Stress, illness or old age: there are many reasons why a cat urinates in an unwanted place. There are special products that are reliably effective for safely eliminating cat odour. Not only is the smell of cat urine on the carpet or upholstered furniture very unpleasant, but it also encourages the cat to return to the same spot again. It is therefore essential to completely remove the urine and the odour. A special cat urine remover is good for this.

Household remedies or conventional cleaning agents are not suitable for removing cat odour. On non-absorbent surfaces such as tile floors, household cleaners can dilute the odour enough so that humans do not smell it, but the cat will still be able to. On absorbent surfaces, regular cleaning agents do not even work well enough for the human sense of smell. Cleaners containing vinegar or ammonia should never be used in a household with cats, as they encourage some cats to mark their territory.

Effective cat urine removers work on the basis of enzymes and microorganisms. These harmless and biodegradable ingredients can neutralise cat urine. The components contained in the urine are split up and the odour is completely removed, not merely covered up.

Before using the cat urine remover, try to absorb as much urine as possible with paper towels. If the cat has soiled the carpet or a leather sofa, first check whether the cat urine remover is suitable for use on that particular surface. Apply a generous amount of the odour remover to the affected areas and then just let it dry. The enzymes and microorganisms will do the cleaning on their own. If the urine has gotten very deep into the material, for optimal results you may have to use the cat urine remover several times. Treat any urine stains in the usual way, once the product has achieved its full effect. You can buy cat urine remover and other cleaning agents from well-known manufacturers such as Simple Solution, Trixie and many others.
