Cat Urine On Your Carpet
Cat Urine On The Carpet? Oh, No…
Getting cat urine on your carpet is by no means one of the joys of pet ownership. It can be really distressing and frustrating and it is easy to get angry at kitty…
Cat urine is one of the more challenging odors to remove especially when not using proper cleaning products. When cat urine is allowed to dry in a carpet, amino acids in the urine actually bonds with the fibers of the rug.
Not only do amino acids bind with the carpet, so do salts. Salts cause a bond with an ionic charge that is increasingly difficult to dissolve the longer the urine has been on the carpet. Steam cleaning, or home made cleaners will not dissolve these strong bonds, actually steam cleaning the carpet may make the problem worse.

If you have a cat you may have to face the job of clean-up cat urine odor from carpets and you know how hard removing cat urine odor can be. Cats drink little water so their urine is very concentrated and stinking. That ammonia-like smell is so strong that it seems not possible to get rid of.

These are the sticky stuff known as Urea, Urochrome the pigments part and the odor Uric acid component.
Because cleaning cat urine is quite a task you might want to learn diverse ways to get rid of it.
Don't use cleaners that contain ammonia.
Pass up using ordinary household cleaning products such as carpet, surface, and upholstery cleaners. These products might camouflage the odor of cat urine, but they won't remove it. If you use cleaning products that hold ammonia, it will only magnetize the cat back to the same spots because ammonia smells just like cat urine. Your cat will still be able to smell the urine, which tells the cat that it's a good spot to urinate.
