Cat Urine Cleaning Products
Are you struggling with cat uring on your carpets, tile floors, sofas, couches, and more? For some
reason, those darn cats don't realize how much it affects us when they urinate on our precious items.
They can't help it and we don't want to punish them for it. Heck, sometimes you even feel like it might
be our own fault. Maybe we didn't keep the litter
box clean enough. Maybe we haven't spent enough time choosing the right food,
or keeping their water clean enough. Maybe we don't have enough litter boxes
(they say you're supposed to have more litter boxes than you have cats).
What's so special about enzymatic cat urine cleaning products?
Enzymatic urine cleaning products contain special bacteria that seek out and consume all traces of urine embedded within any water-safe material.
Here are just a few of the products we've found that can clean cat urine from all kinds of surfaces. Enzymatic products do not mask the urine order, but
instead the enzymes and bacteria digest the odor causing items.
It's important to understand that these enzymatic solutions
can require several days to work (and in some cases, several applications for those extra stubborn stains). Those several
applications may occur over several weeks (this is a permanent, but not necessarily quick fix). Also, be sure not to
"pre-treat" the area with vinegar or bleach because those chemicals can interfere with the work of the
enzymes and bacteria.
How do I locate the source of the urine odor? Where did those cats pee?
The use of a blacklight (available from most stores like Wal-Mart or K-Mart) will help you
to locate the mystery location of the stain and the source of the urine odor. Turn off the lights and walk
around with the black light near the carpet. Any offending areas will glow a dull yellow. Don't be worried
if a previously treated area glows yellow, because this is natural. The fluorescent materials don't go away
with the use enzymatic urine cleaning products.
So, what urine cleaning products are available on the market?
Regardless of who's fault it is, there are products to clean up cat urine, and any of the following products may be able to
help you resolve your cat urine issues as quickly as your cat created them.
