Cat Urine Smell

Archive for November, 2008

My room mate and I have cats that like to urinate by our front door and it smells horrible. Is there a way we can get rid of the smell and hopefully stop the cats from urinating there?

Thank you for your answers!!! However, the cats aren't ours, the cats that are urinating are the ones from outside and they urinate on our concrete entry way. We live upstairs in an Apt. Why would they go up there?

If it's not carpet, use bleach. Nothing will get rid of the smell as well as bleach. But be careful, there is a lot of ammonia in cat urine, and it WILL REACT with the bleach so don't use the bleach if the area is enclosed. If the area is carpeted, you will need to get some enzyme cleanser from the pet store. There are products sold that are supposed to keep cats away, but I have never had any satisfaction from any of them. Your best bet is to get a water gun and ambush it a few times.

As to why they do it, it's because they are cats, and they do what they want.

cat urine removal

Buy a new carpet and kill the bloody cat.

how do you get hardwood floors soaked with cat urine to let go of the moisture and smell?

Revised:

Wipe down floors with vinger. I would blot not rub or use paper towels to lift the liquids.

Note:Cat urine glows under black light..will help you to see all the areas that need treating. Check the entire property walls baseboards and if you have a basment look from the basement.

I would lay down a mixture of baking soda and cat litter.
remove and redo…….final application just baking soda,cover with news paper let set up over nite,repeat if necessary.
Go with bacterial/enzyme products.I listed a few below.

I would still absorb as much as you can up..in the end even after drying the crystals are left and the bacteria has to die…
the application of a combined bacterial enzyme product will help.

Note:might need to repeat with baking soda during high moisture days. The floors may actually sweat cat urine…

Might as well purchase large boxes of backing soda from what your post says(soaked)

This may take time and reapplications in the end I hope that works otherwise subflooring and frame flooring may be damaged and removal is the last option.

Good luck..
