How to eliminate the smell of cat pee

The cat's pee has a particularly unpleasant, pungent and persistent odor, difficult to eliminate, especially in places where the cat is usually in need.

Completely eliminating the smell of pee from male cats within the litter box is practically impossible: over time, cat litter tends to absorb odors and, even if we regularly clean the litter of our cat, after a few years we will have to replace it.

Different is the discourse of the needs that are made by the cat outside the litter box: if your four-legged friend has soiled carpets, sofas, beds or similar , it is not only possible to eliminate the smell of pee, even with natural remedies, but it is essential: eliminating the smell of pee is in fact necessary to prevent the cat from getting dirty in the same place again .

First of all, sprinkle the place where the cat has soiled with baking soda powder mixed with five drops of mint or malaleuca essential oil: the baking soda will absorb the pee from the fabric and, together with the essential oils, will help to eliminate the smell.

After fifteen minutes, remove the baking soda and proceed with the normal washing of the fabric .

To wash sofas that cannot be removed and seat upholstery, mattresses and carpets that cannot be put in the washing machine, consider using steam, an ecological and natural method for cleaning and sanitizing fabrics thanks to high temperatures.

If you still smell pee after washing, try spraying a solution of water and vinegar : be careful not to apply vinegar to delicate fabrics that could be damaged.

If instead the pee has only dirty the floor, dry it and then wash the floor with water and vinegar so that the cat does not perceive the smell and is less likely to soil it again in that place.

Why does the cat dirty from the litter box?

Normally cats learn to soil litter from a very young age and, if sterilized, they almost never get dirty at home because they do not feel the need to mark the territory.

However, it may happen that in certain situations, the cat will pee on carpets, sofas or mattresses : unfortunately the smell of cat piss from the tissues is particularly unpleasant and persistent and the cat tends to be recurrent and to continue to do the needs in the same place, making cleaning attempts futile .

So first you need to understand why the cat needs outside the litter box : it generally happens when the cat is stressed . If, for example, you have recently moved, if a new animal has arrived at home, if you have moved the food or litter, changed the type of litter or if the litter is dirty, the cat can express its disappointment by doing the needs where not should .

Try to discover the reason for the cat's discomfort and to restore the animal's well-being . If the cat is not sterilized it is very likely that it will get dirty in the house and is difficult to resolve, except through sterilization .
