Cleaning cat urine from carpets
can be one of the most frustrating things a cat owner has to
do. It is easy to clean up the urine but how do you remove the
lingering odor? Also if you use the wrong products your cat may
continue to use that area and are actually attracted to it.
When cleaning cat urine form
carpets it is important to remember that the odor must be neutralized,
otherwise a cat might use that area again. Also if you use a
cleaning product that has ammonia in it, the cats may still be
attracted to that area.
When starting to clean an area
try to remove as much of the urine as possible using paper towels
or towels. Lay them over the area and actually stand on them
to get down to the carpet padding. Most of the cat urine is actually
absorbed in the carpet padding, and the actual carpet.
This is why it is important
to stand on the paper towels. Once you have soaked up enough
urine, get some carpet cleaner mixed with water to absorb into
the rug, and then soak that up too.
One of the most important step
is to use an animal odor neutralizer. Most of these cleaners
have names like Feline Odor Neutralizer. Get one of these products
and use it according to labeled directions
By using cat odor neutralizer
and avoided using an ammoniated cleaning product you are cleaning
carpets correctly to get rid of the cat urine. Spread the word
to other cat lovers.
