Here are some tips on how to wash off cat urine so that the house does not stink:
- Remove the stain as soon as possible. The sooner you remove the stain, the easier it will be to clean it.
- Collect as much urine as possible with a paper towel or napkin. Do not smear the stain or it will become larger.
- Moisten the stain with a solution of 1 part white vinegar and 3 parts water. Vinegar will help break down the urine and remove the smell.
- Let the solution sit on the stain for 15-20 minutes. Wash off the solution with water and wipe the area with a clean cloth. If the smell remains, repeat the procedure.
You can also try to get rid of the smell of cat urine with the help of lemon. Squeeze the juice from the lemon and add a teaspoon of salt. Apply to the area. Leave the solution for 20 minutes. Wash it off with a damp cloth.
If the stain is large or old, you may need to use a stronger cleaner. You can try using an enzyme-based or a chlorine-based cleaner. However, before using any product, be sure to test it on an inconspicuous area of the surface to make sure it won't damage it.
After you have washed the stain, be sure to ventilate the room to remove the smell. You can open the windows or turn on the fan.
