How to Remove Dried Cat Urine From The Carpet

First, let's take a look at why this happens in the first place. Cats are known for marking their territory by spraying urine where they feel comfortable, so if there is a new scent coming from another room in your house, perhaps something unpleasant has been left behind. When cats have an urge to mark their territory, they will spray anywhere but always in an area that they feel most comfortable doing so in. This means that they may not only spray around their litter box but also on other surfaces like furniture or carpets as well. When this happens, the smell can linger for quite some time especially if it is left unattended for any length of time.


This article will teach you everything you need to know about how to remove cat urine from the carpet. And if you don’t have access to a professional cleaning crew, here’s what you can do yourself to help clean up those nasty pet peeves. First, you need to identify the location of the dried cat urine. Once you have identified the location of the dried cat urine, here are the things that you should try to get rid of it.


1. Use Vinegar

Another simple solution is to use vinegar. Pour half a cup of white vinegar into a spray bottle, and fill up the rest of the way with water. Spray the vinegar onto the spot and let it sit for about 10 minutes. After that, blot the area dry with paper towels. When you come home the next day, vacuum out the site again. Repeat this step every few days until the smell goes away.


3. Scrub Away

The third option is to scrub away the odor. In a clean bowl, mix one part hydrogen peroxide with three parts water. The liquid should be at room temperature. Dip a clean toothbrush in the solution and gently rub over the stain. Rinse off the brush immediately afterward. Do this process once a week until the odor disappears.


4. Use Baking Soda

To eliminate odors, sprinkle a little baking soda around the affected area. Let it sit for about 24 hours, and then vacuum up the baking soda. Repeat this process weekly until the odor dissipates.


5. Use an Enzyme Cleaner

You'll find a variety of different brands of enzyme cleaners online. Just look for ones that say something along the lines of "cat urine," "urine," or "feline." Make sure that the label says "enzyme" rather than "hydrolyze." Some of the ingredients found in enzyme cleaners include baking soda, vinegar, hydrogen peroxide, and water. Follow the instructions on the package carefully, and you'll be able to clean up a very stubborn urine stain successfully.


Conclusion

Unfortunately, cat urine is one of the most pungent smells around. It is positively harmful. Not only is the smell rather unpleasant, but it can also be a health hazard as well. Therefore, you will have to work fast to eliminate the odor before it starts causing problems. If you're lucky, you'll be able to remove it in time before your cat decides to use the same spot again.
