Removing Cat Urine Odor and Stains From Carpet
Use a towel to soak up any remaining cat urine before you get started by placing the towel over the cat urine and standing on it. The weight of your body will help the towel to soak up cat urine that is deep down in the carpet.
Next, pour generous amounts of baking soda onto the stain. Using a scrub brush, scrub the baking soda deep down into the carpet. No other urine and stain remover will remove the smell as effectively.
**Note** If you have not used hydrogen peroxide on your carpet successfully before, try testing the color fast ability of your carpet by pouring a small amount of hydrogen peroxide on a piece of carpet that is hidden in a closet or another spot that cannot be seen. If the hydrogen peroxide changes the color of your carpet, do not use it, only use the baking soda.
Next, pour 3% hydrogen peroxide onto the stain, completely covering it. The hydrogen peroxide should work quickly to remove the stain. You can scrub more if you think it is necessary or you can begin soaking up the mixture with a dry clean towel. This is the best cat and urine stain remover I have ever used.
Freshen Your Carpets After Removing Cat Urine Odor
Clean your carpets with your own carpet cleaner if you have one. Do not rent a carpet cleaner because they are normally so overused and dirty that your carpet may not be cleaned or freshened. If you do not own your own carpet cleaning machine, hire a professional. You will want to make sure that he is using an off the truck carpet cleaner and not a portable one. The portable kind is the same as a rental. The off the truck carpet cleaner will do a thorough job and dry quickly.
Removing Cat Urine Odor From Hardwood Floors
If you have a cat urine odor problem on your hardwood floors you are probably thinking that it will be impossible to remove. The best way to remove the odor is to sprinkle baking soda all over the hardwood floors, pushing it down into the crevices. Baking soda is very gentle and will not scratch them. Give the baking soda some time to absorb the odor. Sometimes it may take 24 hours. This is the only urine and stain remover that will work on hardwood floors without damaging it.
Next, vacuum up the baking soda. Your room will be surprisingly fresh. You will never buy a retail cat urine and stain remover again.
