Being a cat owner myself I know how hard it can be to eliminate cat urine stains from your carpet.
But it does not have to be a difficult and time-consuming experience for you!
As a result of owning a pet service business for years, I've learned a thing or two. Now I'm going to share with you exactly what I tell my clients to do on how to get rid of cat urine smell as well as the stains from your carpet.
Getting Recent Cat Urine Out Of Carpeting
I've learned that simple is better than complicated when it comes to removing cat urine from carpet. Here is what I've learned from my own experiences dealing with not only my cats, but my clients cats as well.
#1 - Soak up the urine by applying newspapers or paper towels. Use downward pressure so that it can absorb as much of the urine as you possibly can. Try to place the paper towels or newspaper below the carpeting if the urine has soaked into the carpet padding. Continue applying the paper towel or newspaper till the area is dried.
#2 - Begin using fresh water to clean the spot and then do the procedure over again until the stain is fully gone. Yes, plain water will usually do the trick without any harsh chemicals.
#3 - (This is optional) - If you wish to guarantee that the odor is definitely eliminated, I would treat the location using an enzyme cleaning agent, which is a non-toxic cleaner. You can order this cleaner by just searching on the internet. An enzyme cleaning agent can get rid of every odor generating bacteria that could still be present.
And you are done. Wasn't that simple!
Eliminating Old Cat Urine Marks Out Of Your Carpeting
Older marks are actually somewhat more challenging to get out for the reason that stains will often have set in. Still, it is a good idea to remove these since your cat has got a wonderful sense of smell and the odor there may entice them to use the bathroom on the very same place again.
#1 - You need to eliminate any sort of cleaning products you possibly have utilized before by using a carpet cleaning machine on the stains. You want to do this due to the fact that those cleaning chemicals can decrease the effectiveness of the enzymatic cleaner you'll use next. Apply only just clean water in the carpet cleaning machine. Avoid too much water over the stain as it might make it go towards the carpet padding below.
#2 - Using the enzymatic product of your choice, apply the cleaner in the stains until it's finally gone.
#3 - When you don't notice the spot, you'll need a black light flashlight to help you examine this area for all remnants of cat urine. If cat urine is still there, it'll glow a purple color under the black light. In the event there continues to be cat urine present, proceed over the spot another time with the enzymatic cleaner to get rid of the stains.
Your carpeting will now look great without those ugly cat urine stains marking it up.
And by getting rid of every spot, and above all, the odor from your carpeting, you can expect to considerably decrease the potential for your cat going to the bathroom on those same areas over again.
