200 ml of water.
• 200 ml of hydrogen peroxide solution.
• A little detergent.

We spray this liquid onto a thin layer of soda. The result is a lot of foam that needs to be rubbed into the carpet (furniture, clothing). Then remove excess residue and rinse the fabric well.

Iodine

Use iodine to remove urine stains, only on dark surfaces. Otherwise, the fabric will be damaged.

Recipe for making stain and odor remover liquid:

• You will need: iodine, water, spray bottle.
• Add a few drops of iodine to the water bottle (specifically - 10 drops per 100 ml of water).
• Pour the contents into a spray bottle.
• Spray the liquid evenly over the stain.
• After a couple of hours, rinse the fabric well.

Lemon acid

This acid, oddly enough, is found in lemon. Since it is rather weak, there is no need to dilute it.

• Simply squeeze the lemon juice into a container. If there is no lemon in the house, then dilute 20 ml of citric acid granules in 100 ml of water.
• Pour the acid from the liquid into a spray bottle.
• Apply the product to the surface.
• After half an hour, repeat the third point.
• After another half hour, rinse well, and preferably wash the fabric.

You can use the remedy if the cat ruins the mattress. You can also use many other folk remedies. For example, laundry soap, potassium permanganate, alcohol or vodka, and so on. However, we have talked about the most effective methods.

Special equipment

Air purifiers

The essence of this device is that air from the room is drawn into the gadget, passes through the filter, and then blown out clean and odorless. The cleaner is quite expensive, but if you look well, you can find budget options with a price of up to 2,000 rubles.

One of the disadvantages is the constant consumption of electricity.

Disc odor neutralizer

The most budgetary option in this category. He does not need batteries, and, in principle, electricity. The device itself is made of non-woven material and impregnated with various essential oils (pine, eucalyptus, and so on). All you need to do for the disk to start working, just put this gadget near the "scene".
Of the minuses, a small radius of action can be distinguished.

Electric odor neutralizer

It differs among its competitors in that it has a rather wide range of action (on average 200 m2). Doesn't make noise, unlike an air purifier.

Cons: price. The cost of such equipment can reach tens of thousands of rubles or more.

Ozonizer

A device that makes ozone O3 from ordinary oxygen O2. It is used to cleanse rooms from bacteria, as well as to eliminate unpleasant odors. Prices for this device range from a few thousand to 20,000 or more.

Cons: after ozonizing the room, it needs to be ventilated. Also, the room should not contain things made of rubber. Ozone negatively affects their appearance.

Prophylaxis

After you get rid of the unpleasant smell, you need to make sure that the cat no longer shits in the wrong place. First, let's look at the reasons.

Why doesn't the cat go to the litter box?

• The container is not clean enough.
• The cat marks the apartment (as they do in nature).
• The cat does not like the container and in every possible way avoids the tray.

It is necessary to make sure that all these points are resolved. And then the cat will not shit in the wrong place.

• Rinse the litter box well and then refill with new toilet litter.
• In this case, only hormonal changes can help. Go to a veterinary clinic.
• Buy a new, more suitable tray.
