Why Use Cat Urine Cleaner?
If you are a first time cat owner you may be wondering why it is so important to spend the money on a targeted
cat urine cleaner. The reason for this is because cat urine is an acid that is not easy to remove and when your cat
urinates once, they are going to continue to do so as long as they can still smell the urine. Right now you may be
thinking that you cannot smell the urine so you have cleaned it properly without a special cat urine cleaning
product, this is not the case. What many people do not take into account is that cats have a very sensitive sense
of smell and just because we can’t smell it does not mean the cat can’t either.
Cat urine cleaners have been specifically created to eliminate not only the stain throughout many different
surfaces of your home but the odours as well that can become embedded in your upholstery and carpets. If you have
never experienced a cat urination throughout your home than you cannot possibly understand the strength of the
smell. The first time this happens to you, you will understand how important it is to make sure you are using the
most effective cleaning solvents on the market today.
Are you aware that there are uric acid crystals in your cat’s urine and these are the crystals that many of the
pet cleaners on the market today cannot breakdown effectively enough to remove the smell from your home? With this
information out in the open, there is only one chemical ingredient found in the leading selling cat urine cleaners
today, enzymes. Since this chemical can only be found in a select few speciality cat cleaners you can now see why
using an average carpet cleaner or cleaning solvent is not going to get the job done properly. These cleaners may
eliminate the stain but it is the odours that you should be more concerned about.
When the enzymes of these cleaning products reach the urine a reaction occurs which helps remove the stain more
easily as well as the deep down odours we cannot smell but our cats can. Searching for the right pet cleaners can
take a great deal of time, searching and money as this can be a trial and error process. Many people are bypassing
these commercially advanced products and relying on the age old home made cat urine products which have been
working for centuries. If you are looking to save money this may be the way to go.
First, you put hot water, peroxide and baking soda in a bowl and mix it until it makes a paste. From here you
can take a cloth or a scrub brush and coat it with this mixture and then apply it directly to the stained area. It
does not take long for this solution to dry and when it does you take a vacuum and clean the area, removing the
stain as well as the odour in just a few minutes.
Why Does my Cat Urine Outside His/Her Litter Box?
If you do not understand why your cat is acting out in this way, it can be hard to prevent future urine
accidents and these types of accidents can really damage your furniture and flooring. Although cats generally do
not require a great deal of training like dogs, it is essential to cover the basics with your cat when they are
kittens. Many times all it takes is to show your cat their litter box, place them inside a few times so they know
where it is and your training days are over. As your kitten grows and reaches the 6month age, they will begin
reaching sexual maturity and this means that urination and spraying may become common. You want to make sure that
you have your cat spayed or neutered before this stage in their growth, if you do not they may continue spraying
even after this procedure.
The most common causes for urination throughout your home is not because your cat is angry at your or too lazy
to make it to their litter box it is more likely that their box is too full or unclean in some way. Everyone knows
that cats are extremely clean animals and when their litter box is not cared for properly, they may urinate
throughout the home to avoid going in their own litter box.
Even if you have never experienced this type of situation with your cat, it is always a good idea to be
knowledgeable about how to clean cat urine properly and have the cleaning solvents on hand. The last thing you want
is to leave the urine to dry on your floor while you go out and search for a cleaning product, always have one on
hand just in case!
