Removing Cat Urine

5 Steps to Removing Cat Urine

If you have a cat then its almost a guarantee at some point the kitty has had an accident on the furniture.  In my own case its rarely an accident as the little rascal thinks he is marking his territory.  Removing cat urine stains and odor from upholstery is no fun so I wanted to give you a few tips that I’ve found helpful when I am cleaning up around my own house.

You’ll need a few household items and some type of store bought cleaner to get started.  Your list will include paper towels, a sponge, white vinegar, rubber gloves, and some type of over the counter cleaner.

Step 1 – Blot the stain with paper towels removing as much of the stain as possible. (if fresh)

Step 2 – Dampen your sponge with cool water and sponge the pet stained area.

Step 3 – Blot the area with paper towels again to remove excess moisture.

Step 4 – Mix 1 tbsp of white vinegar and 2 cups of warm water.  Dab the mixture on the stain.

Step 5 – Sprinkle your store bought odor remover on the area.

Those five simple steps are pretty good at removing cat urine more times than not but the only way to really fix the issue is to either get rid of the cat or stop it from going outside the litter box.  Since we both know the cat is staying that means we need a way to get the cat to tinkle in the litter box otherwise we are going to be removing cat urine from our furniture on a regular basis.
